Addressing Expectations for Technology
Investing in Technology:
Committed to Spend $1.2 million over 4 years
Today’s students live connected
to their cell phones, Blackberries,
Facebook & You Tube, iPods
and laptops. They talk by texting.
As Reinhardt responds to
these changing expectations,
see what’s to come.
A committee of faculty, staff and students began gathering
a list of technology needs in spring of 2008, and their report
was fine-tuned by Reinhardt’s trustees. “Our plan recognizes
what we need now and in the future to maintain quality,”
Reinhardt President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood said. “This plan
also allows us to better integrate technology into classroom
and administrative functions.”
Projects for this Year include:
Technology Additions
Online Classes
Additional courses for working
adults will be added this year.
Online Community
Accepted students have a new
website where they can meet, post
questions and receive news.
EagleAlert
Emergency text message and
e-mail system added in 2008.
Document Camera
Equipment allows a professor
to project an image from a book,
magazine, etc. onto a large screen.
Classroom
Response System
Students respond by selecting
a button on a “clicker”.
Professors can track responses, thus
increasing participation and feedback.

Dynamic new www.reinhardt.edu
A Window for the World into Reinhardt
If you have checked the Reinhardt website,
www.reinhardt.edu, lately you may have
asked, “Where’s the Reinhardt blue and
gold?” Well... it’s still there; you just have
to click on alumni, parents or current students to see it.
The homepage now mirrors the College’s admissions publications. Pages provide links selected for specific audiences
like alumni, current students and future
students. In its sixth generation, Reinhardt’s website had grown to 950+ pages, a
far cry from the one-page site created by a
volunteer in November of 1995.
Alumni director DeeJay Jackson ’04
has used the web to publicize events and
sees it and other electronic communication, like the alumni e-newsletter, as becoming increasingly important, especially
with recent alumni.
President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood
said the web does an excellent job of reflecting Reinhardt’s unique spirit. “Our
site shows much more than just the facts,”
he said. “Its graphics and words help to
show the atmosphere and people that
make this place so special.”
Admissions director Julie Fleming
said the web has played a critical role in
recruiting, especially when complemented
by helpful students, faculty and staff. “If
we didn’t have the website, there’s no way
we would have brought in the number of
students — around 370 each year — that we
have for the last three years,” she said. Almost a third of new students this fall first
indicated their interest via the web. But
Fleming is careful not to put all her efforts
into technology. “Web pages and e-mails
are important, but they can’t replace the
personal touch, which really makes the difference with a lot of our families.”
Briana Moody, student government association president, and Justin West, technology committee student member, are
enjoying the new site. “Students really like
it,” she said. “It gives you a lot more information, especially for prospective students.”
West said the links have helped him find
information more quickly.
Virginia R. Tomlinson, executive director and CIO for information technology,
said new features are ahead including video and sound clips, instant messaging and
live chat. “We have added space and band
width so we can better utilize our site. Now
that the new site is live, we plan to make it
even more useful.” — MSW
»» Wireless access - Students ranked »» Computer lab renovations - Lawexpanded wireless access as their most
important technology need. Wireless
was completed in all residence halls
this summer and in all academic building this fall. An outdoor access point
was also added in the center of campus.
»» Smartboards
- Smartboards look
like white boards or movie screens,
but they are actually large interactive
computer screens that allow students
and professors to select buttons or
write notes on the screen, which they
can save to their computers. A smartboard will be added in the Falany Performing Arts Center and the Dobbs
Building this year, but eventually all
designated classrooms will have them.
»» OneCard - New student ID cards will
be implemented this fall for use in the
Gordy Center, library, laundry rooms,
selected vending machines, and specific outside door locks. They can also be
used as debit cards with participating
retailers. “I fought for the... OneCard
system,” said Briana Moody, SGA president. “It allows you to do so much on
one card. Also managing credit and
budgeting are learning processes, and
it’ll be good for that learning aspect. It
will also help open up access to certain
areas after normal building hours.”
son 204 & 207 were renovated and
rearranged, new furniture added,
and the network speed improved.
These changes have made each lab a
more effective instructional area. “A
lot of students said the new labs
are very nice,” Justin West, technology committee member, said.
»» Audio visual control systems & updated projectors - When completed,
all classrooms will have wall controls
for screens and projectors. Outdated
projectors have been replaced, and
additional projectors added. These
changes allow professors to more easily utilize technology in all their classes.
»» Training
- Nine in-house training
classes on Microsoft 2007 Word, Excel and PowerPoint were held this fall
for faculty & staff, and additional
classes will be offered in the spring.
»» Administrative software - The web
portal that gives users access to course
offerings, grades, budgeting, billing
and student accounts is being replaced
with an updated version, JICS. The
JICS system has a better web interface
and includes new features for paying
online and checking admissions status for prospective students. —MSW

Leadership Program Launches
This Spring
New Learning Lab:
Center for Student
Success Replaces SERF
It’s where you go for help with
your first big college paper and
much more.
What does it mean
to be a leader?
To Rabab Kamal,
a freshman from
Cartersville, Ga.,
being a leader is a
part of her everyday
life. The oldest of
five siblings, Rabab’s leadership skills began
at home.
“As the oldest, I try to be the role model for my sisters and brother,” she said. “I
have set high standards for them because I
was so involved in high school.”
From band to National Honor Society, Rabab was involved in more than 10
organizations in high school, and now that
she started college, Rabab will take part
this spring in the Reinhardt College Lead-
ership Academy (RCLA)—a new program
open to all students.
Rabab hopes that through the RCLA
she can build upon her leadership skills.
“You have to be a follower to be a
leader,” Rabab said. “Some people think
that you are born a leader, but in my experiences, you have to learn and grow to
become a leader.”
RCLA is a one-day conference that will
include such discussions and workshops as:
Time & Stress Management, Leadership
Style, Intercultural Awareness and Communication Style.
“To be a strong leader, you have to take
the skills you learn and use them every day,”
Rabab said. “Young people have to step up
as leaders so that we can build a strong
foundation for future generations.”—LHT
The new Reinhardt College Leadership Academy will welcome its first group of students
this spring. The RCLA will reinforce the six pillars of leadership excellence—envision,
enlist, embody, empower, evaluate, encourage—through studying the
writings and actions of great leaders, listening to scholarly presentations by leadership
professionals, and participating in interactive workshops.
New Degree Program:
World Languages and Cultures
Viviana Baxter (right) will host an international
study opportunity to Spain this summer. “Visiting a
country you are studying is an excellent way to reinforce what you are learning about language and
culture,” she said. Baxter’s group visited Segovia,
Spain in 2002.
4
A Bachelor of Arts in World Languages and
Cultures was added in 2008, thus bringing
the number of Reinhardt programs to 39.
Reinhardt’s program is designed for
practical use. Viviana Baxter, associate professor of Spanish language and education,
said most traditional language programs
concentrate heavily on literature, but Reinhardt’s major emphasizes proficiency in
two languages and the cultures of both.
“Our degree seeks to produce graduates
with a broader understanding of language
and culture as a basis for work or graduate
study in business, education or the liberal
arts,” she said.—MSW
“A lot of people come to college and
have no real concept about how to take
notes or study,” said Dr. Catherine B.
Emanuel, the Center’s first full-time director. “They think if they read it once,
they’ve got it. That’s often not the case
in college.”
Founded several years ago as the
SERF lab, the Center was refocused
and renovated this summer. It offers
free tutoring in all subjects, but most
students come for help with math or
writing. New services include study
skills workshops and standardized test
prep sessions. Long-term plans include
promoting student research and supporting the reading and writing emphasis for first-year students, the Compass
Project, beginning in 2010.
Professor Dr. Richard Summers
also assists with the Center and sees
this work as fulfilling the College’s mission. “We as a faculty pride ourselves on
offering a community of challenge and
care, but it’s not only about challenge,”
he said. “We also have to show them
that we care. We have to do everything
we can to help students be successful,
and the Center is one way we do that.”
—MSW
Dr. Richard Summers (left) and Dr. Catherine
Emanuel (right) work with students and student
tutors like Andrea Cole, Nicole Davis and Andrew Pullen to provide services to help students
succeed academically.
Community Cooperation Helps Produce
Two Successful New Programs
Vice President for Institutional Advancement and External Affairs JoEllen Bell
Wilson ’61 said collaboration and cooperation have long been central to the
College’s success.
“Reinhardt has partnered with our
community for generations to provide quality programs and skilled graduates,” Wilson
said. “Two recent examples are WAIT and
our new exercise classes. By working closely with Cherokee County school officials
and the local YMCA, we benefited from
their expertise and now have two dynamic
new programs.”
Reinhardt President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood welcomes this support. “I hear Reinhardt described by neighbors and friends
as ‘my college,’” he said. “These people
aren’t alumni, but there’s still a lot of passion behind their feeling of ownership that
we welcome and support.”
Margaret O’Connor, associate vice
president for academic affairs, is continuing this spirit in northern Fulton County.
“We are eager to assist local organizations
through degree programs and other outreach efforts. We’ve been here for 20 years,
and we see much potential for cooperation
and meeting shared goals.” —MSW
Shaping Up!
Success Does WAIT!
“WAIT Students Are Uniquely
Prepared to Relate Coursework
to the Reality of the Classroom.”
Success does WAIT for a select group of
Reinhardt students. Comprised of students
who currently work as para-professionals,
substitute teachers or in fields outside of
education, the WAIT program [Working
Adults Into Teaching] gives those, who may
have put their education on hold because
of family or work obligations, the opportunity to finish their degree in Early Childhood Education.
Seventy-five students are enrolled in
the program, with another 30 expected
to begin this spring; not one student has
dropped from the program.
Harriett Lindsey, associate professor of education and director of field
experience, attributes the program’s enrollment and retention success to the
individual attention and support given to
each student.
“The program is a true learning community,” she said. “The students have
formed close friendships with each other,
and the instructors, who all have professional teaching backgrounds, are mentors
throughout the students’ careers.”
Since
Reinhardt’s
founding in 1883,
College and community
leaders have worked closely
to address student and
workplace needs.
YMCA Partners with Reinhardt
to Offer Group Exercise
Monique Carroll ’08 teaches first grade at Joseph
Knox Elementary in Canton, Ga. The popular
WAIT program is based on the paraprofessional program she completed.
The WAIT program was based upon
the college’s former Paraprofessional Program, which Cherokee County School officials helped create and fine-tune. Twenty
parapros graduated this past spring, and all
are now teaching in their own classrooms.
“A partnership which fosters ongoing
collaboration between Reinhardt College
and the Cherokee County School District
has been in place since 2000,” explained
Dr. Frank Petruzielo, superintendent of
schools. “Establishing a seamless degree
program targeting paraprofessionals who
desired a teaching degree and certification
was ground-breaking and capitalized on the
paraprofessionals’ significant classroom experience. ”
Do you want to be a part of WAIT? For
more information, contact Lindsey at 770720-5581 or [email protected]. —LHT
Reinhardt is partnering with the G. Cecil Pruett Community Center Family
YMCA in Canton, Ga. to offer on-campus exercise classes for students, faculty
and staff.
Tracy Heimerl, the YMCA group
exercise coordinator, said the program is
a “win-win” because the class members
learn about the Y and vice versa.
Students have asked for such classes,
and college officials believe these opportunities support life-long learning and a
commitment to healthy living.
Response has been enthusiastic.
Caitlyn Crippin, a senior from Conyers,
Ga., says that she loves the workouts.
Offerings include pilates, yoga, core conditioning and zumba. — LHT
Staff member Kirsten Mazur is all smiles despite
a challenging workout.

Loyal and Involved Alumni Recognized
in Ministerial Honoree Scholarship Program
The Reinhardt Ministerial Association created the Ministerial Honoree Scholarship
Program in 1992. Each year, a handful of exemplary ministers and laypersons are
selected to be honorees. Their family, friends and church members are invited to
recognize these role models by making a gift to the College in their honor. Over the
years, these efforts have raised more than $200,000 for scholarships.

To better meet adult student needs and
changing marketplace demands, Reinhardt
administrators have decided to place new
emphasis on degree-completion programs,
co-hort programs and graduate studies at
the College’s North Fulton Center in Alpharetta, Ga.
Reinhardt’s North Fulton Center has
been an educational resource for Roswell
and Alpharetta for more than 20 years.
Margaret O’Connor, Reinhardt’s associate vice president for academic affairs, is
enthusiastic about the change. “Career opportunities and rewards for our students
underline the importance of moving in
this new direction,” she said.
College officials worked with the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety to
refocus the associate degree in criminal
justice. Students will take 8-week sessions
in flexible classes built around the busy
schedules of working adults. Online course
options will also be available.
“Our curriculum prepares students
for the fields of juvenile and adult justice,
while they explore investigation, detection
and enforcement procedures, and improve
problem-solving skills and critical thinking
abilities,” said O’Connor.
College officials are also planning to
bring the popular evening program in early
childhood education, WAIT, to the North
Fulton Center in fall of 2009.

“The
Bennetts personify the
close relationship between
Reinhardt and the community,” said Marsha S. White, Reinhardt executive director
of marketing and communications. “John
and Joy are caring alumni who participate
in many of the College’s activities. They
live out their Christian ideals every day,
and I can’t think of two people more worthy of this recognition.”
John is in the second generation of
Bennetts to attend Reinhardt. His father
and all his 11 aunts or uncles attended Reinhardt. Joy is also a Reinhardt graduate, as
are their children: John H. Bennett III ’88,
Angela Bennett Ulm ’90 and Amy Bennett

John met Joy at Colonial Grocery.

Gary Waddell, he doesn’t strike you
as someone who didn’t plan on going to
college.
“No one in my family, on either side,
had graduated from college,” he said. “After high school, I went to work in the carpet mills of Dalton.” His young age kept
him from being drafted into the Vietnam
War, and he credits a series of events for
bringing him to Reinhardt.
He knew of the College from his high
school sweetheart, Brenda Hill. She was already at Reinhardt when his mother and
her friend asked him to swing by and deliver a package to the friend’s son. “We pulled
onto the campus and here came Henry
strolling out of the administration building, in college dress with books in hand. I
knew in that moment that Reinhardt was
where I needed to be.”
He applied and took his first SAT.
He worked two shifts, close to 80 hours a
week, to pay for school. His first quarter he
“studied hard for the first time in a long
time, and I made 3 Cs.” Before he finished,
he had made the honor roll. “We had a lot
of fun, too,” he laughingly said. “I wasn’t
the student without any blemishes...I spent
a little time in Dean Wood’s office, but we
got to be good friends.”
“I count my two years at Reinhardt
among the best years of my life,” he said.

Jack H. Smith ’38 met his wife-to-be, Ruby,
while sitting on the corner watching the
Reinhardt students go by. They married in
1953. He served in the Philippines as an
Army Airborne Engineer from 1941 to 1945.
He left the service as a staff sergeant with
the World War II Victory Medal, a Philippine Liberation Ribbon with a Bronze
Star, an Asiatic-Pacific Service Medal
with Two Bronze Stars and an America
Service Medal.
He started his construction career at
Greene Lumber. His family pegs his success to his God-given ability to build, fix
things and save money. His other interests
have included real estate development, residential contracting and banking.
As former mayor of Waleska, he helped
establish a city water system, a new City
Hall, a fire station and police department.
He was an R.M. Moore Elementary school
trustee and served on the Cherokee Day
Care Program board. He has also been active in the Cherokee County Community
Action Agency, the Chamber of Commerce, the Industrial Authority, the Lions
Club and Masons.
He served on the College’s Alumni
Board of Governors and is a member of
the Reinhardt Ambassadors. He supervised the building of the College’s President’s Home in the late 1970s. Since the
Smiths live down the street from the campus, they have befriended many students
over the years.
The Smiths are active in Waleska
Baptist Church. They have one daughter,
Edna Cook ’75, and two granddaughters,
Amanda Cook Brown ’98, and Julie Cook
LeSesne. —MSW
After graduating from Reinhardt, Mathew
A. Pinson ’05 served as the director of
of annual giving at Tennessee Wesleyan
College (Athens, Tenn.), a role he held
until early in 2008, when he became
the director of development for major
gifts at the Candler School of Theology,
Emory Univeristy.
He married the Rev. Susan Moore ’04
on May 31, 2008, in the Hagan Chapel.
The son of a United Methodist minister, he has been very active within The
United Methodist Church and served as
an elected delegate to the 2000, 2004 and
2008 Jurisdictional and General Conferrences of the Church. He is associate conference lay leader for the North Georgia
Annual Conference, and, at the request
of the Bishop, serves on the Board of Ordained Ministry.
As he accepted the award, Pinson
praised his classmates’ accomplishments
and thanked those who had helped him.
“In the last ten years, others who
graduated with me are probably much
more deserving of this award... For many
young alumni, the value of a Reinhardt degree has launched them to where they are
now—it’s the springboard for our success.

The Stewarts are the very first members
of a unique group of people at Reinhardt:
the 1883 Club. Named for the year Reinhardt was established, 1883 Club members
show their appreciation for Reinhardt’s
unique experience by caring consistently.
With an automatic monthly donation
of $18.83 from their credit card, the Stewarts give back to their alma mater and express their gratitude for all they received.
“We both owe Reinhardt a great deal,” he
said. “We look back at our college years as
formative and endearing.”
The Stewarts lovingly share their Reinhardt story. He is the senior pastor at
Hartwell First United Methodist Church,
and she is a ninth-grade science teacher at
Hart County High School. They have three
daughters: Taylar, Lauren and Ashton.
The youngest member of the 1883
Club is Tim Teague ’07, a native of Clarksville, Ga. “I visited campus one time, and I
knew this was where I was going to college.
Now I want to give back for everything Reinhardt gave me.”
The Stewarts: (rear, l - r) Tracey’85 and Allen ’85;
(front, l - r) Taylar, Lauren and Ashton.
Calling Reinhardt his home away
from home, Teague returns to Campus often. He recently helped host the Miss Reinhardt Pageant, and he regularly attends
basketball games, a team he played on for
four years.
“I hope that other young alumni will
recognize the impact Reinhardt had on
their lives,” Teague said, “and then, by giving back, help current students have that
same experience.” Teague lives in Hickory
Flat, Ga., and is a manager at Hollister in
Alpharetta, Ga.
Teague and the Stewarts want to encourage other alumni and friends to join
them in the 1883 Club. “Sometimes you
forget that you want to help,” Teague said,
“but once you join, you always know you’re
at least giving $18.83 a month.”
Rev. Stewart feels the same way. “Reinhardt alumni owe so much to the College,”
he said. “I hope that they will step up and
help in this easy, yet beneficial way.”

President’s Report & Honor Roll of Donors
A Note-Worthy Thank You
Record number of students attended
the 2nd Annual Scholarship Fiesta
on October 23, 2008
Just as they have in the past,
students today find meaning and
purpose in their lives through their
Reinhardt experiences.
At this festive event hosted by the Office of
Development, students met other scholarship recipients and wrote notes of thanks
to the donors who provided funding for
their scholarship awards. They also enjoyed
a fiesta-themed dinner, piñatas and prizes.
Forty students took part. “It’s important that students realize it is not simply
money,” says Melanie Scopa, development
officer. “Their scholarships were funded
by men and women who were generous
enough to give from their own pockets,
some of whom were Reinhardt students,
too. We want them to know how much our
students appreciate this assistance.” —MLS
Letitia Cline ’83, principal
Dear Friends,
A
young man, nervous, walked on
stage. Only a few seats were left in
the Falany Performing Arts Center, which might seem strange to some
for a percussion recital. A young lady followed with her fife, and she whistled out
a march as he accompanied on his drum.
The evening began as you would expect
with a drum – orderly and rhythmic. But
then he moved to the marimba with two
mallets in each hand. With imperceptible movements of each wrist, harmonies
flowed from the stage. From timpani to
triangles, classical to jazz, the minutes
passed without notice. Before I realized it,
I had enjoyed an entertaining evening of
percussion.
Right, top: Development Officer Melanie L. Scopa
’03 (left) and Development Coordinator Erin P. Honea (right) welcome each student, like scholarship recipient Jessica Campione of White, Ga., who takes
part in the event.
Right, middle: Ashley Young of Canton, Ga., takes a
break from her music classes to write a note.

Fabulous
Life is wonderful at Reinhardt.
As the young man took his final bow in
response to the applause and cheers of
friends and strangers and raised his hand
in embarrassed recognition, it was moving
to see what this accomplishment meant
to him. The memory of this evening will
always be his. His success on this stage
at his college, Reinhardt, will travel with
him forever.

Reinhardt is a college of discovery.
Whether through the arts, in a classroom,
in student leadership, on an athletic field,
in chapel, or in service to the community,
students achieve great things here. They
reach higher than they ever dreamed possible. Just as they have in the past, students
today find meaning and purpose in their
lives through their Reinhardt experiences,
and they take these lessons with them into
the community and make the world a better place.
I believe no college does a better job than
we do in offering these life defining moments to our young people. Reinhardt is a
special and sacred place where evidence of
God’s Grace is shared every day.
Please join with us to continue to nurture
this spirit of challenge, support and accomplishment. With your help, I assure you
that we will always lead the way as a college
of opportunity. Your generosity means so
very much to the lives of these wonderful
students.
Thank you for your continued support.

Annual Fundraising Drive Has Widespread Impact
in the Classroom and with Students
R
next?
einhardt’s Annual Fund raised
$978,759 during the 2007-08
year. What a huge annual impact
this has made on our students! Not
only do your gifts support classroom activities
and programs, but they also allow students to
benefit from the value others place on them and
this institution. Your generosity demonstrates to
students your sense of ownership for this institution and what it means to be a family of faith.
“So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially
to those who belong to the family of faith.”

Top 10 Reasons to Donate to the Annual Appeals Campaign:
1. To help students today have the
same wonderful life-changing collegiate experience as you had.
2. To provide financial assistance
and help students choose Reinhardt;
more than 94 percent of Reinhardt
students will receive some type of
financial aid this year.
3. To help Reinhardt attract and
retain outstanding faculty and
staff who are the best within their
chosen profession.
4. To support and expand innovative
academic programs.
5. To add and upgrade much needed
campus technology.
6. To purchase library books
7. To make an immediate impact.
Without the annual appeals, each
student would need to pay $917 more
in tuition or fees to cover the cost of
their education.
8. To show Reinhardt’s value to
others. Giving rates are a measure
corporations & foundations use to
rate alumni satisfaction and involvement. If giving rates are high, other
organizations are likely to give.
9. To demonstrate your loyalty to
Reinhardt and its mission.
10.To make a difference!
Each Reinhardt graduate will impact
thousands of lives through his or her
family, business, church and community. By supporting Reinhardt, you
make a difference!

“It was magic for me. It’s also when Brenda
and I realized we would be together the rest
of our lives – that’s another great aspect.”
The Waddells married shortly after
graduation, on July 7, 1968. They moved
to Atlanta and soon started a family. Gary
went on to graduate from Georgia State
University. “I worked full-time and attended evening classes. It was really tough,
working and going to school full time, but
I made it.”
The Waddells have been married 40
years and have two children: a son, Jeff, who
lives in Atlanta, and a daughter, Stephanie
“Stacy”, who lives in the Buford/Cumming
area. Each owns a business, and each are
successful college graduates.

Paying it Forward
Giving back to his alma mater,
H. Talmage Dobbs created a scholarship
for non-traditional business students at Reinhardt.
“Reinhardt gave me so much
while I attended, and now I am
paying it forward by giving back
as an alumnus.”
Priscilla Kaimathiri, a junior nontraditional business administration
major from Marietta, Ga., was
one of the first recipients of the H.
Talmage Dobbs Scholarship.
“I hope to use the education and
knowledge I am obtaining at Reinhardt today to help less privileged
women in Kenya start small
businesses,” she said.
26
H.
Talmage Dobbs was not
your average Reinhardt student. At age 52, Dobbs was
stuck between a rock and a hard place.
His father had recently passed away and
required that any beneficiary of his estate
must have a college degree.
After three previous attempts to fulfill
his father’s wishes earlier in life at The University of Georgia, the University of Miami
and Georgia State University, Dobbs decided to try his hand at Reinhardt College.
“I quit all three because I was too
smart,” says Mr. Dobbs. “When you go
back 30 years later, you find out what you
don’t know.”
While working towards his degree in
Reinhardt’s McCamish School of Business, Dobbs credits faculty members Dr.
Noel Powell and Tom Kirk with shaping
his education and significantly impacting
his experience as a student.
“Reinhardt means everything to me,”
he said. “It was the best thing that ever
happened to me.” He proudly graduated
in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree
in business administration with a concentration in finance.
Inspired by his time on campus,
Dobbs left Reinhardt with a desire to give
back to the institution that had given him
so much. In 2005, he contacted his alma
mater about doing just that, and soon after, the H. Talmage Dobbs Scholarship for
Non-Traditional Business Students was
created. This endowment will continue
to benefit students like Dobbs for years
to come.
The first awards were made for the
2008-09 academic year; Priscilla Kaimathiri, a junior non-traditional business
administration major from Marietta, Ga.,
was one of the first recipients.
“I hope to use the education and
knowledge I am obtaining at Reinhardt today to help less privileged women in Kenya
start small businesses,” she said.
Kaimathiri and her husband, a minister at East Cobb United Methodist Church
in Marietta, are natives of Kenya and travel
there each summer to do mission work and
lay the foundation for their future endeavors. Their son, Daniel, is a junior accounting major at Reinhardt.
Dobbs hopes that students who receive
his scholarship continue their education
and reach for all their goals at Reinhardt.
“No one can steal your education. Never give up. Ask for a tutor. Ask to do extra
credit and finish!” he said.
He hopes that other alumni will follow his lead and give back to Reinhardt in
whatever way possible. “Reinhardt gave me
so much while I attended,” he said humbly,
“now I am giving back as an alumnus. ”
Dobbs, a private investor, is married
to Georgia Dobbs, a professional tennis
player. Together, he and his wife drag-race
professionally. The couple currently resides
in West Palm Beach, Fla.—MLS

West ’95 ’01 & Love ’96 ’01 Featured Speakers at
Reinhardt’s 2008 Business Ethics Seminar
Major Vic West ’95 ’01 (left) and
Lieutenant Bert Love ’96 ’01 of
the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office
were featured speakers at Reinhardt’s
annual Business Ethics Seminar on
March 17, 2008. The seminar was
hosted by the Peter S. Knox Program
in Business Ethics in the McCamish
School of Business at Reinhardt. The
Knox Family Foundation and the Tull
Foundation also provided funds.
They examined many recent examples of ethical lapses and presented
some of the reasons public officials
choose to act unethically. West provided statistics to put the negative
examples into perspective. “There are
approximately 54,000 public safety
officers in Georgia,” he said. “Only
about three percent commit some type
of unethical act throughout the year,
and the majority of those are dealt
with through retraining or some sort
of remedial or disciplinary actions.”
Associate Professor of Business
Dr. Bonnie E. Garson hosted the seminar. —MSW

DeeAnna Parrish ’03
“At Reinhardt I learned to be independent.
I have to do what I have to do to get
myself home safely at night.”
DeeAnna Parrish ’03 is a
police officer in New York City.
Her career choice was influenced by her
father, who was a policeman when she was
young. “I used to sit and watch him put on
his (bulletproof) vest, but I never thought
I would be doing the same thing,” she said.
“I was always afraid to try this; it was sort of
a man’s role to play, but I really like it.”
DeeAnna earned a bachelor’s degree in
psychology from Reinhardt in 2003. She
received her M.S. in Forensic Science Investigation in 2005 from the University of
New Haven (West Haven, CT).
How did you get from Reinhardt
to New York?
During my second year in grad school I
started applying for jobs, and I took the
NYPD test as an option. With my master’s,
I knew that I would have to work as a police
officer before I could get a job in forensics.
Exactly one week after graduation, I got a
call from NYPD to start the academy.

patrols her assigned area in the South Bronx.
(Right) Parrish enjoys welcoming her father and
mother, Alan and Belinda Parrish, to the Big Apple.
What is a typical workday like for you?
There is never a typical day! Every day is
filled with craziness, and you never know
what it will be. I handle things from domestic disputes and burglaries to cases when
someone is hurt or needs an ambulance.
When not handling jobs…I am checking
the roofs in buildings to make sure no
one is dealing drugs or doing drugs. Or
I’m looking for dangerous conditions that
need to be corrected. I also get assigned to
different boroughs for special events like
parades, award shows or protests. My assignment includes four major public housing units in the South Bronx.
Who influenced you as
a Reinhardt student?
My biggest influences were probably
my psychology and sociology professors.
I also loved working for Ann Atchley in the
greenhouse. Even after I stopped working
with her, I still visited, and we were very
close. I still thank Ann today! I was also
influenced by the entire Residential Life
Staff because they were a big part of my
times at Reinhardt.
Why did you choose Reinhardt?
I fell in love with Reinhardt when I visited it for the first time. I wanted to go to
a small school that wasn’t far from home.
What is the most important lesson you I loved the small classes, and the campus
was beautiful! I am so glad that I chose

Elizabeth Moss Bailey ’28
“A wise counselor and teacher, inspiring others
through trust, faith, compassion and nobility of spirit.”
Active in civic affairs, he was a member of the Kiwanis, Exchange Club, Masonic
Lodge and Lions Club. He held many roles in the community and wrote a weekly
newspaper column for 11 years.
A Reinhardt trustee since 1945, he was honored with the Reinhardt Distinguished
Alumnus Award in 1975, the Alumni Loyalty Award in 1985, a Reinhardt Ministerial Honoree Scholarship for 50 years of service in 1995 and the College’s John
Wesley Award in 2002. He had been an active member of Lawrenceville FUMC
since 1964.
Gibson generously gave of his time to his alma mater for more than 60 years. He
shared his thoughts about “owing Reinhardt” at a College luncheon in 2002. He
said as his accounts were being settled prior to graduation, he learned Reinhardt
owed him $7.50 for hours he worked in the College kitchen. Instead of getting paid,
he asked that someone take over his job. Two students were hired, and he “called it
even.” He said he realized that he owed Reinhardt, not the other way around. “I was
indebted to Reinhardt... I thought, when I start paying what I owed off, soon as I
get this, I’ll take it easy. But by the time I did that, Reinhardt had done some other
things for me, and I found myself deeper in debt. And all through the years, I’ve
been trying to keep a challenge to Reinhardt and to the churches I’ve served, and
I’ve found myself deeper and deeper in debt. I’m still trying to pay debts that have
come as you have blessed my life. You’ve given me an opportunity to tell people to
be their best and follow Christ.” — MSW
from The 1965 Cherokee Phoenix
E
lizabeth Moss Bailey ’28 passed
away on Sept. 8, 2008. A Cherokee
County native, she attended grammar school, high school and junior college
at Reinhardt. She was elected “Miss Reinhardt” and was her class valedictorian. She
also graduated from LaGrange College and
The University of Georgia.
She began her career in 1930. She
served as Waleska Elementary School
principal and was the first curriculum director for Cherokee County Schools. She
also served as Curriculum Director for the
Georgia State Department of Education.
She served Reinhardt as Dean of
Women from 1962 until her retirement in
1975. She also taught English, was registrar
and held several alumni leadership positions. In 1965, the annual, The Cherokee
Phoenix, was dedicated to her. In 1977, she
was named Dean Emeritus.
Bailey held a special place in the hearts
of many alumni. In 1973, she received Reinhardt’s Alumni Loyalty Award. In 1983,
she created the College’s Centennial Quilt,
on display for years in the College library.
In 2001, she was the first woman to receive
Reinhardt’s John Wesley Laity Award, and
a scholarship was established in her honor.
As she accepted the award, she said, “My
message to you is thank you, I love you and
I want you to remember what John Wesley said… ‘Do all the good you can.’” The
audience, many with tears in their eyes, responded with a standing ovation.
The Elizabeth Moss Bailey Faculty
Mentor Award, the recipient of whom is
selected each year by the student government, was named for her in 2003.
Bailey was a lifelong member of Waleska UMC where she served in many leadership capacities. She moved to Pawleys
Island, S.C. in 1997 to live with her daughter, Betty Moss McGuirt ’55, and her husband, the Rev. Milton McGuirt.

but the team was unable to score a goal.
The men’s soccer team’s final record was
21 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie, with a ranking
of second in the nation—the best finish of
any athletic team in recent Reinhardt
College history.
“Although we didn’t win the
title, we earned a lot of respect
among our peers,” Walton

have kept in touch after graduation, but now, ten years later, they
reunited at Reinhardt on Oct. 18, 2008
to remember that victorious season and
honor the coach that instilled in them the
value of teamwork.
“From the beginning, I encouraged
the team to believe in the idea that they
are great players, but they will only do well
if they work together as a team,” said Lars
Andersson, Reinhardt men’s soccer coach
from 1993-98, now the head women’s soccer coach at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. “That was the recipe for
our success.”
“I have very strong ties to the 1998
team, and I enjoyed playing a pick-up game
and reminiscing about our success that season. Back then I had a coach-player relationship with each player, but now I can say
that we all share a true friendship.”—LHT

was 1998, and the
Reinhardt College
men’s soccer team was
facing State Fair College
from State Fair, Mo. Tired
and bruised from a game the
day before, the Reinhardt team
was still pumped because this wasn’t just
any game—it was the national championship game of the National Junior College
Athletic Association (NJCAA).
“From day one of the season, our
team’s focus was completely on winning
the district championship,” explained
Benji Walton ’01, a member of the 1998
men’s soccer team and now the head women’s soccer coach at Birmingham-Southern
College. “Going to the national championships wasn’t even on our radar, so
when we got to that point, it was a
surreal experience.”
The national championship game was
bittersweet for the Reinhardt team. It was
a scoreless battle until late in the first half
when a State Fair midfielder kicked a shot
that hit the post and then dropped in front
Success on Display
Reinhardt’s past athletic accomplishments
are now on display in three solid oak trophy cases in the James & Sis Brown Athletic Center. The cases were donated by the
Kennesaw State University athletic department and renovated by the College’s maintenance department.
“We are so pleased to have the trophy
cases in place,” said Athletic Director Bill
Popp (left). “We are very proud to display
some of the history of athletics here at Reinhardt.”—LHT

Athletics Features
It is a good thing that in most team sports,
players wear different jersey numbers to
distinguish themselves from one another.
This is especially true at Reinhardt, which
features five sets of twin student-athletes
who compete as teammates on six different
athletic teams.
Jarrod and Michael Willis are junior
baseball players; Kinsey and Kelsey Galyon,
along with Aaron and Adam Darling, are
sophomore basketball players, while Elizabeth and Laura Waite are freshman soccer
players. Kristen and Lauren Cook, also
freshmen, are two-sport student-athletes,
playing both volleyball and softball.
So, why did these twins decide to further their academic and athletic careers at
Reinhardt? Was there a chance that they
would separate and choose to attend different colleges?
“After high school, we knew that we
wanted to play college baseball together
somewhere,” Michael Willis said. “We
knew that we wanted to go to school together because all of our lives we really
haven’t been split up.”
Kelsey Galyon said, “We had opportunities to play basketball at other places,
Sets of Twins
but once we came and visited Reinhardt,
we felt like this is where we are supposed
to be. I don’t think we would have gone
anywhere without each other.”
The Willis and Galyon twins have enjoyed their Reinhardt experiences thus far.
“The students are very nice, and it’s
just a good atmosphere,” Michael Willis
said. “Classes aren’t big, so it’s easier to
learn.”
When selecting a college, the Galyons
also had to consider location, since they
are from Knoxville, Tenn., compared to
the Willis brothers who are from Douglasville, Ga.
“It was the right choice to move away,”
Kelsey Galyon said. “It’s about three
hours from home, and it’s helped us grow
up, change in a lot of ways and be more
independent.”
One thing is certain with both the
Willis and Galyon duos – they enjoy
being twins.
“It’s just fun being a twin,” Michael
Willis said. “Being a twin is different.”
Kelsey Galyon echoed Michael’s
thoughts by stating, “It is fun. I don’t know
what it’s like not being a twin.”—SPR

Reinhardt to Celebrate
125 Year Anniversary
During 2008, Reinhardt will host a series of events celebrating the 125th anniversary
of the College’s founding. A black tie gala on Jan. 24 will kick off the festivities; it will
also mark the successful conclusion of the “Confirming Our Commitment” Capital
Campaign.
With the theme of “Beginning a New Chapter in Reinhardt’s Story,” Alumni Director DeeJay Jackson will encourage alumni to focus on furthering the legacy of their
alma mater. Many of the College’s annual events will have an anniversary twist. “On
Alumni Day, we will feature storytelling about the ‘olden days,’” she said. “Also, at
the opening game for each sport, alumni players will be invited back for recognition.”
