Rhodes Achieves 2026 Carnegie Community Engagement Classification

The American Council on Education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching announced today that Rhodes College is one of 237 U.S. colleges and universities to receive its 2026 Carnegie Community Engagement Classification, which elevates an institution’s exceptional commitment to mutually beneficial partnerships with communities. The new classification is valid until 2032.

Gen Z

Like colleges across the country, Rhodes welcomes the next great generation of scholars, Gen Z. Known as self-starters, self-learners, and self-motivators, Gen Z students present a new slate of challenges for recruitment and retention. As it always has, Rhodes rises to the occasion.

Rhodes & Beyond

Helping turn around a failing school motivates these alumni teachers.
