A Message From The President

New buildings and programs mark years
of growth at Piedmont College

The past five years mark one of the most intense periods of growth at Piedmont College in its 103-year history. During this time, the college opened five major new buildings and added new degree programs to its undergraduate and graduate curriculum.

With the dedication of Stewart Hall on Oct. 20, 2000, the teaching of math and science at Piedmont entered a new era. The three-story science center more than quadruples the previous laboratory space and represents a quantum leap in safety, convenience and opportunity for students and faculty. 

Named for the late H. Milton Stewart Sr. and Helen Stroud Stewart of Cornelia, former owners of Standard Telephone Company, construction of Stewart Hall was made possible by a lead gift from the Stewart's daughter, Piedmont Trustee Kay Stewart Swanson, and her family.

Also new on campus is the Johnny Mize Athletic Center, which opened in November 2000. This modern, 51,000-square-foot facility houses a multi-purpose gymnasium, fitness center, classrooms, and training rooms. The center is named for National Baseball Hall of Fame member Johnny Mize, a Demorest native who played for Piedmont's varsity team while attending high school at the former Piedmont Academy. The Mize Center also houses the Johnny Mize Baseball Museum, a collection of Mize's own memorabilia from his days in the major leagues from 1936 to 1953.

New academic programs include undergraduate degrees in mass communications, environmental science, and interdisciplinary studies. In 2001, Piedmont graduated its first nursing students from the new Daniel School of Nursing and Health Sciences.

In 1995, Piedmont offered its first graduate program, a master of arts in teaching, and enrolled 15 graduate students. Since then the graduate program has grown to include more than 700 students in early childhood education, secondary education, public administration, special education -- and new this year, art and music education.

The college will add two new graduate-level programs in 2001. These include a master of business administration program and an education specialists degree program.

At Piedmont, we commit ourselves to your intellectual growth and your social development. It is our goal that you graduate from Piedmont College with the knowledge and the skills that make for a successful and happy life.

I welcome you to our college.

W. Ray Cleere
President
