Nursing Students Tour Medical Helicopter
In a unique opportunity last week, several Reinhardt nursing students visited with the Life Flight/Air Methods pilot at Piedmont Cartersville Medical Center. “The students spoke with the pilot while the flight team prepared a patient for transport,” said Alison Mutton, adjunct clinical faculty of Cauble School of Nursing and Health Sciences. “He gave us a tour of the helicopter – called ‘the horse’ by the flight team -- which can travel at 150 miles an hour. It is based near McCullum airport and can travel from their base to Piedmont Cartersville Medical Center in 7 minutes!”

Honoring the Tradition of the
Unity Project
The Unity Project, one of Reinhardt’s greatest and most special traditions since 2017, led the weeks’ activities with First Year Seminar (FYS) Students. Thirty-two poles were placed in a circle near Donor Plaza, each with a unique identifier like ethnicity, economic background, gender identity, and more. Using colored yarn as their thread, participants wrap the yarn around each pole displaying a statement with which they identify. The magnificent result is a web-like canopy that illustrates the uniqueness of each individual while showing their similarities and connectedness to one another.
