Experiential Learning:
At Rhodes, we use the experiential learning model - the process of actively engaging students in an authentic experience that will have benefits and consequences. Students make discoveries and experiment with knowledge themselves instead of hearing or reading about the experiences of others. Students also reflect on their experiences, thus developing new skills, new attitudes, and new theories or ways of thinking.

Student Testimonial:

"Thank you Rhodes! What an amazing year this has been for me. I came here thinking that the wellness program would be about personal growth and not necessarily a career change. One year later I’m leaving knowing that it has been about both. Not only have I grown internally but I am confident that I have found my calling. I have become so much more empowered in my life and I want and plan to help other woman da the same! Thank you for one of the most challenging yet gratifying years of my life."
