Wiess School of Natural Sciences Endorsement in Science Engagement

Endorsement in Science Engagement

The Endorsement in Science Engagement is ideal for students interested in learning about public science communication and outreach without a significant time commitment. It is available to undergraduate and graduate students in any discipline and can be completed at any time during a student’s education. The Endorsement in Science Engagement is not a Rice University academic credential; it is granted and administered by the Wiess School of Natural Sciences.


Requirements for the Endorsement in Science Engagement: 

Students must attend a total of six events related to public science communication and/or science outreach. Examples of events include workshops, lectures, and seminars by Rice faculty and staff or by visiting experts. A list of qualifying events will be provided each semester by the Wiess School of Natural Sciences. 

For each qualifying event, a brief analysis must be submitted by the student via this Google Form. The analysis must be submitted by the last day of classes during the semester in which the event was attended.
