NEWSLETTER President’s Pen Dear Piedmont University Community, We have lots of good things happening on campus! I am delighted to share that 92% of our Fall undergraduate students returned to Piedmont this Spring! Combined with increased enrollment of undergraduate and graduate students this Spring, we have responded to the challenges from the delays in FAFSA filings last year. Every step of this progress is a credit to the individual and collective efforts of faculty and staff to recruit, support, and engage our students in pursuing their own success.

I also want to mention we now have a Pep Band! The pep band debuted last weekend at the men’s and women’s basketball games to help celebrate Senior Day. Tunes from “Sweet Caroline” to “Georgia on my Mind” to “Take on Me” were played for the crowd. The pep band consists of students from Piedmont, Habersham Central High School, and North Habersham Middle School. It is under the direction of Dr. Emery Warnock, adjunct professor of music and wind ensemble director. We are excited about this new opportunity for our students and fans! Sincerely, Marshall M. Criser, III
