Welcome to the Center for Civic Engagement

The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) promotes a culture of civic engagement across the Rice academic community through research, service, and leadership.  It connects Rice faculty and students with each other and Houston-based partners.

Four distinct programs create opportunities for Rice to engage Houston.  The Center for Civic Research and Design cultivates and expands opportunities for Rice undergraduates to conduct research, under the guidance of Rice faculty and in collaboration with community partners, to address the array of challenges facing the Houston community.  The Community Involvement Center promotes volunteer opportunities for the Rice community.  Leadership Rice provides students leadership training and mentorship experiences.  Passport Houston creates opportunities for students to explore Houston and to engage the cultural and performing arts.

Students can retrieve SPSS Data Set and Survey Questionnaires from the School Bond Election Research Project.

Please explore our website to learn more about each of these exciting programs.  I also invite you to visit the center on the second floor of the RMC (Ley Student Center).  For additional information please contact us at post@rice.edu or 713-348-2223.
