Endowments
Human Impacts on the Earth – We are in the process of building an Institute of Earth, Environment and Energy. We will work with Houston’s energy, medical, chemical and space sectors to train the next generation of undergraduate and graduate students in complex systems thinking through Whole Earth Systems Science. Our goal is to position Rice as a leader in three key areas: energy and natural resources development, coastal sustainability and environment, and planetary exploration. Join us on this exciting journey of learning about our planet and making it more habitable.
Industry-Rice Earth Science Symposium (IRESS) – This endowment goes to the development of a think tank and symposium that brings together industry and academic leaders to solve fundamental problems related to the Earth, environment and energy.
Douglas and Martha Lou Broussard Fellowship – In honor of Martha Lou Broussard, who was the first female graduate of our department. This fellowship supports graduate students in their last year, with the goal of promoting women and community service in the Earth sciences.
Devlin-Schnable Memorial Award – This award helps to offset the cost of summer field camp for Geology/Geophysics students.
Education and Innovation Fund – We are always trying to enhance the educational and research experience of our students. We do this by running field courses, developing interdisciplinary courses, inviting students into our laboratories, and building computational, visualization, geochemical and geophysical facilities. We pride ourselves in pursuing ideas and ventures that traditional funding agencies might find too risky to support. In particular, we encourage both undergraduate and graduate students to engage in self-discovery and to pursue their own ideas. Our undergraduate honors thesis is one example of empowering students to design their own projects. Some have developed new experimental apparatus. Others have designed their own field expeditions. Some have explored the dynamics of other planets. Your support would go far in ensuring our students have the freedom to continue exploring, innovating and cultivating their creativity.
