Dr. Rob Rhodes Learning Mantra
The Learning Mantra was developed by a group of Neeley Fellows to honor a faculty member who embodied a passion for learning and inspired his students to do so as well. The intent behind the Learning Mantra is to provide inspiration and direction to our students in terms of how they think about and approach learning.
Learning to Be Wrong Willingly
Learning to Succeed Humbly
Learning to Ask Questions Thoughtfully
Learning to Value Relationships
Learning to Live with Integrity
“and just maybe, you’ll not just learn to change the world, but you will actually change it, one small step at a time.”
