Student Life
Reinhardt University is dedicated to making your college experience one that shapes your life and builds your future. As a student, your opportunities for educational, professional and personal growth are limitless.
I have the honor and privilege to work with an exceptional team of Student Affairs professionals. Our goal is to be educators outside of the classroom – providing services, facilities and programs – enabling student success and creating a unique Reinhardt Experience where each student thrives.
Though the landscape of higher education is rapidly changing, there are certain constants within the college experience: Students manage a momentous transition, develop their own identities, figure out who they are, and discover the path that will lead them to their future. This is truly a journey of self-exploration. The Dean of Students serves as a guide along this journey. Like a whitewater rafting guide leading an expedition, the Dean shepherds students down the river, helping navigate life’s many unforeseen rocks and obstacles, while allowing students to experience the challenges of the small rapids. This allows students to become more confident, empowered and resilient.
You will find your time at Reinhardt to be challenging, fulfilling and memorable. I hope that you will achieve your goals, contribute to our community and have fun along the way.
Should you encounter a hurdle or need to be pointed in the right direction, I and the staff of the Division of Student Affairs are just a call, click or visit away. Please know that our capable Student Affairs staff stands ready to assist you in any way that we can.
Lastly, welcome to YOUR University! Go Eagles!
Walter P. May, Ph.D.
Dean of Students
