Dr. Carol Williams packs Flint Hall |
|
Tuesday’s Organ Dedication Concert was a magnificent success, and a true gift to Reinhardt University. Guest organist, Carol Williams, Doctor of Music Arts, entertained a packed Flint Hall. Williams' hands and feet danced gracefully across the keys and pedals, demonstrating the full range of Reinhardt’s new organ.
Williams' commanding program, performed on the custom-built R.A. Colby organ -- a generous gift from Dr. Austin Flint and Bea Flint -- was full of professional diversity, elegance and unique registrations. She gave an astounding experience to the classical organ with her special charismatic humor, and heavy classical, theatrical, popular, and jazz organ mastery.
Truly a night to remember!

Hill Freeman Library and Spruill Learning Center
So much more than a campus library, the Hill Freeman Library and Spruill Learning Center is the place to go when seeking friendly expert service and a pleasant space to read, study, or just think. Our beautiful Library serves the Reinhardt community, and -- through a partnership with the Sequoyah Regional Library System – welcomes the public. In addition to thousands of books, the library boasts collections of DVDs, CDs, journals, children’s books, Reinhardt’s historical archives, and online databases. Computers, a printer, and a scanner provide additional resources – with engaged staff who make the difference.
“The library staff is dedicated to helping our students be successful by providing informational services and resources to supplement classroom learning,” says Joel Langford, director of library services. “Excellence in service to students, faculty, staff, and the community is our utmost priority. We are here to welcome and assist all our users – never hesitate to ask for help!”

Cold weather can’t stop the Shamrock Stroll |
|
Over 50 dedicated walkers braved the cold weather last Saturday to participate in the Shamrock Stoll to support the Pickens Scholars Program. Despite the freezing temperature and biting wind, participates came with smiles on their faces and dressed in their St. Patrick’s Day finest. Thanks to space provided by Pendley Creek Brewery, the post-stroll festivities were moved inside. “Thanks to everyone who battled the weather and came out to support our students,” said Dale Morrissey, senior director of community engagement. “Without our participants, sponsors, and volunteers this event would not happen. We have a great Pickens Scholars Committee that really did a great job. Thank you to the City of Jasper, City of Jasper Police Department and the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office for their support and help. It was a great day in downtown Jasper.” |

Support our students!
