The James and Susan Rex Institute for Educational Renewal and Partnership opened its
doors in 2010.
The Institute honors Dr. Jim Rex, former dean of education at Winthrop University
as well as the former State Superintendent of Education for South Carolina, and Dr.
Sue Smith-Rex, retired Winthrop University College of Education faculty and a former
member of the Winthrop University Board of Trustees. Drs. Jim and Sue Rex have spent
their careers promoting and supporting education, and the James and Susan Rex Institute
for Educational Renewal and Partnership honors their investment in education.
The Rex Institute is a service-oriented organization within Winthrop's Richard W.
Riley College of Education that serves, facilitates, and supports faculty and College
of Education initiatives that involve internal and external collaboration, partnership,
and outreach.
