Here at Rhodes College, we are offered countless programs and service opportunities to go along with our regular schoolwork. These opportunities range from fellowships to summer classes, and they’re the perfect way to boost your resume or discover new passions or interests.

Summer Classes

Dr. Valeria Z. Nollan is celebrating the publication of Volume 3 of Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff. Scholarly Edition of the Complete Collected Works.

Bhavna Kansal ′15 presents her paper, "Narrative Coherence and Psychological Mindedness as Buffers Against Victimization Among Children Rejected by Peers," at the SRCD Biennial Meeting. 

Dr. Leslie Petty, associate professor of English, will introduce a viewing of George Cukor’s 1933 film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women. Free and open to the public, the event will take place at 2 p.m. on April 6 at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.

The film focuses on the travails of the novel’s characters—the March sisters—as they await the return of their father fighting as a Union soldier in the Civil War. It stars Katherine Hepburn as the irrepressible Jo March.

Sarah Bacot ’13 of Diamondhead, Miss., has been named a Watson Fellow.

Rhodes junior Brian Tchang has been selected to receive a U.S. Department of State Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) to study in South Korea this summer. The CLS Program is extremely selective with more than 4,900 applications submitted for the 2013 program. 

Sarah Lacy,  journalist and media entrepreneur, will headline a conference in Nashville showcasing some of the fastest-growing startups in Southeastern states.

If there is anything that the entire Rhodes population could agree on, it’s that the only thing better than eating delicious food is eating delicious food in the comfort of your bed. Luckily, Memphis had got us covered in terms of awesome take-out locations, giving us the ability to enjoy a high quality meal while never taking our eyes off of Netflix. So read on and embrace your gluttonous nature.

One of Rhodes' more intriguing programs on campus is the Deaf Literacy Fellowship. The fellowship is in its third year and has four fellows each year.

It is not every class at Rhodes where a student may be listening to relaxing music with classmates one day and playing drums with toddlers the next. But such was the case for students in Professor Mona Kreitner’s Fall 2012 course titled “Music and Healing.” The experiential learning aspect of the course required students to volunteer in the community at either The Parkview, an independent learning community for senior citizens, or Hope House, a non-profit which assists children and adults impacted by HIV and AIDS.
