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, Sport, and Human
Sciences 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, Sport, and Human Sciences that serves, facilitates, and
supports faculty and College of Education, Sport, and Human Sciences initiatives that
involve internal and external collaboration, partnership, and outreach.
