Graduate students are the lifeblood of modern scientific research. These students are the hands/eyes/ears of the faculty, pursuing the research agenda under the mentorship of the faculty. Graduate fellowships allow departments to recruit the very best graduate students in the country. Graduate fellows are future renowned scientists who attend Rice in their formative years to pursue their area of interest. Our graduate students serve as mentors and guides for our undergraduates as they come into the laboratories to learn how to do basic research; they serve as teaching assistants in our undergraduate laboratories; they tutor, provide help sessions, and help guide the undergraduates in our courses. Indeed, they are a part of the entire vertical team—undergraduate, graduates, post-docs, and faculty—that undertakes the research challenge. Our graduate programs create leaders and experts in their fields, and their success reflects positively on Rice.
