Frances Dodson Rhome Scholarship
Overview
Professor Emerita Frances Dodson Rhome served IUPUI (now IU Indianapolis) for 17 years in the Department of English and the Women's Studies Program (which has since been renamed the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program). In 1973, Chancellor Maynard Hine appointed Professor Emerita Rhome as IUPUI's first Affirmative Action Officer. Throughout her time on campus, Rhome frequently gave back to her community. In honor of her work at the university, the School of Liberal Arts created the Frances Dodson Rhome Scholarship for students who demonstrate their interest in English literature or women's studies.
