What We Do
The Office of Communications, a unit of the Division of Enrollment and Communications, has been charged with providing guidance for admissions and advancement marketing, enhancing Rhodes’ reputation and national profile, and telling those stories that further the Rhodes Vision.
Media On Campus

Permission must be given in advance before media can access campus to conduct interviews, investigate stories, or shoot video/photography.
