Mary Phan ’18
An economics and art history double major, Mary Phan combines her academic and personal passions to strengthen the local arts community. As a Clarence Day Scholar at Rhodes, she serves as an outreach liaison between students and institutions such as Opera Memphis, the Dixon Gallery and Gardens, and the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.
Mary has used her economics knowledge to assist local arts organizations with fundraising and sustainability initiatives. She has also performed violin and served as orchestra manager for the Memphis Sinfonietta. Her efforts on and off campus were rewarded this spring when she received an Americans for the Arts NABE Scholarship, which encourages the integration of arts and economics.
