Olivia Gunn
Olivia Gunn knew she wanted to teach in a college classroom. After acquiring her bachelor’s degree in English, she embarked on her master’s degree in psychology, but soon found a different path. “I realized that what drew me to study psychology was not enough to make a career out of it. But I did know that I wanted to teach, mentor, and write," says Gunn.

Adulting 101
Students in First Year Seminar (FYS) received some advice today on preparing for life after college. Presented by Shannon Rankins, in what he describes as "Adulting 101," students learned about adult responsibilities. Among the many considerations for success, he stressed the importance of building professional networks, gaining experience while in college, finding a mentor, creating a professional social media presence, managing budgets, and much more!
"Now is an opportune time to think about where you may want to go, here in college and beyond," said Rankins. "As students, I want you to think about your life now, in your freshman year, instead of waiting 60, 90, 180 days before you graduate.” He talked with students about the many opportunities and moments during their college years to consider different career paths, explore interests, and build skills and competencies along the way.
Rankins works as a technology consultant for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. He has a passion for working with young people and volunteers his time mentoring Reinhardt students. Rankins will return to campus in November to share more about networking.

Support our students!
"Opportunities to change a child's life make teaching such a special profession! If I can take my passion for math and translate that into the classroom to help children -- with their education and their future -- then to me there is no better career."
