Sid Richardson College

For 2026, Sid Richardson College is focusing its 24-Hour Challenge fundraising on enhancing the intellectual life of the college. Your contribution will directly support programs that contribute to enriching Sidizens’ personal, social, cultural and academic development outside the classroom.

We have stepped up our programming and support of college events and activities that showcase and explore the diversity of views and experiences of our community. We would like to continue and expand programming that enriches Sidizens’ student life and fosters a sense of pride and belonging in our community. Examples of this programming in recent years includes:

• Black History Month Campuswide Picnic
• Midwest Culture Night and Euchre Tournament
• Make-and-Take baking/cooking workshops to learn culinary skills
• Salsa, merengue and bachata dance lessons
• Puerto Rico Culture Night
• Election Watch Parties
• Lecture Series and Colloquiums with scholars, curators, and artists.
• Cultural celebrations such as Easter, Diwali, Lunar New Year and Thanksgiving.
• Off-campus excursions to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center, Strawberry picking at Froberg’s Farm

We are so appreciative of our Sid alumni, associates, family, and friends who help provide these opportunities!
