About the Graduate Liaisons Program
CTE Graduate Liaisons facilitate communication between the CTE and graduate students, attend CTE events, represent CTE at departmental events, and provide feedback on the CTE's programming.
We encourage you to reach out to your liaison for a graduate student perspective on CTE's programming and courses.
If your department is not listed below, please contact the CTE directly to be connected to a liaison. To learn more about becoming a liaison, particularly for departments with open positions, please contact us at cte@rice.edu.
