The Reinhardt Food Pantry Expands with Grant Support
Reinhardt’s Food Pantry will receive an upgrade thanks to a $10,000 On-Campus Insecurities Grant from United Methodist Church (UMC) Global Ministries. “The research is clear that college students without reliable food access earn lower grades and suffer higher levels of stress,” says Walter May, Ph.D., dean of students. “The Food Pantry is one of many University strategies that supports our students and is an important part of the Student Health Center’s outlook on student life - caring for the whole person.”

Meet Josiah Wolff
As education coordinator at the Funk Heritage Center, Josiah Wolff arrived at Reinhardt in March 2022 to “develop and guide volunteers and programs.” With an undergraduate degree in history, Wolff worked with museums and historical societies before assuming his current role. “I really enjoyed working with the public, guiding tours, and leading volunteers. To experience everything I enjoy, I sometimes found myself holding multiple part-time jobs at the same time.”

Reinhardt Hosts Annual Leadership Symposium
The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce Leadership Symposium returned to Reinhardt University and the Falany Performing Arts Center today! Each year, Reinhardt University hosts this event where members of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce and the community spend the day learning from local business leaders and networking. The program featured four inspirational speakers - Amy Dosik, CEO, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta; Malcom "Cooter" Swanson, business owner, athletic coach, and community leader; Ashley Savill, chief development officer, Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation; and Kevin Williams, owner and operator, Chick-fil-A Canton - all offering words of wisdom for work and life.
Dr. Mark A. Roberts, Reinhardt’s President, welcomed Chamber President and CEO, Pam Carnes and all participants to this impactful day that provides opportunities for seasoned leaders to re-energize while supporting emerging leaders in their development and growth. Continuous development and recognition of Cherokee’s innumerable talents - business, government, civic, cultural, faith based, education – are vital to the success of our community.
