Dilek Sabanci: From Reinhardt to Global Impact
Throughout Reinhardt’s history, our learning community has been open to students from around the world. Like many before her and many after, Dilek Sabanci, a citizen of the Republic of Turkey, attended Reinhardt in the mid 1980s. At the time, Reinhardt was a two-year school—Reinhardt College. “Our understanding is that Ms. Sabanci’s family was looking to send her to be educated in the United States,” said Mark A. Roberts, Ph.D., president of Reinhardt University, “and there was a recommendation that she consider a small college outside of Atlanta— Reinhardt.”
