About the Community Involvement Center
During the Fall of 1995, the Community Involvement Center (CIC) was established as the center for community service programming for Rice University students, faculty, and staff. The Community Involvement Center seeks to establish a culture of service and an ethic of social responsibility within the University community by developing one-time and ongoing service programs, advising student service organizations, and serving as a resource for students, faculty, and staff interested in community service and service-learning. The Community Involvement Center coordinates a number of opportunities for civic involvement throughout the year including: O-Week Outreach Day; Urban Immersion; two fairs highlighting career, internship, and volunteer opportunities; the International Service Project to Guatemala, and an Alternative Spring Break program. In addition, the Community Involvement Center staff is available to assist the University community by providing referrals to local volunteer opportunities.
