Flints' gift names
'Flint Hall'  in the Falany Performing Arts Center 

By Tim Norton
     Austin and Bea Flint have long-standing, strong ties to Waleska and Reinhardt University dating back to 1969 when they purchased land just a couple of miles from the center of town and the Reinhardt campus as a "retreat" from the city, and as a place where Austin's mother would reside for most of the rest of her life. Reinhardt is also the place where Bea taught English for 12 years (1978-1990).

     Now, with a $1 million gift to the University for current capital projects and in support of a new endowed scholarship for music students, the Flints are being recognized with the naming of the concert hall in the Falany Performing Arts Center (FPAC). The hall will bear the name "Flint Hall."
