Jacque Rhodes is
the new Assistant Dean for Multicultural Student Development at Calvin
College, moving into that slot after half a decade of work at Calvin
as an Academic Counselor.
Calvin vice president
Shirley Hoogstra says Rhodes will be a great fit for her new task.
"Jacque has
worked diligently and effectively to support and retain ethnic minority
students during the past five years," says Hoogstra. "Now,
in many ways, Jacque is returning to her roots in student development
since before coming to Calvin she served as a residence hall director
for five years at Grand Valley (State University)."
Hoogstra describes
Rhodes as "an energetic, compassionate and diligent advocate for
all students."
Last semester Rhodes
not only worked as an Academic Counselor, but also served as an advisor
to Calvin's Multicultural Student Advisory Board and worked as a co-facilitator
of a Seminar on the Healing of Racism.
Rhodes is a native of Memphis, Tenn. She has a bachelor's degree from
Western Michigan University and a master's in education from Grand Valley.
