State of the University Address Launches Reinhardt’s Academic Year
“Reinhardt University operates because of you. If you were not here doing the things that you do - teaching your courses, operating your offices, working with students, collaborating with one another, looking after chestnut trees - we would not be who we are,” said Mark A. Roberts, Ph.D., president of Reinhardt University, at the annual State of the University Address on Monday. “Our identity is you, and you can see here all of these incredible faces that make up the University.”

Althea Hughes, Writer
Althea Hughes always knew she wanted a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). “I have an associate degree in political science from Clayton State College (now University), a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Georgia, and a master’s degree in technical and professional communication from what is now Kennesaw State University,” says Hughes, “but I really wanted my MFA.”

Cauble School of Nursing Receives Grant |

Reinhardt University’s Cauble School of Nursing and Health Sciences was recently awarded a grant from Senator Raphael Warnock’s congressional discretionary spending in the amount of $350,000. With this grant, Reinhardt can increase and strengthen the diversity, education, and training of the North Georgia workforce. Specifically, it will enable Reinhardt to provide culturally aligned quality care in many of Georgia’s rural and underserved areas, and to reinvest in our students through equipment and resources essential for continued operations. |

Cherokee Scholars Committee Ignites Fundraising Activities
The Cherokee Scholars Committee, chaired by Jennifer Stanley, community relations coordinator at Northside Hospital Cherokee, kicked off fundraising efforts at their annual luncheon this week. The program included a song from Reinhardt junior Jared Brooks and remarks from freshman and Cherokee Scholar Libby Reece. “One of the most important aspects of choosing a place to spend my next 4 years was finding somewhere that made me feel ‘at home,’” said Reece. “When I chose Reinhardt, I felt like I mattered. I already feel like I am a part of Reinhardt, even before walking through its doors as a freshman.”
The Cherokee Scholars program provides scholarships to Cherokee County students attending Reinhardt University. The Born to Run 5K on October 29, 2022, is its primary fundraiser.

Support our students!
Because of Reinhardt, I have had many opportunities I would not have thought possible. If I had not received my scholarships, and if I had attended a different school, I would be a completely different person from who I am right now. I am incredibly grateful to Reinhardt for making me who I am today!
