Reinhardt's Dr. Roberts Named One of Georgia's 500
Quite often Reinhardt University’s president, Mark A. Roberts, Ph.D., is the one offering words of congratulations to others for their achievements. Now the campus community has the opportunity to offer congratulations to Dr. Roberts. Dr. Roberts was recently named one of the Georgia 500 by Georgia Trend magazine. The list, which is published as an annual magazine, identifies the state’s most influential leaders across 21 industry sectors focusing on economic development and local investment. Dr. Roberts was named in the Education sector. “I am humbled to be recognized in Georgia Trend’s Most Influential Leaders 2022, and I am especially honored to be listed among so many influential leaders who make Georgia a great place to live, learn, work, and play.” Congratulations, Dr. Roberts on this outstanding honor!

Reinhardt University Launches Green Zone Training
For the 2022-23 academic year, Reinhardt University launched Green Zone Training. Green Zone Training provides faculty, staff, and students with an understanding of the military experience of student veterans as they transition from the military to campus life.
According to Walter May, Ph.D., dean of students, last year Reinhardt had 37 students receiving veteran’s benefits, and of those students, 13 were actual veterans. To better support these students, he says, “We began looking at how we serve these students, what resources we can offer them, and what resources are available in the community around us that we can serve them with.”

“Twelfth Night” Opens on Nov. 11
The Reinhardt Theatre Department opens William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” on Nov. 11 in the University Theater. Although many may be familiar with this well-known Shakespearean play, this rendition of “Twelfth Night” presents the story in a new way.
“Twelfth Night,” a Shakespearean comedy, revolves around twins Viola and Sebastian, who have been separated, and each thinks the other is dead. Disguising herself as a boy, Viola goes to work for Orsino and ends up falling in love with him. However, Orsino is in love with Olivia and sends Viola, still disguised as a boy, to woo Olivia on his behalf. Then Olivia falls in love with Viola’s male persona. When Viola’s twin brother shows up, he is mistaken for the disguised Viola, and the whole love triangle unravels.

Support Our Students!
“I decided to get my degree in secondary English education because I enjoy teaching. There’s something about seeing the lightbulb go off in someone else’s head when you help guide them to a goal. I don’t think there’s anything much more rewarding than that. To have the opportunity to do that for the rest of my life is something I can’t pass up.”
Ryan Neill ’24, United States Army veteran, adult learner, first-generation student, student athlete
