The Reinhardt Story Continues... 

This year we celebrate the tenth year of operation for the Falany Performing Arts Center. 

The beautiful building is home to the Eulene Holmes Murray Department of Music, our communication program 

and 30+ professional performances which make up the Concert Artist Series, the Georgia Artist Series and the 

Entertainment Series. In addition, another series of more than 30 performances are offered each year by our 

exceptional student and faculty soloists and ensembles. The Falany Center represents for me the spirit of Reinhardt. 

It was envisioned with hope for the future and has been nurtured by unwavering commitment and dedication. 

What was once a dream is now a reality. That is truly the Reinhardt story. 

Impressive benchmarks have been set. 

As we complete our first year as Reinhardt University, we do so with the largest 

enrollment and the largest graduating class in our history. We will break ground 

this fall for a new residence hall, football stadium and athletic field house, and we 

have already begun recruiting athletes for Reinhardt football. Mark your calendars 

for our first home game in the fall of 2013. 

We offer students an exceptional educational experience. 

The foundation of our educational experience is the long held values of faith 

that have been central to this institution and always will be. We offer students 

challenge and opportunity in a spirit of support and encouragement. No one does 

what we do better than us. 

We are all excited by our University’s vision of the future. 

We have more dreams to make reality. Our exciting future is dependent on the 

good works of our faculty and staff and on the prayerful generosity of everyone 

who supports what we do for our students and our community. 

We need you. We need your support. 

Consider today what you can do for Reinhardt and follow through on that 

commitment throughout this year and in the years to come. 

Thank you for all you do for your Reinhardt University.

School of Arts & Humanities 

We have “a fine cadre of teacher-scholars/artists who give 

their time and talent to mentor students, often one on 

one. Our students are artists and scholar researchers aimed 

toward an exciting future we can only begin to imagine.” 

Dr. A. Wayne Glowka, Dean 

Promoting life-long learning is the main emphasis in the School of Arts & Humanities. 

The faculty provides opportunities for students to develop skills in critical analysis, 

problem solving, verbal and visual communication and the use of technology for 

communication. These skills help students more easily adapt to rapid advances in 

knowledge and technology. 

An important part of the school’s offerings lies in the arts: In studio art and in 

digital art and graphic design, students get a foundation in design theory as they work 

in varied media, from drawing and ceramics to digital image manipulation. 

Communication students explore the theories of their discipline as they try their 

hands at video and audio production. They also explore web design and social media, 

which are increasingly important for businesses and organizations. 

The English program has recently added a creative writing concentration. Students 

develop their talents in poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction and scripts. They give readings 

and can publish their work in Sanctuary, Reinhardt’s literary magazine, which 

includes excellent student writings, artwork and photographs. 

Theatre studies, a new program, includes acting, directing, technical design and 

literary analysis. A 24-hour play festival involving Reinhardt students, high school 

students and professional theatre directors is being planned. To help the burgeoning 

theatre program, a Stage Arts Center is being considered. The projected building 

would seat 150 and provide support space for the theatre program. –AWG & LHT

McCamish School of Business 

“An appreciation of learning and of 

serving others is fostered in the School 

as students are prepared for a diverse 

business world.” 

The McCamish School 

of Business has a longstanding 

reputation 

for preparing students 

with the skills needed to 

successfully join multinational 

corporations, 

Dr. Donald D. Wilson, Jr., Interim Dean 

manage and/or own a 

small business, or pursue advanced degrees right after graduation. The dedicated faculty, 

many of whom were previously in the business world themselves, bring years of corporate 

experience to complement the knowledge, skills, theories and history taught in 

their classes. 

Professional preparation is provided in the classroom, as well as through internships 

and participation in the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) organization. SIFE 

gives students an opportunity to network, build their resumes, participate in competition 

and serve their communities. In April 2011, the SIFE team won first place in their 

regional competition and went on to compete on the national level. 

The School facilitates activities sponsored by the Knox Foundation for Ethics, 

which includes an annual ethics panel of local business leaders and an ethics essay 

contest for students. The Foundation was established by the late Mr. Peter S. Knox, a 

loyal trustee, in support of ethics education in business and other areas at Reinhardt. 

The School has a large population of nontraditional students, many of whom take 

classes at the University’s North Fulton Center in Alpharetta, Ga., and at extended 

sites in Marietta and Cartersville, Ga. In spring 2011, the School graduated its third 

Master of Business Administration cohort; a fourth cohort is nearing completion of 

the program, and a fifth is underway. Growing in interest, the School’s specialized 

programs in organizational management & leadership and public safety management 

& leadership have seen more than 200 students graduate. –LHT

Alexa Huston ’11 

When she entered RU, Alexa Huston 

’11 set her sights on making the 

most of her college experience, and 

she accomplished everything she set 

out to do. 

“I wanted to be successful academically, 

but I also wanted to be 

actively involved on campus,” said 

Huston. “I feel like I achieved those 

goals by being active in SIFE (Students 

in Free Enterprise) and SGA, 

representing Reinhardt as Miss Reinhardt 

University and maintaining 

a 4.0 GPA.” 

She says that her experiences at 

Reinhardt “gave me what I will need 

to be successful in my future career. 

I have not only learned the theories 

of business practices, but I’ve also 

had the opportunity to put these 

theories into practice with handson 

projects and an internship.” 

Three days after graduating, 

Huston was hired by Cherokee 

County Government in procurement 

and risk management after 

successfully completing an internship 

there in spring 2011. –LHT

School of Mathematics and Sciences 

“Individual attention is really a key here. It’s a constant 

that runs through all our programs.”

The programs offered by the School of 

Mathematics and Sciences differ greatly, 

but two constants are individual attention 

and the unique learning opportunities 

the programs offer. 

“In biology, we have students who 

are publishing papers in peer-reviewed 

journals with their professors,” said Dr. 

William J. DeAngelis, dean. “That is a 

really big deal for math and science. In 

psychology and sociology, we try to get 

our students to do research, particularly 

if they are interested in graduate school. 

That’s a one-on-one thing; that’s what we 

specialize in. When we interview faculty, 

one thing we look for is a willingness to 

work with students, to bring them into 

research, and to help students with their 

own research.” 

This student-centered focus is also reflected 

in the design of the new science 

building, for which donors are being 

sought..“Students need space for research, 

and the design reflects this critical 

need,” he said. 


A political science major is new for 

fall 2011, and specific pre-professional 

concentrations like dentistry, medicine 

and pharmacy within the biology program 

were added in recent years. Students 

are no longer marking Reinhardt off their 

lists because we don’t offer programs for 

future doctors, physical therapists, vets or 

researchers, he said. 

DeAngelis hopes to start a science 

advisory board to help raise awareness 

and funds and build job and internship 

relationships. He wants to involve people 

from off campus who can provide a realworld 

perspective. 

“In everything we do, we ask, ‘How 

can we best prepare our students? How 

can we ensure they have the skills they’ll 

need to be successful in their field?’” he 

said. “We’re pushing our students to succeed, 

and they are meeting our expectations.”

Wanted for fall 2011: low brass, male voices for the choir 

and string players for the orchestra. 

Mark Adams ’06 

School of Music 

Dr. Dennis K. McIntire, 

interim dean of the School 

of Music, sounds like a 

head football coach outlining 

his team’s needs. 

With a powerhouse program 

already in place, he’s 

working to “fill the holes 

and build quality.” 

Increasing numbers of music majors are being drawn by Reinhardt’s exceptional 

programs, faculty and facilities. “Word about the quality of what we’re doing has 

gotten out, and the rest of Georgia has become aware,” he said. “This spring we 

graduated 17; that’s how many total music majors we had in the fall of 2003.” 

With 100 undergraduate and 18 graduate students, the faculty’s expectations are 

clear. “Some schools are looking for a diamond that just needs a bit of polish. We 

welcome those, but we can also take a diamond in the rough because we’re strong 

enough teachers. We’re looking for students with a monster drive in the area of music. 

In four years, we know we can shape and polish that ‘stone’ to a high gloss.” 

Being a successful music major takes discipline and self motivation, hours of 

daily practice, rehearsals for multiple ensembles and a dedication to hard work. 

“We want students with a high level of ‘want to’ because without that, they’re not 

going to succeed,” McIntire said. “We ask, ‘How good do you want to be?’ We can 

provide you with all the instruction in the world and great classes, but how good 

you become depends on how much time you are willing to practice.’” 

Reinhardt’s music education program offers extensive hands-on learning. Many 

students are in schools their first semester. They also gain experience through musical 

conventions, workshops, master classes and sessions with renowned composers 

and performers who visit Reinhardt. 

Though no new programs are on the drawing board, McIntire said the idea of 

music theater has been “kicked around because it would marry well” with the vocal 

performance major. Right now he is enjoying recruiting for and shaping a successful 

program. “We’re getting ready to turn our discipline over to these children, and 

we’re kind of picky about who will get it,” he said. — MSW 


Music in Performance 

Music in Sacred Music 

Music Education 

“We’re looking for students with a 

monster drive in the area of music. 

In four years, we know we can 

shape and polish that ‘stone’ to 

a high gloss.” 

Dr. Dennis K. McIntire, Interim Dean 

Master of Music 

(conducting; music education; 

piano pedagogy) 

Roswell High School’s new band director 

learned prioritization and time management 

as a Reinhardt music major and 

student leader. 

He has big shoes to fill, but he knows 

he has mentors to call. Associate Professor 

of Music Dr. David Gregory was 

highly instrumental in Adams’ getting 

his first job. “I graduated in December 

2006, and within a few weeks, I had a 

job. That’s ridiculous. In the middle of 

the school year, to get a full-time teaching 

job, it was unheard of.” 

He credits Dr. Dennis McIntire, 

interim dean of the School of Music, 

with keeping him at Reinhardt. Adams 

thought he would have to transfer after 

his sophomore year because Reinhardt 

didn’t have a music education program, 

“but Dr. McIntire came in and within 

one year, he got the music ed program 

set up, so I have a lot to thank him for.” 

He keeps in close touch with both 

men, and they were at Adams’ first middle 

school band concert. Gregory also 

holds a clinic for Adams’ band each year. 

“He does it, and he won’t let me pay him 

either,” he said with a big grin. “He says, 

‘You were a student of mine. You always 

will be. I’m going to do this.’” 

Adams returned to Reinhardt this 

summer to pursue a Master of Music. 

“I was going somewhere else so I could 

learn from different professors, but I 

realized Reinhardt is a different institution 

than when I was here in 2006. Only 

two faculty that I’ll take classes from in 

my master’s program taught me as an 

undergrad. Plus I know the faculty is 

phenominal... and it costs less [than the 

other school].” 

Adams has clear goals. “The band’s 

slogan is ‘A passion for excellence,’ and 

I’ve seen the excellence, and then I’ve 

seen the passion. For me, I want the passion 

for excellence. I want them to do 

their best and be proud of it... It’s not all 

about winning, but isn’t it a little more 

fun when you do win,” he said, with another 

big grin! — MSW

Price School of Education 

“The teacher education programs of Reinhardt 

fully prepare pre-service educators for working 

with diverse students in a nurturing, caring, 

supportive learning environment.” 

Dr. James L. Curry Jr., Dean 

Threaded through the programs in the 

Price School of Education (PSOE) is 

an emphasis on differentiated instruction 

which prepares Reinhardt education 

majors to embrace a diverse population 

of learners in a nurturing classroom environment...The..PSOE 

faculty presents 

students with the skills to provide quality 

instruction for all unique learning styles 

and multiple intelligences. 

“Built upon the conceptual framework 

of differentiated instruction and assessment, 

the teacher education programs 

at Reinhardt University fully prepare preservice 

educators for working with diverse 

students in a nurturing, caring, supportive 

learning environment,” said Dr. James L. 

Curry Jr., PSOE dean. 

The School offers several undergraduate 

education majors, and students in 

these programs go through three stages of 

instruction: Stage I – initial PSOE admittance; 

Stage II – DATA Block; and Stage 

III – Candidate Teaching. For each stage, 

students must meet proficiencies to advance 

to the next level. 

The stages of dvelopment allow students 

to discover a passion for teaching. 

From Stage I through Stage III, students 

have the opportunity to observe, assist, 

and in Stage III, lead instruction in a local 

public school classroom setting. 

The PSOE recently received initial 

program approval as a Teacher Education 

Unit from the Professional Standards 

Commission. The school also has three 

graduate programs: Master of Arts in 

Teaching, Master of Education in Early 

Childhood Education and Master of Education 

in Special Education, with the latter 

two slated to begin in fall 2012. –LHT

Explore Military History 

at Reinhardt’s Library 

Thanks to two generous donations, the Hill Freeman Library 

and Spruill Learning Center now has one of the region’s 

finest military history collections. 

(top) Don Welsey-Brown named his 

impressive donation, the Triplett Memorial 

Military History Collection, after 

his family. 

(bottom) Reinhardt’s military history 

materials range from the American 

Revolution to today. 

Want to read first-hand memories from 

Civil War veterans? Battle assessments 

from the Eastern Front... in German? Or 

see a movie blockbuster like Saving Private 

Ryan or Dances with Wolves? 

Reinhardt’s Triplett Memorial Military 

History Collection contains all these, and 

much more. Its 5000 books, 300 films, 

artwork, maps and memorabilia span from 

the American Revolution to today. 

The collection began with a large 

gift from Don Wesley-Brown of Bartow 

County. A 101st Airborne veteran and a 

passionate military history buff, he decided 

to give his collection to Reinhardt 

after a chance drive through Waleska. He 

believes his beloved donation has found 

the perfect home. 

Robert and Mary Poe of Ball Ground, 

Ga., expanded the holdings by giving 

almost 1100 books that had belonged to 

her late brother, Frank James Farkus III. 

Farkus fought in WW II in the U.S. Army’s 

160th Engineer Combat Battalion, 

served under Gen. George Patton and 

helped liberate France. 

The collection has not yet been completely 

valued, but Library Director Michael 

Martinez calls it priceless. “I feel 

countries are measured by... episodes contained 

in their past, especially in wartime,” 

he said. “It brings out the best in the population, 

the government, and of course, 

the warriors. [The Triplett Collection] is a 

very rich, vibrant, robust collection... It’s 

priceless in scholarship, priceless in value, 

and priceless in the depth and quality of 

the work.” 

Wesley-Brown continues to bring in 

more materials. “Just set another shelf 

aside for me,” he quipped, “because I’ll be 

coming back with more.” — AMM 

If you are considering making a donation 

to our library, please contact Michael 

Martinez at 770-720-5995 or MMM1@

Echoes 

of Cherokee County 

Reinhardt performed this original drama at 

the Canton Theater in February 2011. 

“It covers gold rushes, school building, 

preaching, Indian removal and oppression, 

and... a truly terrifying speech delivered on 

the eve of the war to the Cherokee Riflemen 

by a women’s sewing guild,” said Assistant 

Professor of English and Theatre Dr. 

Kevin Crawford. 

Reinhardt added a theater major in 

2010, and this play is one of two productions 

the University Theater presented to 

the public this spring. — MSW

Meet Reinhardt’s Grad Students 

A glimpse of the Reinhardt University graduate students reflects a 

determined population with backgrounds and goals as varied as the 

degrees they are pursuing... 

MBA 

Justin Wilson 

Class of 2011 

Justin Wilson began his career with the 

U.S. Army Military Police in 1991. This 

experience led him to the Georgia State 

University police and, in 1997, to Alpharetta 

Public Safety where he is now 

homeland security coordinator, criminal 

intelligence unit commander, records division 

commander and emergency manager 

for the city of Alpharetta. 

After completing a bachelor’s degree 

in organizational leadership from Reinhardt 

in 2007, Wilson decided to pursue 

an MBA. 

While many public safety professionals 

choose advanced degrees in public administration, 

Wilson decided on the MBA at 

Reinhardt: “To truly grow I needed to step 

out of my comfort zone and learn more 

about the business environment. The Reinhardt 

MBA has provided me with the opportunity 

to broaden my knowledge... and 

to learn valuable real-world lessons from 

my classmates and professors.” 

After graduation, Wilson hopes to 

move into senior management and continue 

his career at the municipal or federal 

level. After retiring from law enforcement, 

he would like to start a consulting company 

in the areas of continuity of operations 

planning, physical security and disaster 

preparedness and recovery. — POC 

MM 

Cynthia DeFoor 

Class of 2012 

After 28 years as an independent music 

teacher in Florida and Georgia and an extensive 

background in accompanying and 

collaborative music in both chamber and 

orchestral settings, Cynthia DeFoor decided 

to pursue a Master of Music in Piano 

Pedagogy at Reinhardt. 

“I was attracted to the master’s program 

at Reinhardt because my undergraduate 

degree is a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy, 

“ said DeFoor. “The beautiful Falany 

Hall and the extraordinary faculty I would 

be working with underscored my decision 

to audition.” 

DeFoor was appointed staff accompanist 

at Young Harris College in 1998 and 

adjunct instructor of music in 2000. She 

maintains close ties to her discipline as a 

member of local, state and national music 

teachers’ associations, by teaching students 

in a private piano studio and as organist/choirmaster 

at St. Claire’s Episcopal 

Church in Blairsville, Ga. 

DeFoor’s final project in the master’s 

program is a lecture/piano recital that she 

hopes to continue to perform in the future. 

“I will have more knowledge of piano literature 

and pedagogy for independent and 

higher education applications.” — POC 

MAT 

B. Lynnette McCann 

Class of 2012 

With an undergraduate degree in business 

administration, Lynnette McCann’s career 

has spanned several industries, including 

her current role as an office support manager 

for an engineering firm. Years ago she 

started graduate school, but her plans were 

put on hold due to frequent moves for her 

husband’s job and her children’s needs. 

Volunteering in the classroom peaked 

her interest. “With my children in college 

and no relocation in sight, now is the time 

for me. I looked at numerous programs, 

but I just kept coming back to Reinhardt’s 

MAT. Everything about it appealed to me; 

I could continue working; the tuition was 

affordable; it did not require an education 

undergraduate degree, and I loved the idea 

of being a teacher,” she said. 

“The further I get into the MAT program, 

the more passionate I become about 

teaching and the more confident I am that 

I made the right decision. The professors in 

the Price School of Education are experienced 

teachers, very caring, and really want 

their students to succeed,” she added. 

She is looking forward to graduation in 

April of 2012. “I will be really excited to 

have an elementary classroom of my own,” 

said McCann. — POC

New Students & Alumni Choose Reinhardt for Graduate Study 

New Office of Graduate Studies 

Supports Programmatic Growth 

(Top) Master of Music student Julia 

Barnstead presents a conducting 

assignment. MM students attend full-time 

during the summer but take only one 

evening course for fall and spring terms. 

(Bottom) MBA student Donald Wilson 

discusses IKEA’s marketing strategies 

in a recent class. MBA students attend 

class one night a week in the 19-month 

program. 

Reinhardt is adding graduate programs, 

and new students and returning alumni 

are important parts of the mix. 

“In addition to students new to Reinhardt, 

we’re welcoming back alumni like 

Jessica Burris Akers ’05 MBA ’11 and 

Mark Adams ’06. They know the outstanding 

quality of their undergraduate degree, 

and they trust Reinhardt to also provide a 

high quality graduate degree,” said Associate 

Vice President for Graduate Studies 

Dr. Margaret M. Morlier. “An elementary 

school teacher told me recently that her 

school is encouraging everyone to learn 

differentiated instruction. She was ahead of 

the game because she learned it as an undergraduate 

at Reinhardt.” 

Morlier, an English professor, is spearheading 

the new graduate studies office. 

“We help students transition back into college 

at the graduate level,” she said. “More 

and more students are realizing they need 

to go back to school to update their skills 

or knowledge, or both, and the Graduate 

Studies office is the first point of contact 

for all our graduate programs.” 

Reinhardt’s five graduate programs include 

the Master of Business Administration, 

MBA; the Master of Arts in Teaching 

for Early Childhood Education, MAT; 

the Master of Music in piano pedagogy, 

conducting or music education, MM; the 

Master of Education in Early Childhood 

Education, M.Ed.; and the Master of Education 

in Special Education. The last two 

degrees have been approved by SACS and 

will launch in fall 2012. 

Reinhardt’s program growth is based on 

predictions that the adult student population 

will grow a hundred fold in the next 

decade, and that graduate demand will increase 

45-65 percent, said Margaret “Peg” 

O’Connor, associate vice president for academic 

affairs. Grad students already make 

up 10 percent of Reinhardt’s population. 

Administrators are exploring additional 

graduate opportunities in homeland security 

and public administration to meet hiring 

needs in public safety and health care. 

Future programs may also offer more 

online options to meet the needs of students 

whose locations or schedules cannot 

accommodate face to face instruction, like 

those in the military or in public safety, 

O’Connor said.

MAT Graduates 1st Class 

As the 30 proud MAT grads accepted their diplomas, the cheers from the 

crowd were a bit different. “We love you, Mama! Way to go, Dad!” With 

their families’ support, Reinhardt’s MAT graduates had taken the next step. 

Selected to speak at commencement, Karyn Hunt MAT ’11, said, “We 

had full, busy lives when something in us told us that we wanted more. We 

had the desire to make our lives better for ourselves and our families. We 

wanted to change careers or advance in our current ones... Our perseverance 

and diligence paid off. We are proud of our amazing accomplishments 

and, most importantly, the role models we have become for our families.” 

Nancy Carter, PSOE director of graduate studies/assessment, commended 

the class. “Their maturity and growth, as well as their deep understanding 

of responsive teaching, have validated the purpose of our MAT 

program. They have taught us the true meaning of hard work and dedication... 

We are confident these MAT graduates will make a difference.” 

The program, designed for adult students, includes three semesters (fall/ 

spring) of courses, and one semester (spring) of full-time student teaching. 

Classes are offered at night. –– MSW

Celebrating Our 10th Season 

“If the next 10 years are anything like the last, then the success 

of student musicians, breadth of performing talent and growth 

of patrons and visitors is sure to surpass all expectations!” 

With its marble 

atrium, exquisite 

tunable 

350-seat concert hall, 

classrooms, faculty studios, 

private practice 

rooms, and impressive 

television and radio 

production facilities for 

communications students, 

the Floyd A. and Fay W. Falany 

Performing Arts Center was 

a dream come true 10 years ago for many 

who had spent years planning for such a 

space. On February 16, 2012, the Center 

will celebrate its 10th anniversary. 

In the past 10 years, the stage has seen 

performers from local sensations to awardwinning 

regional and national groups. 

With the vision of the Falany Performing 

Arts Center Advisory Board and local support, 

the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra 

was first brought to the 

Center in 2004. 

“The Symphony musicians 

were so impressed 

by the acoustics in the 

hall, at intermission they 

were asking to perform 

in it again,” said Dr. 

Ricardo Sanchez, FPAC 

director. “They also performed 

here in 2005, 2009, 

and 2010, and they opened the 

2011-’12 season with a concert on 

July 22, 2011!” 

Concerts are presented annually 

by many Georgia groups, including 

the Georgia Festival Chorus, the Atlanta 

Mandolin Orchestra and the 

U.S. Army Ground Forces Symphonic 

Band. On the global level, performers 

have included young violinist Mayuko 

Kamio, winner of the Gold Medal at 

the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow; 

Phylicia Rashad, Emmy awardwinning 

actress and singer; 

Celtic Crossroads from 

Ireland, and tribute shows 

to Patsy Cline and Johnny 

Cash. 

Over the years, the Center 

has received grants from 

the Georgia Grassroots Arts 

Program, the Georgia Council 

for the Arts and the New England 

Foundation for the Arts. Its donor base 

has increased from 21 — the Charter members listed 

on a plaque in the C. Ken White Atrium—to 97 

patrons in 2010-’11. 

As concert attendance and patron support have 

increased, even better recognized talent is being 

brought to the Center’s stage. In March 2012, the 

Center will present the Vienna Boys Choir. After 

opening tickets sales to patrons, the event was sold 

out. Sanchez hopes to bring similar talent to the 

Center every year as a special Patron’s event. 

To establish another source of funding, the 

Center will inaugurate and co-sponsor with Northside 

Hosptial-Cherokee an annual New Year’s Eve 

fund raiser this year at the Conference Center at 

The Bluffs in Canton, Ga. 

Since 2002, Reinhardt’s School of Music has 

grown in size and reputation with 100 majors, a 

concert choir, symphony orchestra, wind ensemble, 

jazz ensemble and several chamber groups. The 

concert series, which grew to 18 programs during 

the Center’s first full year of concerts (2003-2004), 

now consists of more than 40 concerts and programs 

each year. 

“If the next 10 years at the 

Center are anything like the 

last,” said Sanchez, “then the 

success of student musicians, 

breadth of performing talent 

and growth of patrons and 

visitors is sure to surpass all 

expectations.” – RDS

Ministerial Golf Tournament 

The Tourney Welcomed 30 More Players and Nine New Churches 

The 18th annual Ministerial Golf Tournament, 

played at Big Canoe in Jasper, Ga., 

on May 24, was an enormous success. 

The Tourney had 30 more players this 

year than last, and welcomed nine churches 

which were new to the tournament. More 

than $25,000 was raised for scholarships 

for students receiving United Methodist 

scholarships and for those pursuing a fulltime 

career in the ministry. 

The foursome of Johnny Conner, Ron 

Flowers, Van Williams and Jay Hodges, 

representing Northside United Methodist 

Church (Atlanta, Ga.), won First Low 

Gross, while the First Low Net award went 

to Phil Schroeder, Jerry Kopydlowski, 

Grady Mosley and E.R. Mitchell, from 

Cascade United Methodist Church (Atlanta, 

Ga.). 

“One of our strongest selling points for 

support of the golf outing is that 100 percent 

of every dollar raised goes directly to 

student scholarships,” said the Rev. Dr. Ron 

Flowers, golf tournament chairman and 

retired pastor. “People know a good cause 

when they see it, and they want to support 

it and make a difference in the lives of these 

outstanding students.” –LHT

Year in Review 

In our first year as a University, we welcomed 

1224 students, the largest enrollment to date. 

Athletics are a vital aspect of this community. 

Reinhardt had 240 scholarship athletes in 16 sports. Our teams were very 

successful with men’s basketball and men’s golf finishing second in the conference 

tournament, and the women’s softball team was season champ (14-0 

conference and 40-11 for season), won the conference championship, ranked 

as high as 14th in the nation, and competed in the national tournament (see 

p. 37). Interest and excitement are also being generated by the addition of 

football, a football field, a field house and a new residence hall. (see p. 36). 

Now Offering 46 Programs 

SACS has approved three new programs: 

Bachelor of Science in Political Science, Master of 

Education in Early Childhood Education and Master 

of Education in Special Education. (see p. 9). 

New Role for Paul Jones 

Faculty offices for the Price School 

of Education were moved to 

Paul Jones Hall. 

CARE (Creating & Rewarding Excellence at Reinhardt) Launched 

The financial aid staff embraced CARE by redefining their performance, setting 

customer service goals and student and family success measurements and additional 

resources. The improvement process will continue with other campus offices. 

Music Program Quality Showcased 

The Reinhardt University Wind Ensemble was one of only two institutions in Georgia 

invited to perform at the Georgia Music Educators Association Annual Conference. Letters 

of appreciation and admiration about their performance have been received from music 

teachers across Georgia.

Honor Roll of Donors 2010–2011 

Your “Yes” Will Make a Difference 

Please help provide Reinhardt’s margin of excellence 

by supporting the Annual Fund... And by saying “yes!” 

Shortly you’ll receive a request to give to 

Reinhardt’s Annual Fund Campaign. AFC 

gifts provide about five percent of our annual 

budget, and gifts of cash, stock and 

mutual funds provide that extra boost that 

makes the Reinhardt experience so unique 

and life-changing. When you are asked, I 

hope you’ll say “yes”... and then go one step 

further. Here are three ways you can say 

“yes” that will complement your AFC gift: 

Yes - I’ll refer a student! 

If you know someone who would 

benefit from the unique educational 

experience that is Reinhardt, tell him 

or her about us. Encourage him/her to 

attend an admissions preview day or 

tour the campus. Or send the student’s 

name and contact information to the 

admissions office. We’ll take it from there. 

Yes - I’ll attend an event. Choose 

from scores of happenings, from Falany 

Performing Arts Center performances 

and Funk Heritage Center programs, 

to athletic events and alumni 

gatherings, like Homecoming. See 

reinhardt.edu for specifics. 

Yes - I’ll make Reinhardt a 

beneficiary of my estate plan. 

See the article below. 

Thank you for what you have done and will 

do, and thanks for saying, “Yes.” — BRB

Help Yourself & 

Reinhardt University 

Through Planned Giving 

Learn now prudent planning 

can assist Reinhardt students and 

boost your current income. 

Planned Giving involves strategically handling 

your financial matters so gifts to charitable 

organizations are tax advantaged. The 

current U.S. Tax Code is written to reward 

such behaviors, and Director of Development 

Bruce Bynum will gladly work with 

you as you make these important decisions. 

Several of the most popular planned giving 

vehicles include: 

your will, 

charitable gift annuities, and 

charitable remainder trusts. 

Depending on your personal circumstances, 

one or more of these may help 

achieve your goals. These vehicles can be 

designed to help you now or through your 

estate plan. The best way to know what 

to give, when to give, and how to give is 

through well researched planning. The 

results can be beyond what you thought 

possible. They can be crafted to help you, 

a surviving spouse, children, other family 

members and/or your heirs. 

Effective planned giving vehicles are 

designed to benefit both the donor and 

Reinhardt. One recent example involves a 

Reinhardt friend I’ll call Pat. She had a sizeable 

asset that had a great deal of long-term 

capital gain in it and generated 0-2% income 

annually. Pat needed the income and 

would welcome a bit more, but she wanted 

to eventually help Reinhardt students. 

We met to explore asset reallocation, 

and I learned Pat wanted to avoid the sizable 

capital gains tax that would be due on 

the asset’s sale. By working closely, we were 

able to design a special agreement that eliminated 

the capital gains tax due upon the sale 

of the asset, increased her current income to 

5%, gave her a sizable current income tax 

charitable deduction, reduced her possible 

future estate taxes, and eventually will leave 

an impressive gift for the University. Pat was 

more than pleased with the arrangement. 

To explore a planned giving agreement 

that will meet your goals and needs and 

assist Reinhardt University, please contact 

Bruce Bynum at 770-720-5505 or BRB@ 

reinhardt.edu. — BRB

Ann Bailey MBA ’10 

“People who want to start a business need to go 

through the Reinhardt MBA Program - in 18 months 

you are immersed in every aspect of how to run your 

own business.” 

It doesn’t take long in talking with Ann Bailey to realize that she was destined 

to be an artist. Her mother is a watercolor artist, her father is a woodworker and 

furniture builder, and her husband is a photographer who also produces handmade 

books and woodblock prints. 

Bailey has an extraordinary talent for calligraphy, but she doesn’t just write fancy 

words. She starts with unique papers she has been given or collected from all over 

the world and creates a mat based on a certain look or color theme. Next she chooses 

words or phrases from one of the many books she has read or collected in her home 

library. The end result is a beautiful work of inspirational art. 

A project manager for Wallace, a training tax credit company, Bailey was a member 

of Reinhardt’s second MBA class. She is working on her doctorate with Regent 

University and one day hopes to teach on the university level. 

MBA students at Reinhardt base their assignments on a fictitious or real business 

they are interested in, and Bailey based her assignments on an art gallery she planned 

to open. She created a business plan that required no lease (the gallery is in the lower 

level of their home) and no paid employees (she and her husband work there after 

their full-time jobs). 

On May 1, 2010, the same day Ann received her MBA, she invited her classmates 

and MBA professors to the official opening of “Ann Art Gallery”. As they walked in, 

they said, “This is real; you really were basing your plan on a real business!” 

So if you are traveling near Canton between 2 and 6 p.m. on a Sunday, set your 

GPS to 1643 Upper Burris Road and take a short detour to check out Ann’s beautiful 

calligraphy art. Or make an appointment. It’s well worth the trip! — JWM

Getting Ahead in the 1st Season 

4-7 Overall Record for 2011; player recruitment continues. 

Emily Collins, (left), a sophomore from Snellville, 

Ga., is a team leader. The first women’s lacrosse 

player to sign with Reinhardt, she had an 

exceptional season and was a First Team All- 

National Women’s Lacrosse League selection. 

With head coach Alyson Whitley, Reinhardt 

concluded its first season of intercollegiate 

competition in women’s lacrosse 

with a 4-7 overall record in 2011. 

In the first women’s lacrosse game in 

the University’s history, the Lady Eagles 

recorded a decisive 17-4 win at home over 

Davenport University on Feb. 20. After 

defeating Robert Morris University from 

Illinois by the score of 20-3 in a National 

Women’s Lacrosse League contest on 

March 6, Reinhardt stood at 3-2 on the 

year. Injuries and the lack of depth, however, 

led to the Lady Eagles losing five of 

their last six games. 

Reinhardt was led by freshman Emily 

Collins, a midfielder from Snellville, 

Ga. Collins, a First Team All-NWLL performer, 

paced the team in goals (49), assists 

(nine), points (58), shots (88), ground balls 

(77) and draw controls (23). 

Freshman Ashley Gongas was a second 

team all-league selection. Earning spots on 

the NWLL honorable mention list were senior 

Jaybriel Guyton, and freshmen Ashley 

Davis, Ciara Hilburn and Anna Solomon. 

Whitley is busy recruiting players for 

the 2012 campaign, which starts in February. 

She hopes to increase the number of 

players and is planning for an even more 

successful second year. – SPR

RU Football Kicks Off 

The Reinhardt Board of Trustees approved 

the addition of football on March 18, 

2011. Bill Popp, director of athletics (from 

left); William G. Hasty, Jr. ’67, Trustee 

chair; and Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood, president, 

helped announce the decision. 

With a 20,000 square foot field house planned, more than 100 

football recruits expected in the next two years, and Coach Dr. 

Danny Cronic at the helm, RU Football is headed to the gridiron in 

September 2013.

On March 18, the Reinhardt Board of 

Trustees voted to approve football as an intercollegiate 

sport at the University. Football 

became the 17th sports program in 

which Reinhardt offers scholarships. 

“The decision by the Board of Trustees 

to bring intercollegiate football to Reinhardt 

is a challenging and exciting adventure,” 

President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood 

said. “We will begin recruiting football 

student-athletes, and we will have our first 

game in September 2013. Saturday afternoons 

will never be the same in Waleska!” 

After the initial decision was made, the 

next step was to hire a head football coach 

to lead the program. A search committee 

of students, faculty and staff carefully reviewed 

a number of applications before Dr. 

Danny Cronic was named as the Eagles’ 

first head football coach on May 19. 

Cronic, who officially began his new 

position at Reinhardt on July 1, is a member 

of the Coweta County and Cherokee 

County Halls of Fame. He brings 36 years 

of football coaching experience, including 

30 as a head coach, to the University’s 

brand new program. 

“I feel honored… it’s like a dream come 

true,” Cronic said. “I feel like there’s some 

spiritual involvement. I love to put together 

a team. I enjoy mentoring young men, 

especially those who have the same belief 

system that I do.” 

As a high school head coach, Cronic 

put together a record of 223-113. He 

comes to Reinhardt from The Heritage 

School in Newnan after a long and successful 

stint as the head coach at East Coweta 

High School. In 18 seasons at East Coweta, 

Cronic posted a 148-60 record with 

16 state playoff berths. He also served as 

the head coach at Forsyth County High 

School, LaGrange High School and nearby 

Cherokee High School. 

Cronic has collegiate coaching experience 

as an assistant at West Georgia College 

(now the University of West Georgia) 

and Middle Tennessee State University. He 

was a walk-on player at The University of 

Georgia with head coach Vince Dooley’s 

first team and went on to earn his bachelor’s, 

master’s and specialist degrees in education. 

He received a doctorate in physical 

education from Middle Tennessee State. 

Cronic has hit the ground running and 

has hired asssitant coaches Rusty Wright as 

defensive coordinator and Will Heath as 

the receivers’ coach. 

Planning is moving forward on an 

athletic field house of 20,000 square feet 

“I feel honored... it’s like a dream come true. I enjoy 

mentoring young men, especially those who have the 

same belief system I do.” 

Dr. Danny Cronic, head football coach 

that includes offices, locker rooms, a large 

weight room, an athletic training area, 

meeting and storage space, public restrooms 

and a concession stand for football, 

men’s and women’s soccer, baseball and 

softball. Ground should be broken on the 

project in early fall, and it will be complete 

by spring 2012. – SPR

The Lady Eagles softball team and coaches 

celebrate their AAC Tournament victory. 

Perfect Play; National Debut 

A perfect 14-0 regular season and 4-0 AAC Tournament Mark led 

the Lady Eagles softball team to their NAIA Championship debut. 

The Reinhardt softball team, under 

fourth-year head coach Glen Crawford, 

enjoyed another banner season in 2011 

by winning both the Appalachian Athletic 

Conference regular season and tournament 

championships. By claiming the AAC tournament 

title, the Lady Eagles earned their 

first berth in the NAIA Softball National 

Championship, which was held at the 

Gulf Shores (Ala.) Sportsplex beginning on 

May 19. 

Reinhardt captured the AAC regular 

season crown by four games for the second 

straight year. The Lady Eagles, in just their 

seventh season of intercollegiate competition, 

went a perfect 14-0 during conference 

regular season play and then rattled off four 

consecutive victories at the AAC Tournament. 

Reinhardt’s 18-game winning 

streak entering the NAIA nationals is a 

school record. 

In 2011, the Lady Eagles established 

several single season school records, including 

highest batting average (.338), most 

triples (20), most home runs (25), best 

slugging percentage (.482), highest on-base 

percentage (.390), most stolen bases (137), 

fewest errors committed (50) and best 

fielding percentage (.965). Reinhardt also 

posted a 40-11 overall mark in 2010 when 

establishing single season school standards 

for most victories and top winning percentage 

(.784). 

Crawford was chosen as the AAC Coach 

of the Year for the second season in a row 

while sophomore pitcher Maddie Monroe 

was again selected as the AAC Pitcher of 

the Year after winning the same honor as 

a freshman. Other All-AAC performers 

included junior catcher Ashley Kennedy, 

senior infielder Cali Lovett, junior utility 

player Nikki Roddy, junior outfielder 

Andrea Thibaudeau and junior infielder 

Haley Williams. Kennedy, Thibaudeau 

and Williams were named to the AAC 

All-Academic Team along with junior 

outfielder Bailey Arnaud, senior catcher/ 

third baseman Morgan Basone, sophomore 

shortstop/outfielder Lindsey Booker, junior 

pitcher Becca Jones and freshman first 

baseman Callie Ann Poole. Arnaud, Jones 

and Thibaudeau also received NAIA-Daktronics 

Scholar-Athlete accolades for having 

cumulative grade-point averages of at 

least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. – SPR
