Jack Rhodes, who offered over 20 film seminars at µþÂáö°ù°ì±ô³Ü²Ô»å±ð²Ô, and taught into his final year in 2022, left us with the words “I will be with you there in spirit.â€â€¯
The Jack and Glenda Rhodes Endowed Fund for µþÂáö°ù°ì±ô³Ü²Ô»å±ð²Ô has been established to honor Jack's and his wife Glenda’s contributions to the seminar program and to sustain film and media studies at µþÂáö°ù°ì±ô³Ü²Ô»å±ð²Ô. We invite your help in endowing this fund. If interested, please contact Mike Tompos at (507) 301-1728.
Rhodes elegantly defined the SPIRIT of a µþÂáö°ù°ì±ô³Ü²Ô»å±ð²Ô seminar week as:Â
- ²µ±ð²Ô±ð°ù²¹³Ù¾±±¹±ð S´Ç±ô¾±³Ù³Ü»å±ð,Ìý
- ²¹³¾²¹³ú¾±²Ô²µâ€¯P±ð´Ç±è±ô±ð,Ìý
- Intellectual ideas and rigor,Â
- the Rhythm of enriching daily experiences,Â
- a liberating Independence of thought, andÂ
- a Tranquility with the power to transport you to another time.Â
