Reinhardt has extra excitement this fall! Fall 2010 classes began with more students than ever before, 1229 to be exact!

822 are traditional students taking courses in Waleska with 475 living on campus, 133 receiving music

scholarships, 230 receiving athletic scholarships and 340 receiving academic scholarships. This record-

setting student body also includes 407 nontraditional students at outreach programs for working

adults in Alpharetta, Cartersville, Marietta and Epworth. Another 119 are graduate

students studying business, education, or music; 130 are in the WAIT program (our evening baccalaureate

degree in early childhood education); and we will train more than 100 students in our police academy in

Alpharetta during the 2010-11 academic year.

Now a comprehensive universityThe small college you cherish has developed into a comprehensive university vital to the educational stability of not only our region, but the state of Georgia. We now have more than 40 undergraduate degree programs, 3 master degree programs, and more to come. Your Reinhardt has taken its rightful place as an educational leader in the state of Georgia.

New complexity, same spiritWith all this change, with all this complexity, if you came back to our campus, I know you’d find the spirit very familiar and you’d feel right at home. During this exciting and wonderful transformation, we have worked very hard to maintain our core values. We still build positive relationships and provide a healthy mixture of both challenge and support. We simply and honestly care about each other. We believe we are creating such a positive living environment that our graduates will take the ideals of love for each other, integrity, and personal and social responsibility with them into the future. Reinhardt has always been a special place and remains so today. We need you!There are young people today who need to be with us to share in the life-changing experience of Reinhardt University. Too many of them are not here because they can’t afford to be. We give all we can as a university without damaging our instruction. You are the answer. Every gift to our scholarship efforts, no matter how large or small, brings the Reinhardt experience closer for one more student. Do what you can today. It isn’t just about their future; it’s about your future. And, for all of us, it’s about the debt we owe this wonderful place and what Reinhardt means to us.

Reinhardt University’s recent name change is hot news, and students, faculty, staff, alumni and commu-

nity members marked this special time in the institution’s history by celebrating with a special event.

“Reinhardt University is Hot News” on August 28, 2010, welcomed some “hot” ac-tivities to commemorate the occasion, in-cluding a hot rod cruise-in, a hot dog din-ner, a hot chili cook-off and more!

“Although the official name change was on June 1, 2010, we waited to plan a celebration for everyone, faculty, staff and alumni included, when students would be back. Students are the heart of the Univer-sity. We wanted them to join the celebra-tion and join in on our excitement!” said JoEllen Wilson ’61, vice president for insti-tutional advancement and external affairs.

The “hot” day began with the Lady Eagles soccer team as they opened their fall season. They tied 1-1 in the match against rival team Trevecca Nazarene University.

Attendees got an up-close view of some beautiful vintage automobiles during the Hot Rod Cruise-In hosted by local car enthusiasts. The Waleska Farmer’s Mar-ket, which featured area gardeners and craftsmen, gave patrons a chance to sample local fruits and vegetables and cool off with fresh desserts.

Reinhardt’s famous Faculty & Staff Hootenanny Band performed a selection of songs that got the crowd hootin’ and hol-lerin’. After the exciting performance, Pres-ident Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood addressed the crowd, and then, with local dignitaries, dedicated Reinhardt’s new name with an honorary ribbon cutting.

The Hot Chili Cook-Off brought tasty entries with the winning chili prize going to a local firefighter.

Everyone finished this special “hot” day with a delicious Hot Dog Dinner under the big tents. It was a fun time of community and fellowship! —LHT

stSome Reinhardt University Firsts...

Though Reinhardt’s adult programs have grown steadily over the past two years, the increases in graduate and undergraduate enrollment for fall 2010 were dramatic, said Margaret “Peg” O’Connor, associate vice president for academic affairs.

“The growth in Reinhardt’s adult pro-gramming is a direct response to the de-mand for these degrees in the marketplace and the exciting career opportunities they provide,” she said. “Also, the Herculean ef-forts of Adult Admissions Counselor Ray Schumacher produced real results. In addi-tion, our staff in the North Fulton Center, the Registrar’s Office and the Financial Aid Office worked together to make it easier for adult students to enroll.”

O’Connor sees the growing demand from adult students as an opportunity that University planners can address with dis-tinctive, targeted programs. Recent statis-tics from government agencies, the private sector and print resources report that the number of adult learners is expected to double within the next decade, and Rein-hardt needs the right program mix to meet that growth, she said.

Popular Degree Completion Programs for Adults

Enrollment in the undergraduate edu-cation and business programs has also sky-rocketed. The WAIT program (Working Adults into Teaching), an early childhood education degree and teaching certification program for working adults, has 130 stu-dents on the Waleska campus and at the Cartersville and Epworth sites.

Degree-completion programs in Or-ganizational Management and Leadership and Public Safety Management and Lead-ership have also enrolled more than 90 students at the North Fulton Center and Cartersville and Marietta sites.

Three Graduate Offerings... with more to come

Reinhardt now offers three graduate programs: a Master of Arts in Teaching in Early Childhood Education, MAT; a Mas-ter of Business Administration, MBA; and a Master of Music, MM.

The MAT has welcomed 80 students since its introduction in fall 2009. With more than 25 new students, the MBA has its largest class to date this fall, and another cohort is anticipated for spring 2011. The MM now has 11 students.

O’Connor also sees more demand for graduate degrees. The National Center for Educational Statistics found that master’s degrees increased 45 percent in the last decade. Business and education showed more than a 50 percent increase, secu-rity and protective services showed a 188 percent increase and healthcare increased 9 percent.

Meeting this demand, as well as re-quests from alumni, has prompted Rein-hardt to add an M.Ed., a Master in Edu-cation in early childhood education for certified teachers with undergraduate edu-cation degrees. The 24-month program has been approved by SACS and will start in August 2011.

Also being considered for development are a Master in Public Administration and a Master in Homeland Security. The home-land security program will address the needs of homeland security professionals, namely first responders, especially those in mid-management and decision-making positions. The call for graduate education in homeland security has grown dramati-cally, and the Department of Homeland Security expects to fill more than 500,000 mid- to upper-level management positions by 2015. — POC

Nontraditional StudentNumbers on the RiseGraduate students make up one tenth of Reinhardt’s population, an 84 percent increase since the addition of the first master’s program in 2007.

Jessica Johnson ’11Jonathan Rivers ‘03

Biology Takes RootHealthcare, Cancer, CSI, Ecology, the BP Oil Spill These factors are attracting talented students, but increasing numbers are creating needs for facilities, equipment and professional development.

Reinhardt’s 2010–2015 Strategic Plan outlines the need to raise $4 million to con-struct and furnish a building adjacent to the Samuel C. Dobbs Science Building. Uni-versity trustees plan to build the new facility without incurring debt. “We are looking for donors for this exciting new facility,” said JoEllen Wilson ’61, vice president for institutional advancement and external affairs. After funding is secured and plans are finalized, the project will take about a year to build.

Funding needed for Biology Building

A top priority is a Science Center to address the increased interest in biology, chemistry and physics.

Seven science-related majors:Bachelor of Science in Biology: general biology pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy pre-veterinary pre-physical therapy pre-field biologyBachelor of Science in Biology Education Pre-nursing (associate degree)

“There was nothing extra I needed. The biology degree prepared me.” — Jonathan Rivers ‘03

Science Degree Paves the WayCareers for biology majors range from pharmacy, dental & medical school to research, field work or even law school.

“I love science.” — Jessica Johnson ‘11

Canton, Ga., native Jessica Johnson ’11 has known since 5th grade that she wanted to be a dentist. What she didn’t know was that she would spend her first four years in school at Reinhardt. She thought she would start at Reinhardt and then transfer to a bigger school. Reinhardt had given her $1000 more in scholarships than her other top choice, and that little push swayed her to the college next door.

As a commuter, she enjoyed Reinhardt and began to get involved. “All my friends lived on campus, and I was always up here, so I decided to move on campus,” she said. “And I love it — the small class sizes, the campus, and how it’s like a small, close-knit family,” she said.

With dental school prerequisites to meet, she picked biology as her major. She enjoys the personal attention offered by Reinhardt’s biology program. “In [or-ganic chemistry] lab we each did our own experiment. We all got to work with the chemicals. It’s really hands-on, and they try to give you real-life experience with what you’re studying.”

Johnson describes the biology profes-sors as very supportive. “They’re there for you,” she said. “They’re willing to open the lab for an extra hour if you need to redo something or didn’t finish. They’ll also help you get an internship or someone to job shadow. They would do that in a heart beat. They are very different in how they teach, but they are all very good at what they do.”

This spring she will job shadow a Re-inhardt alumnus in Canton, dentist Dr. S. “Matt” Phelps ’92. “I hope to learn more about what being a dentist entails,” she said. “I want to gain more knowledge and experience about the dentistry field.”

After graduation, she plans to spend the summer preparing for the dental school admissions test. Her top choice for dental school is the Medical College of Georgia.

“My grades are fine,” she said with a big smile, “but I’ll need to focus on taking the test.” — MSW

Jessica Johnson ’11Jonathan Rivers ‘03

While pausing to give a flu shot or greeting a customer at the Towne Lake Kroger in Woodstock, Ga., pharmacist Jonathan Rivers ’03 is all smiles. “You see pretty much the same people month to month. Some come in every week. A group of fellows who drink coffee at Star-bucks say ‘Hey’ every day. It’s a good com-munity. I like it here a lot.”

That’s good to hear from Rivers, who almost left biology. Early on he switched his major to business, but he missed the science. “You got to see why things work the way they do on the biology side and how the world works on the business side. I ended up being a double major.”

As a junior, he decided to become a pharmacist. His classes met all the prereq-uisites, and he did well on the pharmacy college admissions test. “There was noth-ing extra I needed. The biology degree pre-pared me.”

He graduated from Mercer University’s College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Atlanta in 2007. “It was more of a work-place experience,” he said. “It was big. You had 130 people in a class, while at Reinhardt

you might have 30 in a big class.”The contrast helped him realize why

Reinhardt was so special. “It was the close-ness. Hanging out watching TV all Sat-urday in the Varsity Room.” Now living in Canton with his new bride, Erica, he still plays softball on summer Wednesdays with 12 to 15 Reinhardt friends.

As the biology program grows, he hopes the hands-on emphasis will remain.

“I liked the lab, whether building cultures in petri dishes or picking leaves outside - doing something hands-on was better than lectures and notes.”

He picked Dr. Eddie Robertson “Dr. Rob” as his favorite biology professor.

“Going on hikes, on the trail, to the creek or the lake — Dr. Rob did the most. He might play James Taylor during a test, but he taught you what you needed to know.”

He describes Reinhardt’s biology pro-gram as “preparation for anything. I have a friend who works in a micro lab. Another is a park ranger. Two who went to dental school. You can do anything you want with this degree.” — MSW

What’s your major? At Reinhardt, more students than ever are choosing biology or one of seven science-related programs. Several of Reinhardt’s biology faculty – Dr. Zach Felix, Dr. Eddie Robertson, Dr. Irma Santoro, and Dr. Danielle Satre — recently explained the program’s growth, distinctive features and needs for the future.

Why the Growth?Santoro sees the increasing awareness

of health issues as spurring student inter-est. “You can’t turn on the radio or a news program without hearing about new find-ings or a new drug. Also the prevalence of cancer. That’s huge. ”

Robertson lists more factors: “popular TV shows like CSI, disasters like the BP oil spill, ecology, the green movement, sus-tainability, the change in population and the ‘boomers’ going into eldercare. Also the nurse practitioner who’s providing primary care.” All these factors are drawing students to the sciences.

These students are choosing from pro-grams or concentrations, each fine-tuned to provide the foundational coursework and skills required by their intended career field. Future doctors, dentists and pharmacists have an concentration engineered just for them, and they aren’t alone. “If you are go-ing to do physical therapy, you need more physics and human anatomy and physiol- ogy,” said Robertson, so the pre-physical

therapy program reflects that preference. “If you are going to be a pharmacist or a dentist, you need to have microeconomics. Our programs give students flexibility, but they also address specific career needs and get our graduates ready for the next step.”

Trusting Relationships, Small Classes & Research Opportunities

Students interested in science are also drawn to Reinhardt by the supportive rela-tionships they can form with faculty. In a program that is typically about 60 percent commuters, students “can get a quality sci-ence experience without getting lost in a large university,” Robertson said. “We get students with talent who value and flour-ish with a caring, family-type relationship. We’re building the scientific knowledge, but it’s also about relationships. It’s the ex-pertise of our faculty, the depth of passion and the example of balanced lives – the value-entered lives – we offer. It’s not only the science; it’s the other half, too.”

Felix also enjoys helping students re-alize their potential. “We take students… and elevate them to a really high level,” he said. “We take students who don’t know they’re excellent, and we open their eyes to the possibilities.”

Living HistoryElree Bridges Worley ’48

Writes About Her Childhood During the Depression

Reinhardt alumna Elree Worley’s tales from her childhood during the Depression, “We Made It” and “Rounding the Corners,” have been compiled into one volume and re-re-leased by Yawn’s Publishing in Canton, Ga.

The first book, “We Made It,” was published in the early 1990s and contains more than 40 stories from her youth. She wrote the second book a few years later af-ter readers asked for more tales.

“People said, ‘You didn’t write anything about so and so’ and ‘You didn’t mention so and so,’” she said.

Worley, now 86, would recount her childhood stories to her granddaughter, which eventually led to her decision to write the episodes down.

“I could write better than I could talk,” she said, adding she has known she could be a writer since attending Rein-hardt for two years in the late 1940s. A teacher there would read her work aloud to the class, she said.

“If she liked it, maybe I could hatch up some stories,” she said.

The book’s stories are about the “trials and tribulations” of everyday life during that era.

Worley was one of 12 children. Her fa-ther owned a country store, and the family raised cotton in a tiny community called Enterprise.

Stories include “Saving the Chew-ing Gum,” where she recalls the luxury of chewing gum and how children would take gum out of their mouths only for meals. Gum would stay in a child’s mouth un-less it dropped out somehow and got “too much dirt to be cleaned off.”

She also writes about milking cows, going to square dances and homespun fun and games. “Our parents couldn’t af-ford to buy us toys,” she said. “Children created their own games, such as collect-ing rocks from the yard to play jack stones, using string to form different shapes with

our hands and spinning a button on a piece of thread.”

“We would play it for hours,” said Wor-ley. “Mother would get us to play it because it was quiet.”

During the depression, she explained that children were not aware of the eco-nomic conditions. “Everyone was just alike. Everybody had the same nothing. We made it just as good as anybody else.”

Worley, who is widowed, has three children and two grandchildren, and she is excited to see the stories reprinted so more people in the community can share in them.

“It is history,” she said. “True, everyday, living history.” –article by Ashley Fuller ’01 for the Feb. 26, 2010, issue of The Cherokee Tribune

Left: Lee Lamb (left) and Taylor Barnes consult their notes as they work on a dis-section project.

Below: Dr. Irma Santoro (left) enjoys con-tinuing to teach students in actual labs. “At other places, instruction is moving more and more to computers. You don’t often see wet labs any more. You see schools doing genetic experiments on computers on virtual fruit flies. They sit in front of their own computer screens, by themselves, not working together. That’s not modeling how real science is done.”

Satre said small classes help students bond. “They are more active with study groups and more apt to talk outside class,” she said. Working together successfully is critical in science, said Santoro. “Especially in research, you need to be collaborative,” she said. “You don’t do anything alone.”

Students are also doing research. This October, students studied the deciduous forest that borders Lake Huron. Another group went to Kentucky to collect sala-mander samples. “If someone wants to go to med school, we can give them an ad-vantage by spending time... with a research project and helping them develop their critical thinking, writing and presentation skills,” Felix said. “Spending time with the students; that’s our edge.”

Students are also getting published. Last year, four students presented at an Associa-tion of Southeastern Biologists conference. Posters are how younger scientists present their work, said Santoro. They create a graphical representation of their research, then scientists and students come by and

ask questions. The abstracts get published, and the posters qualify as their first formal publication.”

Another advantage is Reinhardt’s loca-tion. “Our environment, our campus, be-comes part of class,” said Santoro. “We go look for bugs or down to the lake to get a water sample. That brings it together. If you provide everything, it’s like a child who has no idea where fruit and vegetables come from because they’ve never grown anything from a seed. Here they can put the two to-gether because they can collect the things they’ll be doing the research on. The circle can become complete.”

Growing Program Produces NeedsAs the science programs have grown

and the faculty expertise expanded, more needs have developed. “Our group has been a point of excellence for 20 years, but we... haven’t had the staff or the facilities to support large numbers,” Robertson said. “Now we have the staff, and we’re pushing our physical boundaries in terms of space.”

Reinhardt President Dr. J. Thomas Ish-erwood recognizes these needs. “As we’ve expanded in the sciences, there’s a critical need for more laboratories and more tech-nical equipment,” he said.

The faculty also need the resources to perform research. “These faculty have to do research in order to be qualified for ten-ure, but we don’t have the equipment they need,” Robertson said. “We have the type of professors we want, and we need to sup-port their research... Right now, we can’t.”

A new science center is the top con-struction priority in the 2010 – 2015 Stra-tegic Plan. The University is committed to raising $4 million to construct and fur-nish a building adjacent to the Samuel C. Dobbs Science Building. “We are looking for donors for this much-needed facility,” said JoEllen Wilson ’61, vice president for institutional advancement and external af-fairs. “The growth of this program, and the success of the graduates are exciting, and we want to put the blocks in place to continue its success.” — MSW

Reinhardt Ambassadors: Advocates to the CommunitySpreading the word about Reinhardt’s programs, places and personalities

Reinhardt Ambassadors serve as advocates for the University in their professional and personal circles, and keeping them in-formed is an exciting challenge.

“When we add new programs or make changes, it’s important that we keep them up to date,” said Bruce Bynum, director of development. “If they get a question, we want them to have the correct answer.”

The Ambassadors recently joined with North Fulton community leaders to learn about the programs for working adults of-fered at North Fulton Center in Alpharetta. “To many, this group represents Reinhardt, and we appreciate their willingness to reach out on our behalf in the community,” By-num said.

The Ambassadors also enjoyed meeting MBA students, other Ambassadors and Re-inhardt personnel, and hearing comments from President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood. – BRB

2010 Dave Henritze Scholarship Golf Classic:Two teams were awarded top honors. 1) The Bank of North Georgia team, including Jeff Cox (from left) and Bert Clements, won First Low Net.

Largest Enrollment in HistoryReinhardt welcomed 1124 students for fall semester 2009 and 1069 for spring semester 2010, the largest enrollments to date. Reinhardt had 73 graduate students, 65 Police Academy students, and 123 evening education students. Selected adult programs were offered at new sites in Epworth, Cartersville and Marietta. These new programs and sites help to meet the community’s growing demand for well designed adult and graduate programs.

Year in Review

Exemplary Student WorkThe 2nd Annual Convocation of Artists and Scholars showcased exceptional student work, from music recitals, creative writing, artwork and a theatri-cal production to a student research conference, a student-teacher portfolio exhibit, science exhibits and an award-winning business presentation.

Athletic HighlightsReinhardt changed conferences and is now in the Appalachian Athletic Conference of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Softball and men’s golf won conference championships. Men’s lacrosse had its inaugural season, and women’s lacrosse was an-nounced for launch in 2010-11. Through the generosity of alumnus and longtime trustee C. Kenneth White ’61, lights were added to the baseball and softball fields. —MSW

Now Reinhardt UniversityReinhardt’s new strategic plan, Excellence at Reinhardt — A Strategic Plan 2010 - 2015, was finalized by the faculty, staff and administration and then adopted by the Board of Trustees at the May 2010 meeting. One of the first components implemented was an institutional name change on June 1, 2010.

New Core CurriculumFaculty completed revisions on the set of required courses for all students. Launched in fall 2010, the new general education program offers students more flexibility, addresses personal and social responsibility, focuses on critical reading, and requires fewer semester hours.

SACS & University Senate ApprovalReinhardt received final SACS approval as a graduate institution and is developing master’s programs in education and public safety. After a rigorous study, The United Methodist Church also approved Reinhardt to be listed as an UM-affiliated institution.

AFC Success Despite a challenging economy, Reinhardt netted almost $1.54 million in annual gifts. This total in-cludes $625,000, a portion of the value of a large land donation received in 2009.

Created in 1988, the annual A DAY cam-paign supports Reinhardt’s Cherokee County Grants for local students which al-low eligible students to receive up to $8,000 during their four years at Reinhardt.

Barbara Manous, Reinhardt’s direc-tor of fund raising and church relations, describes A DAY as “a partnership in the greatest sense of the word – Reinhardt and the community working together to ben-efit local students. Plus all A DAY gifts are matched by Reinhardt…dollar for dollar.”

Cherokee County Commission Chair-man Buzz Ahrens is leading the 2010-11

A DAY effort. “Reinhardt is growing at a responsible and rational pace,” Ahrens said. “The University is truly a unique institu-tion of higher learning, so I am glad to of-fer my time in an effort to ensure funding is available for Cherokee students. It is a com-pelling story when we see our local students staying and succeeding in college because they received the A DAY scholarship.”

“The University is dedicated to shaping lives and building futures, and as chair of A DAY, I hope to help make that continue to be a reality for our students,” Ahrens said. — BLM

“A Partnership in the Greatest Sense of the Word”Since 1988, more than $3 million in Cherokee Grants have been awarded to deserving local students.Three levels of annual

grants are available:

$500 for full-time residents of Chero-kee County enrolled as full-time de-gree-seeking students.

$1,000 for students who meet the above criteria and have an academic grade point average of 3.0.

$2,000 for students who meet all of the above criteria and reside on campus.

Annual Fund

The Heart of the Matterby Bruce Bynum, Director of Development

Each year you are asked to share your success with Reinhardt by giving to the annual fund. By making a donation, you provide Reinhardt with the margin of excellence needed to prepare today’s students for tomorrow in the special way that only Reinhardt can. As Reinhardt’s new director of development, I have already heard from many of you. “I love Reinhardt!” “I love the way they took care of me when I was a student there.” “I love the way the campus looks so beautiful.” “I love the new master’s programs Reinhardt now offers: Just what I needed!” “I love the smiles I see on the faces of my friends when we talk about Reinhardt.” “I love the way Reinhardt has grown but remains the same. I want it to continue to grow and nurture future generations of students.” “I want to help. I give to the annual fund.” Please join me in showing your love and support of Reinhardt. You can go online to www.reinhardt.edu/advancement and click “Give Now.” You can remember Reinhardt in your will or trust. You can call me at 770-720-5505. You can contact the Alumni and/or Development Office by mail (it’s okay to include a check if you are so inclined). Share with us your news, what is happening in your life. And you can always stop in. We would love to visit. Want to know more? Call me at 770-720-5505 – BRB

When alumni reflect back to their first ar-rival on campus, many remember riding on highways or interstates; maybe they were with their parents or even in their own cars. Their belongings included matching bed-spreads, desk accessories, mini fridges and these days, laptops and Ipods... but Frances Linn ’29 remembers a very different arrival.

She traveled by buggy from Pine Log, Ga., down a dirt road that is now High-way 140. She and her whole family came to Waleska, then spelled Walesca, in 1920 so she and her sister could attend Reinhardt Academy. At age 10, Frances was eager to start the fourth grade. Her father, Robert Lee Linn Sr., became the College’s farm manager, maintenance manager and later a chauffeur for the college president who did not own a car.

Ms. Linn celebrated her 100th birthday on October 9th of this year, and she is now our oldest living alumna. It’s really no sur-prise that she has lived this long; both her mother and her sister lived to 102!

The Linns have played a big part in the Reinhardt Family. Twenty-five family members have attended Reinhardt, dating all the way back to Ms. Linn’s uncle who graduated in 1893.

Typical college life included studying by Aladdin oil lamp, pumping your own water from a well inside the girls dorm, be-ing warmed by coal heat in the residence hall and being one of the lucky few who got to sit by the steam radiator.

In those days, they enjoyed practical jokes. Ms. Linn recalls a time when some-one snuck a College dairy cow into Win-throp Hall. Maybe it’s a good thing we no longer have dairy cows on campus!

Fun activities included very success-ful debate teams, the Haygoods and the Pierces. A championship debate was held each year, and there wasn’t ever an empty seat. Students also enjoyed three act plays, along with tennis matches and basketball and baseball games played on a dirt court during the day since Reinhardt didn’t have electricity yet.

Ms. Linn kept a very busy schedule as a student. She worked on Hiltonian staff and was editor her senior year. Her classes included English, French, Latin, Bible, his-tory and chemistry. She worked in the li-brary keeping a high school study hall and tutored in Spanish. She was also on the debate council for girls and taught Sun-day School at Waleska UMC. When asked what a favorite Reinhardt memory was, she said, “I would love to relive all of my days at Reinhardt except for two classes — trig-onometry and chemistry.”

Being busy did not keep her from suc-ceeding. She was 1st Honor Salutatorian of the high school and Valedictorian of her college class. She continued her education at LaGrange College for one year and later completed her education at the University of Georgia.

As a lifelong educator, she began her teaching career at age 19 in Pine Log, Ga. She taught at several schools including Tay-lorsville and Adairsville high schools and eventually retired from Fairmount High School after 44 years in the classroom.

Reinhardt continues to be a vital part of Ms. Linn’s life. The grand piano in her front parlor once belonged to Captain Reinhardt, one of Reinhardt’s founders. Ms. Linn’s father purchased the piano from Captain Reinhardt’s niece, Fredonia Blanton.

Ms. Linn embodies the ideal of a life-long learner. She still reads two newspapers, The Daily Tribune and The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, along with five magazine subscriptions. She is true evidence that we are never too old to keep learning. How lucky we are to claim her not just as one of our alums but as our oldest living alum!

Happy 100th Birthday Ms. Linn! — JWM

Most would say that Zach White ’96 has a green thumb; he, however, calls it a navy and gold thumb. White, the University’s horticulturist for more than seven years, has a passion for Reinhardt, and it shows inside and outside in all he does for the University.

“Reinhardt was a special place when I attended as a student and that same spirit is still here today. It’s an honor to work at the place I love with so many great faculty, staff and students, and I am really lucky to be able to work doing my passion in life—horticulture.”

In the last two years, White has dedi-cated himself to restoring the integrity of Reinhardt’s historical Burgess Arbore-tum—established in 1951 by Dr. J. Row-land Burgess, Jr., Reinhardt president from 1944-73. More than 600 trees and shrubs have been identified, mapped and re-la-beled by White, County Extension Agent Paul Pugliese and the Cherokee County Master Gardener volunteers.

“We have trees and shrubs that Dr. Bur-gess brought to our campus from all over the country, from our paperback Maple tree from the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University, to our Scarlet Oak Tree grown from seedling on the capital grounds in At-lanta to our rare American elm tree,” White said. “The information we have discovered indexing these trees has been like discover-ing a treasure chest in our own back yard!”

A new addition to the Arboretum has been the 127 (and growing) Most Noble Trees & Shrubs Plant Walk; a new tree or shrub is added each year in celebration of

the University’s establishment in 1883.

W h i t e ’ s passion for Re-

inhardt has also grown to include

the surrounding city of Waleska. He

wanted to create a bet-ter sense of community be-

tween the City and the University, and that’s when the idea of the Waleska Farmers Market at Reinhardt University came into fruition.

“I am involved with other local farmers markets, and I have experienced what great benefit they are to these communities,” said White. “I wanted to bring that benefit to Waleska and Reinhardt.

“We’ve had so much support from the Reinhardt family to our community neighbors to people from as far away as At-lanta. Having such positive support even helped us to be voted 4th Best Market in Georgia in the America’s Favorite Farmers Market contest!”

White’s hopes for Reinhardt’s “grow-ing” future are to expand the Arboretum by planting more distinct trees and shrubs and to host more farmers markets for the sum-mer and fall 2011 seasons. He also would like to one day bring back Reinhardt’s tra-dition of farming.

“What makes Reinhardt’s campus so beautiful is not just the flowers and plants; it’s the people,” White said. “There is a spirit and friendliness here that I have not found at any other college or institution I have ever been. That’s what makes me love what I do and have such a passion for Rein-hardt.” – LHT.

Growing History & Spirit

Richard Wright ‘94 (above) and Dr. Kenneth Wheeler, associate professor of history, developed a pro-posal to restore the Sutallee Trace, a roadbed created in the beginning of Cherokee County’s existence.

On March 10, 2010, County and Reinhardt officials, including Chero-kee County Commissioner Harry Johnston and Reinhardt President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood, and commu-nity members attended a presentation by Wright and Wheeler on “Cherokee Indians and White Settlers in Early Cherokee County.”

The pair discussed their research and knowledge of the history of the Etowah Valley during the Southern gold rush when white settlers were moving into the area, prior to Chero-kee Removal. They coauthored New Men in the Old South: Joseph E. Brown and his Associates in Georgia’s Etowah Valley, published in the Georgia His-torical Quarterly.

Due to the persuasiveness of Wright and Wheeler’s proposal and lobbying from local Boy Scout leader Dan Owen of Canton, Ga., the Cher-okee County government recently purchased 260 acres of land to link a system of trails with the Sutallee Trace. The next step will be to cut multi-purpose trails, as well as provide kayak and canoe access to the Etowah River. – LHT.

A select group of Reinhardt alumni had a “golden” opportunity at the College’s 2010 commencement ceremony. More than 40 members of the Class of 1960 returned to their alma mater to celebrate their Golden Anniversary. Each was honored and recog-nized during the ceremony, and the group celebrated the occasion before and after the main event.

“Returning to Reinhardt after having graduated 50 years ago gave me the chance to reconnect with friends with whom I have kept in touch and renew friendships with those whom I have lost touch,” said Carolyn Hays, a member of the Golden group. “I have visited the campus several times since graduating and have seen some of the physical changes, but I was amazed at how different, yet still the same, it looks today. Reinhardt will always have a place in our hearts!”

The Reinhardt Office of Alumni hon-ored the Golden alumni with a celebra-tion the night before commencement that

included dinner, a video presen-tation and a golden medallion ceremony. The event was the first time many in the group had seen each other since graduation 50 years before.

“They were a hoot,” said Jenni-fer Wiggins Matthews ‘90, director of alumni. “They were just full of laughter and excitement the whole night. They just had so much to say and so much to catch up on since many hadn’t seen each other in so many years. It was a great time!”

During commencement, the Golden group wore black robes

along with the medallions they received the night before. They were the first group in the commencement processional, and each was recognized during the ceremony.

“It was such an incredible experience,” said Bobby Craven during the brunch held for the group after commencement. “We felt so honored to be a part of this special occasion and to be recognized for our ac-complishments was such a privilege. The whole experience of our reunion at Rein-hardt was first-class all the way.”

After 50 years of much success, the Golden group offered a bit of advice to the Class of 2010. “Cherish your friendships, and make the most of the opportunity that has been given to you at Reinhardt.”

In June 2010, Reinhardt student-athlete Olivia Goodall represented the University and the Appalachian Athletic Conference at the Red Cross/National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Collegiate Leadership Program in Washington, D.C. Goodall, a member of the Reinhardt cross country team and a former cheerleader, was one of just 15 NAIA student-athletes from across the country selected to participate for two weeks of leadership training at the Red Cross National Headquarters.

“It was so much fun and an amazing ex-perience,” said Goodall, a sophomore busi-ness major with a minor in art. “We learned a lot about the Red Cross and what it does. Representatives from the NAIA also came and talked to us about character and having a good attitude whether you’re on or off the field, and that was really informative.”

“We got to go to the White House and Capitol Hill. We saw a lot of important people like (Vice President) Joe Biden and Senator (John) Kerry.”

Now in its fourth year, the Red Cross/NAIA Collegiate Leadership Program continues to inspire, motivate and create a new and diverse generation of Red Cross volunteers and leaders through exemplify-ing the five core values of the NAIA Cham-pions of Character program. These core values are integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership. As part of its support of Red Cross diversity initiatives, State Farm Insurance sponsors this partnership.

Goodall is originally from Boston, Mass., but now resides in Marietta, Ga. – SPR.

In its first academic year as a member of the Appalachian Athletic Conference, Re-inhardt captured a pair of championships and had one team advance to an NAIA Na-tional Championship event. Athletic Director Bill Popp said Rein-hardt was are extremely proud of the two conference championships teams. “We feel like all of our teams work exceptionally hard – and it paid off during our first year in the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC),” he said. “To also receive the com-mendations from the Board of Trustees was icing on the cake. We hope to continue to compete well, not only on our fields and courts, but also to maintain the strong aca-

demic tradition we have created among our student-athletes.”

Under the direction of 2010 AAC Coach of the Year Ken Dixon, the men’s golf squad won the AAC Championship tournament in April, earning the confer-ence’s automatic bid to the national event at the TPC Deere Run course in Silvis, Ill. The Eagles were led by junior Chris Cart-wright, and freshmen Zach Lindsey and Dan Merriman, who each received all-con-ference recognition.

In softball, Reinhardt claimed the AAC regular season title by four games with a 14-2 record, and went on to finish 40-11 overall. Glen Crawford was chosen as the

AAC Coach of the Year after leading his Lady Eagles to single-season school records for wins, shutouts (23), longest winning streak (11 games) and most victories to start a season (seven).

Freshman Maddie Monroe was named the AAC Pitcher of the Year and received all-conference accolades along with senior Sarah Brown, junior Cali Lovett, sopho-mores Kelsey Floyd, Ashley Kennedy and Andrea Thibaudeau, and freshman Lindsey Booker. Senior Alex Riccardi, who gradu-ated from Reinhardt in May, was an NAIA Scholar-Athlete. – SPR

Former Reinhardt baseball player Drew Tyson began his professional career in June after being selected by the Oakland Athlet-ics in the 17th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Ty-son, a 6-foot-5, 195-pound right-handed pitcher, completed his junior season with the Eagles this past spring and became the first player drafted out of the Reinhardt program, which began in 2005.

“Professional ball this summer has been one of the greatest opportunities I’ve had in my life,” Tyson said. “It is a lot of fun, but at the same time this is our job now, and it’s very competitive. When I’m at the field, I just try to have fun and enjoy it for what it is, and compete at my highest level and see where it takes me.”

Tyson started his quest for Major League Baseball with the Vancouver Cana-dians of the Class A short-season Northwest League. After spending some time with the Canadians, he played for and had great

success with the Athletics of the Arizona League, a rookie-ball affiliate of Oakland. At the conclusion of the Arizona League schedule, Tyson was recalled to Vancou-ver, where his club advanced to Northwest League playoffs.

Combining his numbers with the Ca-nadians and the Athletics, Tyson finished his first professional season with 19 appear-ances (all in relief ), a 1-0 record and a 1.25 ERA, striking out 49 batters and walking just seven in 36 innings pitched.

Tyson was a member of the Eagles’ pitching staff the last three years, making 46 appearances with 18 starts. He compiled a 12-6 career record with five saves and 102 strikeouts.

After working out with the Oakland organization for about a month starting in mid-September, Tyson returned home to Woodstock, Ga., in preparation for next season. – SPR

Two Reinhardt teams received national recognition when the National Associa-tion of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced its scholar teams for 2009-10. Reinhardt’s women’s soccer and volleyball programs earned the distinction, and to be honored as an NAIA scholar team, a squad must have at least a 3.0 combined grade-point average on a 4.0 scale.

“These two teams have had a lot of success academically and deserve the rec-ognition they receive from the NAIA,” Reinhardt athletic director Bill Popp said. “All of our teams are striving to meet academic goals, but women’s soccer and volleyball have really been our leaders in the classroom.”

The women’s soccer squad, under head coach Andy Kaplan, was honored as an NAIA scholar team for the fourth straight year after putting together a 3.24 GPA. The Lady Eagles ranked 46th of the 70 programs that earned the recognition with 219 NAIA schools offering women’s soccer as an intercollegiate sport last season.

In volleyball, former head coach Angela Monds’ squad garnered NAIA scholar-team status for the third consecutive year. Rein-hardt posted a 3.14 GPA, finishing 76th in the nation among 90 schools that qualified for scholar-team accolades. A total of 242 NAIA institutions offered volleyball.

The 10-member Appalachian Athletic Conference totalled just eight NAIA schol-ar teams. Only the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, with three, had more than Reinhardt. – SPR.

2009-10 Athletic Eagle Award Winners

Golf Tournament Benefited AthleticsOn Oct. 25, 2010, Reinhardt held its first golf tournament to benefit Intercollegiate Athletics

The Reinhardt women’s volleyball pro-gram is under the direction of a new head coach – Jenny Hayes.

Under Hayes, the Lady Eagles got off to a successful start this fall by winning four straight matches in a tournament at Cumberland University. When the Lady Eagles defeated Wesleyan College in their home opener, they matched the best start in school history at 5-0.

“The season got off to a great start with strong heart and determination from the girls,” Hayes said. “They saw how good they can be when they play together as a team.”

Hayes came to Reinhardt from Southern Union State Community Col-lege where she served as the head volley-ball coach the last three years. Last season, she was named the Alabama Community College Conference (ACCC) Coach of the Year. – SPR

Volleyball Program Under Direction of New Head Coach

As Reinhardt’s newest sport, the women’s lacrosse team will begin spring play on Feb. 19, 2011. Head coach Alyson Whitley said she is using her administrative, coaching and athletic skills to meld “a core group of experienced players and several really good walk-ons” into a successful team.

“I’m really excited about start-ing the first-ever women’s lacrosse team at Reinhardt,” she said. Al-ready the team is coming togeth-er. In a big tournament this fall, they played Clemson hard. “We only lost by one, and for a brand

new team, that’s really impres-sive,” she said.

Reinhardt Athletic Director Bill Popp is encouraging commu-nity members to support the new lacrosse teams. “It’s exciting and fast-paced,” he said. “We hope the Reinhardt Family will cheer on our new teams. They’re start-ing a tradition, and we want you to be a part.”

Schedules will be on Rein-hardtEagles.com later this fall. —SPR

With more than 200 scholarship student-athletes, 15 intercollegiate teams and cheerleading, and a new athletic conference, Reinhardt intercollegiate athletics has more offerings and demands than ever. For that reason, University planners decided to add a fall golf tournament to support athletics. “Intercollegiate athletics play a vital role in life at Reinhardt," said President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood. “Our first event was a success, and we look forward to the tournament growing every year. It’s a great way for those who love athletics to get

involved and make a real difference.” The first athletic tournament was held Oct. 25, 2010, at Callahan Golf Links in Waleska, Ga. Reinhardt staff person Barbara Manous commended tournament chair C. Kenneth White ’61 for his leadership. “Ken was so kind to lead this effort. His enthusiasm for his alma mater is evident in all he does.” For final tournament results and plans for next year, please see reinhardt.edu. —BLM
