Rhodes Student Associate Program

A new phase of the RSAP page has just begun: RSAP Supervisor of the week! Along with continuing to recognize exceptional RSAs, we will now also be featuring the incredible professionals who mentor us every day and help build our personal and professional development skills.

We want to start off by recognizing the supervisor who makes the program possible! Karyn Allen is the Assistant Director of Financial Aid and is responsible for overseeing the RSAP Program and the (sometimes working, always goofy) RSAP coordinators. Here are some testimonials from Karyn’s current RSAPs about what it’s like to work with her!

“The opportunity to have Karyn as a supervisor and mentor is a tremendous gift. Her positive attitude and work ethic bleed in to every aspect of our office and inspires us to get the job done with a smile on our faces. She is incredibley talented at working with people and makes everyone around her feel accepted and respected. Karyn is a prime example of what it means to practice what you preach and we feel so lucky to get to work with her!”

“Working in Financial Aid would not be the same if it weren’t for Karyn (& Michael); however, Karyn as my supervisor has been nothing less of amazing. Every single day, no matter what, Karyn greets us with a smiling face and is always checking in and making sure that things are going well inside the office as well as outside of the office. Karyn has very easily became like a mom to us in FinAid—offering us love, support, and guidance while also keeping her expectations high. Running the RSAP program and Student Employment on campus, Karyn is the epitome of what a supervisor should look like—constantly pushing us as professionals in the workplace while also loving us as her own children.”

Karyn, we love you! ❤️
