Recently starring in Rhodes Theatre Guild’s (RTG) production of the musical Amélie, French and Francophone studies and education double major Eliza Fleming ’25 rediscovered her passion for the stage. But more than that, her performance was a testament to how she has come into her own during her time at Rhodes.
Rhodes College’s Office of Academic Affairs has added four new key positions. They are Dr. Elizabeth Thomas, who is now dean for faculty development; Dr. Natalie Person, dean for community engagement/executive director of the Turley Memphis Center for Community Engagement; Dr. Sujan Dan, dean for post-graduate and special programs; and Dr. Geoffrey Maddox, associate dean for assessment and academic effectiveness.
The Greater Memphis area is home to hospitals and medical research and teaching facilities that are ranked among the best in the nation. In the fall, senior chemistry major Parth Patel will be attending one of those institutions—the University of Tennessee Health Science Center—thanks to learning opportunities at area hospitals and Rhodes’ Health Professions Advising Office. Also recently, he received the 2024 Chemistry Research Senior Award for work done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
