CODA
Center for Outreach in the Development of the Arts
The CODA Fellows program, established in 2005 with generous grant from the Robert and Ruby Priddy Charitable Trust of Wichita Falls, Texas, is for liberal arts majors with a passion for the fine arts. The program fosters leadership, vision, communication skills and innovative thinking for future leaders in the arts.
Each CODA Fellow receives an annual scholarship of $12,500 in return for 10 hours of service to the arts each week. The experience of each CODA Fellow culminates in their senior year, during which students format a Community Arts Project (CAP) with an off-campus arts organization. Additionally, CODA works with Rhodes College faculty and student groups to integrate the arts into the broader curriculum, enhance the college′s fine arts programs, create a rich arts environment on campus and in the community, and challenge all Rhodes students to view themselves as potential leaders in the arts.
