Office of Student Involvement Services
The Office of Student Involvement maintains a listing of all active student organizations and offers many services to student organizations and their leaders. The office is located in Burow Hall. Call 901.843.3885 for more information about the office or any of the services available.
Student Organization Database
The Rhodes Student Government Association and Office of Student Involvement maintain a student organization database that lists the presidents of each group. This information is for Rhodes College students, faculty and staff only and is not for solicitation. After a group of students applies for and is granted campus organization status, the organization is added to the database.
Advisor Handbook
Faculty and staff serving as student organization advisors must complete the Advisor Certification held each fall semester. This process is based on the Advisor Handbook (DOC) with Moodle quiz.
Copy Codes
Student organizations with on-campus accounts can obtain copy codes for photocopiers. If your student organization receives an allocation, copies made will be charged to the account. If your organization does not receive allocations, an account will be created into which club leaders can deposit money to pay for copying expenses. Call the Office of Student Involvement to arrange for a copy code. Student organizations using or requesting a copy code must have a line-item request in their student allocations budget proposal. Copy codes are less expensive than copying at Kinko’s or paying at the machine.
Butcher Paper and Paints
To assist club leaders with advertising and PR needs, butcher paper and paints are available at the Student Involvement office during business hours for any students use. Water soluble paints for windows are also available. Paints may be checked out and must be used at in the Briggs Student Center. Appointments can be made for use after business hours. Those wishing to paint the windows of Fraizer-Jelke may do so by reserving the space using the Events Management System.
Additional Resources
The Office of Student Involvement has a photocopier, laminator and paper cutter that are available for student use on the 4th floor of Burrow Hall.
Mail Room Services
All registered student organizations may open a large mailbox in the Rhodes College Mail Room. In order to open a mailbox, a representative needs to speak with the Mail Services Manager in the mail room. Then, he or she will need to provide the name of the president of the organization and pay a $75.00 mailbox fee. The official name of the organization must be given to the mail room and must be provided to all correspondents.
Sample address:
Super Sonic Club
Rhodes College
2000 North Parkway
Memphis TN 38112
In order to maintain a campus mailbox over the summer, organizations are required to pay a $30.00 summer box fee. Failure to pay summer or annual fees will result in the closing of the mailbox, and organizations will receive written notification to return mail keys to the mail room immediately. All organizations will be notified in writing when to pay the summer fees in order to maintain a mailbox over the summer.
The mail room also provides service for all organizations with large mailings. The mail room can seal letter envelopes and apply postage for mailings at no additional cost outside of the cost of postage.
Organizations need to bring large mailings to the mail room and coordinate the mailings with the Manger of Mail Services.
The mail room can also provide assistance in processing of standard mail for all organizations. To discuss the services provided to organizations by the Rhodes Mail Room call 901.843.3239 or go by and talk with the manager about mailing procedures and services.
