What are the benefits of being a Rodman Scholar?
Official Rodman Scholars Program benefits include priority registration, special Scholar housing with both Rodman and Echols Scholars, a unique first year curriculum tailored to the intellectual abilities of first year Rodman Scholars, and exclusive access to Rodman Seminars–student-initiated pass/fail courses designed to either delve deeper into gaps in the engineering curriculum or explore intellectual horizons beyond the engineering school. Unofficially, the Rodman Scholars Program Director, Rodman Student Council, and the Rodman students are working to foster the existing community and develop social events to further intra-class bonding. Check the Rodman Council Minutes to see what we mean. Come to Charlottesville and see for yourself, or ask any of our students: the friends you make in the Rodman and Echols Scholars Programs and the late night (3:00 AM at the earliest) philosophical discussions with fellow suite occupants are what make the Rodman experience.
