Gale Rhodes retires after 35 years with the University of Louisville. Whether you became a Cardinal in the late 1980s or you just made it through the pandemic year of online learning, you may not realize that you likely owe a debt of gratitude to Gale Rhodes and her staff. The vice provost with a can-do attitude has worked in many forms of UofL academic affairs and services throughout the 35-year tenure that ended with her June 30 retirement. In recent years, Rhodes had the additional title of executive director of the Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning. “People knew if you gave me something, it got done – and I enjoy that reputation,” Rhodes said.
