What Can I Do With a Degree in Communication?
"Without Reinhardt and all of the resources it provides, winning this award would not have been possible," Nathan Cabaniss '09 explained about winning a bronze Telly Award. "From the state-of-the-art editing lab to the high-end video and filming equipment, Reinhardt has proven that you don't have to go to a big school to receive proper training and education. And the communications department faculty, staff and instructors are quite honestly the best of the best; no other school can beat the teacher-student dynamic that Reinhardt excels at."
