Rice University American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative (ALCSI; https://www.alcsi.org/), a university branch of the ALCSI nonprofit organization of over 50 chapters, including students and doctors working to raise awareness of lung cancer and lung cancer screening in communities around the country. 

Rice ALCSI is made up of undergraduate student passionate about the early detection of lung cancer. We have held events throughout Houston and the Rice campus educating the community about lung cancer screening. In addition, we have held events making ribbons and goodies for lung cancer patients and invited guest speakers to educate the Rice student body.
