Rice-TMC Experiential Education Network
Rice ENRICH and the Rice Internship Council of the Center for Career Development (CCD) have partnered to lead the efforts of the Rice-TMC Experiential Education Network (REEN).
REEN is composed of offices and programs throughout campus that facilitate student engagement in the TMC. The group focuses primarily on member-identified issues and needs related to Rice student engagement in TMC institutions.
For all course-related curriculum needs, Rice uses Canvas as its Learning Management System. If you need assistance with Canvas tools, please visit this page for information about logging in, new features, outside tools, and more.
If you would like to join the REEN network, contact enrich@rice.edu or Ivette Mekdessi at ifm2@rice.edu.
