Commencement week is back at Rhodes!

As we celebrate the Class of 2026 and welcome the newest generation of Rhodes alumni, we’re reminded of the moments that make this place unforgettable — lifelong friendships, inspiring professors, late nights in the library, celebrations on the Front Lawn, and the experiences that shape who we become long after graduation day.

To our alumni: as you reflect on your own Rhodes memories this week, consider making a gift in honor of this graduating class. Your generosity helps ensure that future Lynx will have the same transformational experiences, opportunities, and sense of belonging that made Rhodes home for you.

Here’s to the graduates stepping into their next chapter — and to the alumni community that continues to make the Rhodes experience possible for generations to come. ❤️🖤

We love when our alumni share pictures from their travels with us, especially when they get to meet up with each other - Thank you to Melanie Elliot Hillard ’92 and Saffa Koja Sleet ’94 for sharing this great picture of you both in Sydney, Australia! What a great display of the global experience of the Rhodes family.
