"[Energy economics] is a relevant topic now. If you don’t have energy, you don’t have development, so I think that is important for our countries. I was really motivated by all the opportunities and benefits at Rice. Rice has really close relationships with industry, which isn’t normal. Students are encouraged to attend employment fairs. Since I arrived, it’s been a really close community." - Natalia Castaño, first-year MEECON student #RiceMEECON #RiceSocSci #ShapingTheFuture #EnergyEconomics Rice University School of Social Sciences Baker Institute Center for Energy Studies (CES) Rice University https://lnkd.in/g_PrszS6

#FlashbackFriday to a recent summer of #global opportunities for School of Social Sciences students who are shaping the future: 🌎 We sent three Rice University's Master of Global Affairs students to the Institute for Global Negotiation’s 2024 Global Negotiation Conference in Zurich and three MGA students to the Humanitarian Affairs Asia 12th Annual University Scholar’s Leadership Symposium in Bangkok. Our MGA students engaged with peers and leaders from around the world learning skills in collaboration, global negotiation, and service-learning. 🌟 Our Moody Gateway Summer Fellows interned at The Menninger Clinic, Ounce of Care, The Council on Recovery, and Irish Heritage School. Our focus on high impact practices through experiential learning led our students to consider new career paths and gain valuable skills working among diverse populations, integrative research experiences, and mentoring from the very best site supervisors. 🏆 Last but not least, our Rice University's Master Of Energy Economics students interned at multinational organizations, and our Rice | Master of Social Policy Evaluation students completed a real-world #policy evaluation for Alief Independent School District through the Texas Policy Lab. What will inspire YOU to Shape the Future for this new school year? #RiceSocSci #ShapingTheFuture #RiceMGA #RiceMEECON #RiceMSPE

García said when he first came to Rice to attend the School of Social Science’s Statistical Training and Research Techniques program, he was amazed by the warm welcome he received from current students, professors, Fulbright@Rice and the whole community in Houston. “Rice can be defined with four words: friendly and intellectually challenging,” García said. “I chose the Master of Energy Economics as I wanted to combine my previous experience in academia with exposure to the energy industry. Choosing Rice has been the best decision I’ve taken in my career.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gk9UMjBN #STaRTatRice2024 #RiceSocSci #ShapingTheFuture Rice University's Master Of Energy Economics
