Rhodes’ Food Recovery Network board includes Tate Mulligan, Alex Coughlin, Alisa Redding, Lelo Shamambo, Maggie Palopoli, Zach Abdo, Zach Thornton, and Zoe Feder.

Rhodes hosted acclaimed poet, essayist, and playwright Claudia Rankine as part of the Rhodes Reads program. 

Mallika Rao spent the summer helping to provide free health care services to women in India through the PoornaSudha Cancer Foundation.

Caroline Magee, Emily Harrison, Rebecca Evans,  Madison Perchik, and Samantha Jelinek were the only American undergraduates at the conference attended by scientists from all over the world.

The Rhodes senior shares her experiences and the valuable lessons learned working at Hope House, which seeks to improve the quality of life for HIV-affected individuals and their families.
