Rhodes is in charge of the college’sadministrative departments including admissions,financial aid, external relations, and the VisualArts Press, is creative director of the school’saward-winning Web site, and oversees the widelyrecognized, ground-breaking subway ad campaigns.His father (“Pops”) “was never an easyman to please,” he reports. “There was fuzzinessabout him, but when he said no, there was a reason.”The son is often mindful of Pops’ high standardsand the advice, “If you do something well,you will be rewarded afterwards.” In admissions,the school has met its enrollment targets—3300undergraduates and 450 graduate students—threeyears early. “SVA will continue to grow its graduateprograms as well as own the land it sits on,moving from leasing to ownership in the future,”an important goal, explains Rhodes. Distancelearning is being considered and additional academicconcentrations are being planned. Rhodesis particularly excited about the new MFA programin Criticism and Writing. He notes there arevery few writers on the history of design. StevenHeller, an expert with over 100 books in the fielddrew up the SVA program. Reflecting the founder’svision, typically, 30 percent of a student’s programcomprises courses in humanities and liberalarts taken alongside studio art courses.

Rhodes explains the collegedoes very little advertisingto attract students from abroad,preferring personal visits to prospective feedercountries. “There are college fairs throughout theworld,” he explains. He visited China in 2000and SVA representatives actively recruit and getthe school’s name out in many parts of the world.Last year, a poster show in Taiwan helped hookSVA into the local professional arts community.Super Phat, a recent New York exhibit of art byJapanese alumni, hosted a large crowd includinggraduates who flew in from Japan.The Visual Arts Press designs and producesall print matter for the college ranging fromcatalogues to invitations for art openings. Rhodesexplains, “Because we’re an art school, we haveto present a better catalogue, better than liberalarts schools, and better than our peers.” Thecatalogues are very exciting. The subway posters,originally used as recruitment tools and illustrationsof the potential of design, are now odes tothe importance of art in people’s lives. They hangon walls of subway stations for about one monthand appear three times a year. SVA is unique,says Rhodes, because it is a private institutionand not committee-driven. Its structure keeps itnimble and able to make decisions quickly. “Thecornerstone of this place is our part-time professionalfaculty,” he points out. “Some people don’trealize how important that is until they get here orleave here. Students get the most current knowledgeof the time.”Rhodes, who is not trained in art, cites his highschool instructors and Ed McCabe, an advertisingcopywriter who now works for the school, forinspiring him and teaching him a great deal ofwhat he knows. His great passion, he confesses, iscooking and when not at SVA, he is in the kitchenpreparing food for weekend guests. #Please Include your phone numberNOVEMBER 2007“What I learned“What Bank I learned Streetcontinuesat Bank Streetto continues inspire meto inspire mein my ownin my ownclassroom.”classroom.”A BANK STREET COLLEGE ALUMNA— A BANK STREET ALUMNAWhichprogram willinspire you?INNOVATION INTEACHING AND LEARNINGINNOVATION INTEACHING AND LEARNINGName:__________________________________________________________Address:_______________________________________________________City:_________________________________State:___Zip:_______________Phone (incl. area code): ____________________________________________________Roderick Angle
