Meet the OURI Peer Research Ambassadors
Peer Research Ambassadors are Rice students who have engaged in research, design, and creative work during their undergraduate careers and want to help other students get involved. Ambassadors host office hours and attend OURI workshops and events in order to share information specific to their academic schools. They also serve as an advisory board, providing feedback to OURI staff on how to improve outreach efforts.
Applications are now open if you are interested in being a PRA for the 2026-2027 academic year. Apply here by Friday, August 28th.
Looking for individual advice or feedback? Fill out a PRA meeting request. Starting August 25th, requests will be sent every Tuesday.
