With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of Richard A. Tapia.

Dr. Tapia was a distinguished mathematician and professor at Rice University whose groundbreaking research and activism inspired generations of students.

He founded Rice University’s Tapia Center to champion his dedication to increasing the participation of underrepresented minorities in science and engineering.

In 2022, Arte Público Press published his book, Losing the Precious Few: How America Fails to Educate its Minorities in Science and Engineering which documented his research on disparity in education.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

May he rest in eternal peace 🕊️
