Letter to the editor
To the Editor:
I was quoted in last issue's "Un-Recap" article. In this article, my comments were taken out of context. I wanted to reiterate that Unconvention was an excellent event which was able to get over 500 students, faculty, staff and alumni volunteers involved in over 120 events over the course of five days. As I helped organize and run some of the events myself, I heard about how all the students involved with the Unconvention enjoyed it. I applaud all of those involved for their efforts, and I am looking forward to welcoming the Houston community to Rice for many years to come.
