With 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.

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.

Nontraditional Student
Numbers on the Rise
Graduate students make up one tenth of Reinhardt’s
population, an 84 percent increase since the addition
of the first master’s program in 2007.
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 programming is a direct response to the demand for these degrees in the marketplace
and the exciting career opportunities they
provide,” she said. “Also, the Herculean efforts of Adult Admissions Counselor Ray
Schumacher produced real results. In addition, 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 distinctive, targeted programs. Recent statistics 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 Reinhardt needs the right program mix to meet
that growth, she said.
Popular Degree Completion
Programs for Adults
Enrollment in the undergraduate education and business programs has also skyrocketed. The WAIT program (Working
Adults into Teaching), an early childhood
education degree and teaching certification
program for working adults, has 130 students on the Waleska campus and at the
Cartersville and Epworth sites.
Degree-completion programs in Organizational Management and Leadership
and Public Safety Management and Leadership 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 Master 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, security and protective services showed a 188
percent increase and healthcare increased
9 percent.
Meeting this demand, as well as requests from alumni, has prompted Reinhardt to add an M.Ed., a Master in Education in early childhood education for
certified teachers with undergraduate education 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 homeland 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 dramatically, and the Department of Homeland
Security expects to fill more than 500,000
mid- to upper-level management positions
by 2015. — POC

Biology Takes Root
“I love science.”
— Jessica Johnson ‘11
Healthcare, 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.
What’s your major?
At Reinhardt, more students than ever are
choosing biology or one of seven sciencerelated 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 interest. “You can’t turn on the radio or a news
program without hearing about new findings 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, sustainability, 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 programs 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 going to do physical therapy, you need more

Funding needed for Biology Building
A top priority is a Science Center to address the
increased interest in biology, chemistry and physics.
Reinhardt’s 2010–2015 Strategic Plan outlines the need to raise $4 million to construct and furnish a building adjacent to the Samuel C. Dobbs Science Building. University 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.

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 relationships they can form with faculty. In a
program that is typically about 60 percent
commuters, students “can get a quality science experience without getting lost in a
large university,” Robertson said. “We get
students with talent who value and flourish with a caring, family-type relationship.
We’re building the scientific knowledge,
but it’s also about relationships. It’s the expertise 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 realize 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.”

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

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, closeknit 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 [organic 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 professors 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 Reinhardt 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

Living History
Elree Bridges Worley ’48
Writes About Her Childhood
During the Depression
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 salamander samples. “If someone wants to go
to med school, we can give them an advantage 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 Association 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 location. “Our environment, our campus, becomes 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 together because they can collect the things
they’ll be doing the research on. The circle
can become complete.”
Growing Program Produces Needs
As 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 Isherwood recognizes these needs. “As we’ve
expanded in the sciences, there’s a critical
need for more laboratories and more technical equipment,” he said.
The faculty also need the resources to
perform research. “These faculty have to
do research in order to be qualified for tenure, but we don’t have the equipment they
need,” Robertson said. “We have the type
of professors we want, and we need to support their research... Right now, we can’t.”
A new science center is the top construction priority in the 2010 – 2015 Strategic Plan. The University is committed
to raising $4 million to construct and furnish 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 affairs. “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

History
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-released 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 after 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 Reinhardt 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 father owned a country store, and the family
raised cotton in a tiny community called
Enterprise.
Stories include “Saving the Chewing 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 unless 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 afford to buy us toys,” she said. “Children
created their own games, such as collecting 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 Worley. “Mother would get us to play it because
it was quiet.”
During the depression, she explained
that children were not aware of the economic 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

chair, and King chaired the group from 2008 - 2010.
Reinhardt Ambassadors serve as advocates
for the University in their professional
and personal circles, and keeping them informed 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 offered 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,” Bynum said.
The Ambassadors also enjoyed meeting
MBA students, other Ambassadors and Reinhardt personnel, and hearing comments
from President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood.
Year in Review
Now Reinhardt University
Reinhardt’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.
Largest Enrollment in History
Reinhardt 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.
New Core Curriculum
Faculty 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.

The Dave Henritze Scholarship Golf
Classic supports student work, which allows students to work on campus and help
finance their education. It also supports
other scholarships for deserving students.
Since this event began in 1989, it has raised
more than $2.23 million for scholarships.
The 2011 event will be held on May 9.
Despite a challenging
economy, Reinhardt netted
almost $1.54 million in

scholarships for United Methodist students
and those pursuing a career in the ministry.
Since this first outing in 1994, almost a half
million has been raised. The 2011 outing
will be held on May 24.
To learn more about these opportunities, please contact Barbara Manous at 770720-5506 or BLM@reinhardt.edu. — BLM
Athletic Highlights
Reinhardt 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 announced 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

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.

“A Partnership in the Greatest Sense of the Word”
Three levels of annual
grants are available:
$500 for full-time residents of Cherokee County enrolled as full-time degree-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.
12
Since 1988, more than $3 million in Cherokee Grants
have been awarded to deserving local students.
Created in 1988, the annual A DAY campaign supports Reinhardt’s Cherokee
County Grants for local students which allow eligible students to receive up to $8,000
during their four years at Reinhardt.
Barbara Manous, Reinhardt’s director 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 benefit local students. Plus all A DAY gifts are
matched by Reinhardt…dollar for dollar.”
Cherokee County Commission Chairman 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 institution of higher learning, so I am glad to offer my time in an effort to ensure funding is
available for Cherokee students. It is a compelling 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.

Growing
History & Spirit
Tracing Back History
Richard Wright ‘94 (above) and
Dr. Kenneth Wheeler, associate
professor of history, developed a proposal 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 Cherokee County Commissioner Harry
Johnston and Reinhardt President Dr.
J. Thomas Isherwood, and community 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 Cherokee Removal. They coauthored New
Men in the Old South: Joseph E. Brown
and his Associates in Georgia’s Etowah
Valley, published in the Georgia Historical Quarterly.
Due to the persuasiveness of
Wright and Wheeler’s proposal and
lobbying from local Boy Scout leader
Dan Owen of Canton, Ga., the Cherokee 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 multipurpose trails, as well as provide kayak
and canoe access to the Etowah River.

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 dedicated himself to restoring the integrity
of Reinhardt’s historical Burgess Arboretum—established in 1951 by Dr. J. Rowland Burgess, Jr., Reinhardt president from
1944-73. More than 600 trees and shrubs
have been identified, mapped and re-labeled by White, County Extension Agent
Paul Pugliese and the Cherokee County
Master Gardener volunteers.
“We have trees and shrubs that Dr. Burgess 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 Atlanta to our rare American elm tree,” White
said. “The information we have discovered
indexing these trees has been like discovering 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 Reinhardt has also
grown to include
the surrounding
city of Waleska. He
wanted to create a better sense of community between 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 Atlanta. 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 “growing” future are to expand the Arboretum by
planting more distinct trees and shrubs and
to host more farmers markets for the summer and fall 2011 seasons. He also would
like to one day bring back Reinhardt’s tradition 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 Reinhardt.” – LHT.
A journey that began on a dirt road in a buggy
Fond Reinhardt memories from
our oldest living alumna
When alumni reflect back to their first arrival 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 bedspreads, 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 Highway 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 surprise 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, being 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 someone snuck a College dairy cow into Winthrop Hall. Maybe it’s a good thing we no
longer have dairy cows on campus!
Fun activities included very successful 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.
(Top) Ms. Linn was valedictorian of her
Reinhardt graduating class.
(Bottom) Frances Linn ’29 owns the grand
piano that once belonged to Captain
Reinhardt, one of Reinhardt’s founders. Her
father bought it from Captain Reinhardt’s
niece, Fredonia Blanton.
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, history and chemistry. She worked in the library keeping a high school study hall and
tutored in Spanish. She was also on the
debate council for girls and taught Sunday 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 — trigonometry and chemistry.”
Being busy did not keep her from succeeding. 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 Taylorsville 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 lifelong 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!

A “Golden” Opportunity
The Class of 1960 Celebrates its Golden Anniversary
at Reinhardt’s 2010 Commencement Ceremony
The Golden Anniversary
attendees (bottom) enjoy

photograph from their
yearbook.

group shot with their
robes and medallions.

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 recognized 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 honored the Golden alumni with a celebration the night before commencement that
included dinner, a video presentation 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 Jennifer 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 accomplishments was such a privilege. The
whole experience of our reunion at Reinhardt 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.”

“Goodall”
Around
Olivia Goodall Represents Reinhardt, AAC at Red Cross/
NAIA Collegiate Leadership Program in Nation’s Capital
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 experience,” said Goodall, a sophomore business 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.”
Drew Tyson ‘11 Begins Professional Baseball Career
After Being Selected by Oakland Athletics
Former Reinhardt baseball player Drew
Tyson began his professional career in June
after being selected by the Oakland Athletics in the 17th round of the 2010 Major
League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Tyson, 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 Canadians of the Class A short-season Northwest
League. After spending some time with the
Canadians, he played for and had great
34
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 Vancouver, where his club advanced to Northwest
League playoffs.
Combining his numbers with the Canadians and the Athletics, Tyson finished
his first professional season with 19 appearances (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
“We got to go to the White House and
Capitol Hill. We saw a lot of important
people like (Vice President) Joe Biden and

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 exemplifying the five core values of the NAIA Champions 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,

Softball & Men’s Golf Teams Capture
Conference Championships in Spring 2010
In its first academic year as a member of
the Appalachian Athletic Conference, Reinhardt captured a pair of championships
and had one team advance to an NAIA National Championship event.
Athletic Director Bill Popp said Reinhardt 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 commendations 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 conference’s automatic bid to the national event
at the TPC Deere Run course in Silvis, Ill.
The Eagles were led by junior Chris Cartwright, and freshmen Zach Lindsey and
Dan Merriman, who each received all-conference 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, sophomores Kelsey Floyd, Ashley Kennedy and
Andrea Thibaudeau, and freshman Lindsey
Booker. Senior Alex Riccardi, who graduated from Reinhardt in May, was an NAIA
Scholar-Athlete. – SPR

Women’s Soccer, Volleyball Teams Again
Among Top Academic Performers in Nation
(Top) 2009 Lady Eagles soccer team. (Bottom) 2009 Lady Eagles volleyball team.
2009-10
Two Reinhardt teams received national
recognition when the National Association 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 gradepoint average on a 4.0 scale.
“These two teams have had a lot of
success academically and deserve the recognition 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. Reinhardt 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 scholar teams. Only the University of Virginia’s
College at Wise, with three, had more than
Reinhardt. – SPR. 36
Golden Eagle awards are given annually to Reinhardt’s top male and female
student-athletes while the Silver Eagle
awards are presented to a male and female
student-athlete with the most team spirit
and loyalty to the University.
The awards will be presented at Homecoming on Feb. 12, 2011, during halftime
of the women’s basketball game. Their
names will also be added to plaques displayed in the James & Sis Brown Athletic
Center. — SPR
Volleyball Program Under
Direction of New Head Coach
The Reinhardt women’s volleyball program 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 College where she served as the head volleyball coach the last three years. Last season,
she was named the Alabama Community
College Conference (ACCC) Coach of
the Year. – SPR
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 starting the first-ever women’s lacrosse
team at Reinhardt,” she said. Already the team is coming together. In a big tournament this fall,
they played Clemson hard. “We
only lost by one, and for a brand
new team, that’s really impressive,” she said.
Reinhardt Athletic Director
Bill Popp is encouraging community 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 starting a tradition, and we want you
to be a part.”
Schedules will be on ReinhardtEagles.com later this fall.

Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood
With more than 200 scholarship studentathletes, 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.”
