Everett Rhodes

Background

Everett Rhodes is on the faculty of the Department of Marketing & Supply Chain and holds a master’s degree from the University of Minnesota, along with professional licensure and industry certifications. Before Porter, Everett was a brand manager for a consumer-goods company.

Everett brings that practice into the classroom, teaching from real cases and current standards in retail and services marketing and event and hospitality management.

Areas of expertise

• Retail and services marketing
• Event and hospitality management
• Applied practice and industry partnerships

Teaching

Everett regularly teaches courses in Marketing & Digital Communication, Supply Chain Management, Hospitality & Tourism Management. Specific sections and syllabi are listed in the class schedule each term.

Class time is built around cases and real deliverables. Students work to professional standards, present to a critique or a client-style panel, and revise. Everett keeps the connection to current practice explicit.

Advising and office hours

Everett advises students in the Marketing & Supply Chain programs and holds weekly office hours during the fall and spring terms, posted on the office door and in the course pages. Prospective students are welcome to email to arrange a visit or a call.

Advising conversations usually cover course sequencing, whether to add a minor or a concentration, and how classroom work connects to internships, research, or graduate study. Students who are undecided are welcome; part of the job is helping them narrow things down.

Recent and representative work

Everett stays active in practice alongside teaching, through consulting, standards work, and applied projects in retail and services marketing and event and hospitality management. Representative items:

• An applied project in retail and services marketing with an industry or community partner.
• A workshop or short course on event and hospitality management for practitioners in the region.
• Service on a standards, licensing, or advisory body related to retail and services marketing.
