A Twist on Twist – “Oliver Twist”

Reinhardt University Theater welcomes “Oliver Twist” on Feb. 18. Based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens and adapted for the stage by playwright Neil Bartlett in 2004, the story follows the tragic life of an orphan, Oliver Twist. “The story is a little dark,” says Morgan Brooks, show director. “He’s an orphan going through terrible things until he finds happiness.”
Taking Chances
Angela Chance is a full-time Reinhardt student, a senior majoring in biology with a concentration in pre-physical therapy – but she’s not a typical undergraduate. She beautifully exemplifies the life and work of a persistent, determined and bold adult learner. She is almost 40 and raising two children, ages 6 and 15. “I’m not a young student,” says Chance. “It’s very difficult coming back to school.” But she’s making it work!
Meet Kelly Brooks!
Kelly Brooks plays an important role as Reinhardt’s Accounting Specialist - Accounts Payable – she pays the bills!

“Organized, meticulous and knowing that everything is in order,” Brooks makes the complexities and importance of the role seem simple and straightforward.
Congratulations Winners of the 2022 Science and Engineering Fair

Congratulations to the students who competed in the 2022 Northwest Georgia Regional Science and Engineering Fair (NWGARSEF) on Feb. 4 and 5. Students from elementary school through high school competed virtually in this year’s fair. “We had more than double the number of participants this year, which was exciting,” said Aliya Davenport, associate professor of biology and co-director for NWGARSEF.

Disc Golf Course Ribbon Cutting & Tournament
Join us for the ribbon cutting of the newly expanded 18-hole Reinhardt Disc Golf Course followed by the very first Reinhardt University Disc Golf Tournament on Saturday, February 12. Spectators are welcome to enjoy the tournament.

The ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at the Eagle Statue in the heart of campus next to Tee Box #1 at 8:50 AM followed by the ceremonial first throw. Spectators are welcome and invited to enjoy watching the tournament.
Shamrock Stroll
Take part in a world class .5K road race that starts at the Cauble School of Nursing & Health Sciences and finishes at the intersection of Main Street and Hwy 53.

The Shamrock Stroll includes a post-race party for the whole family. Live music will keep runners moving and grooving. Coca-Cola and Pendley Creek Brewing will address any rehydration issues.
Support our students!
Make It Four In A Row!

This is a stat that you will not see often in the sport of basketball: The Eagles have three players in double figures all coming off the bench to lead them in scoring and help Reinhardt secure their fourth win in a row. This would be eight wins out of twelve since the Christmas Break for the Eagles. To put it simply, this team is on a roll. They are athletic, high-skilled, and deep. Coach Newton often goes ten to eleven deep in his lineup for production.
Eagles Split Double Header with Middle Georgia

The Eagles started their spring softball season on the road at Middle Georgia with a double-header. Reinhardt split games winning the first one 5-4, but lost the second 16-8. Middle Georgia was coming into this doubleheader with two wins and playing at their home field.
Tough Eighth Inning Takes Toll on Eagles

In game three of the three days series with Southeastern University in Central Florida, the Eagles were looking to putting together a complete game and take one in the series. Thursday's game was one where Reinhardt dominated a majority of the game, but had one bad inning where they gave up five runs and lost their lead.
