For general student concerns, Rhodes College has a C.A.R.E. (Concern, Assess, Response, and Evaluate) Team. This team convenes regularly to discuss concerning, disruptive, or threatening behaviors. The team is focused on early intervention and prevention of disruption amongst the community. The team seeks to provide support, guidance, other interventions, and/or referral to additional resources. The Dean of Students office can be contacted at 901-843-3815.
For mental health concerns without an imminent safety risk/emergencies, the Student Counseling Center is open from 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. To schedule an appointment during regular office hours, please call (901) 843-3128, come in, or visit rhodes.edu/studentcounselingcenter. Appointments are preferred, when possible, but walk-ins are welcome and will be seen as soon as possible.
