Rhodes College Campus Safety has received reports of scam phone calls being made to parents of some of our student-athletes. This is a national scam that has occurred at institutions across the country.
Parents of several student-athletes have received scam calls from numbers ”spoofing” the Rhodes Campus Safety phone number. During these phone calls, the caller claims to be a Rhodes Campus Safety Officer and tells the parent that their son or daughter has been arrested for underage drinking or something similar and that money is needed to bail them out. They request immediate payment be made (via Venmo, bank transfer, or other electronic means) in order to release their son or daughter from custody.
Please be aware that Rhodes Campus Safety will never make a call to solicit money. If you receive such a call, it is fraudulent. Please report the call to Rhodes Campus Safety
It is not believed, at this point in time, that there has been a data breach as many student-athlete's media profiles contain the names of parents on the public website.

I write to alert you to potential severe weather overnight tonight Wednesday, May 8, 2024. The National Weather Service issued a Tornado Watch until 3:00 a.m. May, 9, 2024, for Shelby County.
In the event of a tornado warning, civil defense sirens will sound, and you are advised to take appropriate shelter immediately. You should immediately move to the lowest floor or most interior part of your building. Avoid exterior walls, windows and doors. Put as many walls as you can between you and the outside. Cover yourself for safety.
As a reminder of tornado safety information, a TORNADO WATCH is issued when conditions are very favorable, and a tornado is possible in the near future. A TORNADO WARNING is issued when a tornado has been sighted, indicated by radar, or may strike in the vicinity of our area. Nighttime tornados are particularly dangerous.
Please be advised that during inclement weather you should anticipate wet floors and stairwells. Please exercise caution when moving around in the buildings.
When possible, Rhodes Campus Safety will send an emergency Rhodes Alert when a Tornado Warning is issued for campus. You will likely hear tornado sirens before a Rhodes Alert is issued. If possible, Rhodes Campus Safety will issue an all-clear when conditions allow.
