Campus Life is Gearing Up |
|
Professors are back on campus, classrooms, dorms, and campus activities are getting prepared and most new students attended a summer orientation. Reinhardt University is excited to begin the Fall 2023 semester!
To make ordering required books easy, and to check out all kinds of cool campus apparel, students can visit the website https://reinhardt.ecampus.com/. Books that are no longer needed can be sold on the same website.
Whether you are returning to campus or joining the Reinhardt community for the first time, Dean of Students, Dr. Walter May, expresses these words of encouragement, “We share your excitement for a semester filled with promise. Your peers, faculty, staff, and administration are here to offer you their advice and support. We are committed to helping you make the most of your college experiences in and out of the classroom. Best wishes for an extraordinary Reinhardt experience.” Dr. May and his student affairs team are located in the Hasty Student Life Center.

Academic Structure for the New School Year |
|
This school year, four deans will head the academic departments. Dr. Joe Mullins will oversee the McCamish School of Business and Professions as well as all online degree programs. Dr. Fred Tarrant heads the renamed School of the Arts, which includes Communication and Media Studies, Theatre, Music, and Art. Dr. Ken Wheeler now oversees the Price School of Education, and the College of Humanities, Sciences and Technology. Dr. Linda Morgan continues to lead the Cauble School of Nursing and Health Sciences in Jasper.
"As students return to campus, they will see lots of changes," explained Provost Dr. John Miles, "One important change is the organization of Academic Affairs. We believe the changes we have made align our structure with the ability to solve the biggest problems we face today through collaboration and interdisciplinary study."

A premier honor ensemble of high school musicians is coming to Waleska. The North Georgia Youth Wind Symphony (NGYWS) will hold auditions on Saturday, August 12 for its inaugural season, and all musically talented 9th-12th grade students are encouraged to audition. Rehearsals and performances will be on Sunday afternoons at the Falany Performing Arts Center, including a combined concert with the Atlanta Wind Symphony.
The NGYWS will provide a positive musical and social experience in a welcoming environment for advanced woodwind, brass, harp, string bass, and percussion instrumentalists. This concert band will be co-conducted by Dr. Kerry Bryant and Dennis Naughton, faculty in the School of Performing Arts.
Dr. Bryant says Naughton pitched the idea and they agreed there is a demand by young musicians in northwest Georgia to have an opportunity like this to enhance their talents. Dr. Bryant explained, “We are offering a year-long enhanced musical opportunity that young, highly accomplished musicians might not get every day in their home band.” They hope for 50-60 members this year.

Reinhardt is proud of every student, current and former, and each of their unique stories. Randy Gravley began his higher education at Reinhardt College, receiving an Associate Degree in Education in 1995. He now serves Cherokee County and northern Georgia as President and CEO of Tri-State Communications and Enjoy Magazine, Inc.
Having grown up in the Sutallee community in Cherokee County, Gravley commuted to Reinhardt for two years. He says the college “had an incredible impact on my life both professionally and personally. It prepared me for the professional world in the business I’m in. What I remember most fondly are the professors. They were kind and really cared about your success. They made sure you achieved your education goals and graduated. You weren’t just a number or just a student to them. To this day, that is what is most special to me about Reinhardt.”
