Ranetta Cruse – Four Times an Eagle
What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s a question that adults ask children all the time. Answers sometimes include firefighter, doctor, astronaut, and teacher. When Ranetta Cruse ’14, ’15, ’17, ’21 was a child, her answer was police officer. “An uncle of mine was a police officer, and I remember admiring what he did as a child,” says Cruse.

And the award goes to…Dr. Kenneth Wheeler |
Earlier this year, Dr. Kenneth Wheeler, professor of history, published “Modern Cronies: Southern Industrialism from Gold Rush to Convict Labor, 1829-1894.” This book, which illustrates the significant impact of the southern gold rush in the development of the southeastern United States, was the culmination of research and writing over several years. That industrious work was recognized last week with an award for Excellence in Research Using the Holdings of Archives from the Georgia Historical Records Advisory Council (GHRAC).

The rain and cold didn't stop Reinhardt's annual Born to Run 5K in Canton this year! More than 200 community members - including University faculty, staff and students - participated in the event last Saturday. Beyond a great morning for a healthy activity, the Run exemplifies community - a sense of camaraderie and belonging for which Reinhardt is known.
Expertly led by Dale Morrissey, senior director of community engagement, the Run grows each year. "This event raises funds to support scholarships for Cherokee County residents who attend Reinhardt,” Dale shared. “It pleases me to witness the continued support of our sponsors and individuals who show up on a ‘crisp wet morning’ to support our students. Seeing how much fun our own students have throughout the run is worth it all! Thank you to Cherokee County and all who participated by running, walking, or sponsoring the event.” See you next year!
