Amplifying Student Voices: RSG Branch Leaders Share Insights on Their Essential Roles

Rhodes Student Government (RSG) represents the interests of students to the rest of the campus—faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and friends of the college. In addition to the RSG officers and Student Senate members, which are elected by a student body-wide vote, there are four governmental bodies: the Allocations and Student Organizations Commission, Community Standards Council, Honor Council, and Rhodes Activities Board. This year’s officers talked to us about their responsibility to represent not only organizations, but also the values that define our campus culture.

Robertson Hall naming connects college’s past to its future.

By Lynn Conlee

This is a love story. It is not a typical story about the sciences. Or a stone-by-stone account of a new building. Or merely a tale of successful alumni. Yet, science and buildings and alumni play the main characters in this story. Other key characters are education and gumption. And that makes this a perfect love story about Rhodes College.
