Reinhardt
officials have gotten an enthusiastic response from the students
at North Metro, Appalachian and Coosa Valley Technical
Institutes and Georgia Highlands College. Information has been
sent to paraprofessionals working in Cherokee, Bartow,
Cartersville City, Pickens, Gilmer, Cobb, Murray and Gordon
school districts. These areas are within easy driving distance
for this new program.
Associate
Professor of Education and WAIT Program Coordinator Harriett
Lindsey has been integrally involved in the development of this
new program, and she describes it as “a wonderful way to
complete a quality education program as a working adult.”
“As word has
gotten out, we have started to gather a list of interested
students, but we know others are out there who haven’t yet heard
about the WAIT program,” said Lindsey. “We want to encourage
everyone who might be interested to attend an upcoming Open
House so we can answer questions and share our excitement. A
financial aid advisor, an admissions counselor and academic
advisors will be available for consultation”
Price School
of Education Dean Dr. Thomas Reed said “the WAIT Program is also
helpful because students will be considered full-time which
benefits them as many financial aid opportunities are based on
full-time enrollment.”
Additionally,
classes will be small so students get personal attention from
educators who value their experiences. WAIT students will stay
also together as a cohort throughout the program.
“The cohort
concept is perfect for working adults,” Lindsay said. “They
develop close, collaborative relationships that will last long
after graduation.”
All classes
will be taught on Reinhardt's main campus in Waleska, Ga. The
program includes summers and will take approximately 9 semesters
to complete.
