Memphis is more than where weā€™re locatedā€”itā€™s part of who we are. ā¤ļø

As part of their first-year experience, our newest Lynx visited the National Civil Rights Museum to connect with the cityā€™s history and the powerful legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. Now, that history becomes part of our first-year studentsā€™ own Rhodes experience.

Because at Rhodes, being part of this community means learning from the past, engaging with the present, and helping shape what comes next. ā¤ļø
