Dear Reinhardt Family,
The Coronavirus pandemic has impacted the globe and is now impacting our local communities. Indeed, the past two weeks have been challenging for all of us.
Like many organizations, Reinhardt University has been forced, with nearly no warning, to shift how we work, including how we teach and learn and how we operate. It has changed our daily lives in ways we had not imagined. For some, it means we no longer can learn in the way we intended to learn; it means, for others, an unexpected health emergency that upends a family.
The pandemic is also radically transforming daily business practices and the U.S. economy. The consequences and responses to these changes from American universities and American businesses will continue to change as we all adapt to these new realities.
Understanding that students and families are seeking answers to questions, Reinhardt University administration has developed a
website
to help answer questions. As we learn and understand the complex issues at play, operationally and financially, we will communicate our actions. We ask for your understanding and patience as we address this unprecedented emergency. It is important to you, and it is important to us.
Finally, it's hard to express in words how very proud I am of our Reinhardt family!
Our full-time and part-time faculty took all of their in-person classes online; our on-ground students began learning in a new way. Our staff answered the call and modified their in-office processes to be able to increase social distancing. Our devoted donors have continued to provide important gifts to support student scholarships.
I am deeply grateful for how the Reinhardt community members have supported each other and have responded with grace in these unusual times.
I am thankful for each of you.
