Consulting and Help
To request help, ask a question, or schedule a consultation, you may contact us in several ways.
Office Hours - Fall 2026
We've partnered with colleagues at Fondren Library to offer Research Computing, Data & AI Office Hours, offered every Tuesday during the semester from 10am - noon, and from 1pm - 3pm. This is a hybrid event, where we meet both over Zoom and in-person at the Digital Curation Lab in Fondren Library (basement floor, next to the GIS/Data Center).
Please stop by (in-person or virtually) to ask questions you have regarding Rice's Research Computing resources and CRC services (such as high-performance computing, virtual machines, research data storage, data visualization, etc.), as well as topics like AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning), data management, and digital scholarship.
For more details, including Zoom links, please refer to this shared Google Calendar; you'll need to sign in with your Rice Google account to access the calendar.
