COMMUNITY OUTREACH HEADS
The Martel Diversity Council was created to celebrate the diversity of Martelians through facilitating conversations, increasing social awareness, fostering an inclusive environment, and encouraging a culture of care for everyone. We have held events such as Pride Week, the Holi color festival, Latin movie night, dinner chats on controversial topics, and subsidized tickets for shows like the Vagina Monologues. We encourage any members of Martel College to come to us with ideas for conversations or events they think would be beneficial for our community. We would love to meet you, so feel free to reach out!

Hi Martel!
Welcome to "Martel, A History". We Historians document every event that can, and will occur, on our college premise. We are the eyes, ears and recorders of every great occurance, every embarrassing moment, every tear-jerking scene, but most importantly: EVERY BEER BIKE (MBYM). You think no one saw you running with a diaper in the middle of a flash flood? We did, and we have it on camera.
But we're not keeping all this picture gold to ourselves. As much as we'd love to use this job to blackmail all of Martel into following our demands, we figure that might make Parliament a little awkward. So instead, we'll be sharing the memories with you guys via the brand new Martel Historians Facebook page. We'll be tagging photos, so bring your best Martel, we're watching you. Yes, we are also on Instagram. You can also see our photos on Google Drive!
The Martel College Theatre Committee aims to foster greater theatrical involvement from all Martelians both on Rice campus and in the city of Houston, be it as performers, technicians, designers, and even as audience members. We do this by producing theatrical productions, advertising theatre opportunities around campus, and hosting outings to see theatre productions in the Houston community. In recent memory, we worked with our RA Norma Santamaria to subsidize student tickets to A Chorus Line (September 2019) at Theatre Under the Stars in downtown Houston. We also bought a new stage and stage cart for Martel committees to use for a variety of Martel bonding events, such as Oktoberfest, the Martel Holiday Party, and Awards Night. Most importantly, we have worked with Sid Richardson college to put on successful and innovative productions of The Last Five Years (December 2017) and First Date (March 2019). If you have ideas for the future of Martel theatre or would like to get involved with theatre on campus or in the community, do not hesitate to reach out!
