My name is Crystal Snyder and I have been a Student Success Navigator with Rhodes State since October 2020. Prior to this role, I worked with Rhodes’ Financial Aid Office as an Administrative Assistant and a Financial Aid Advisor since August 2017. I really enjoy my role at Rhodes, as I want to help ensure new students receive the tools and resources needed to feel confident about starting school and being successful. I truly enjoy working with adult or non-traditional students, as I was a non-traditional student myself. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about your program or the college in general.
