CIC Mission
The Mission of the Community Involvement Center is:
- To develop a culture of service within the University, advocating
community service and social responsibility for all members of the Rice
community;
- To act as a clearinghouse of resources and referrals on community
agencies, service opportunities, service-learning, and other means of
public service;
- To link academic theory with hands-on practical experience and to
encourage students to use their education to respond to human needs;
- To raise awareness of social issues for the University community;
- To empower students, faculty, and staff to become leaders in affecting
social change at local, national, and international levels, and to develop
a lifelong commitment to service.
The Community Involvement Center is a department within the Center for Civic Engagement, reporting to the Office of the Dean of Undergraduates.
