My vision for this year's yearbook is to
have everyone included. I feel that as
students here at Piedmont, everyone
should be able to voice our opinion. The
theme, One Common Goal, as you will
see throughout this book, is to provide
a safe learning environment with free
speech with the unique personalities
and voices of each person that makes
Piedmont what it is today. In order to
follow through with the uniqueness

' of each page, the yearbook has been
transformed from the arrangement of
seasons into sections, including Student
Life, Clubs and many others to provide
an easier way of finding what you want
in your yearbook. I hope others see this
vision and enjoy the individuality of each

^ page, voice and person.

A look back at the history of the Athens Campus

"I have enjoyed the smaller
classes that
Piedmont offers. As a
non-traditional
student, it has been
important to my success
to have dialogue
and time with my professors
It has been a valable and
enlightening experience."
-Qobin Weinrich

"1 love the Athens campus because I know that I
will always be surrounded by intelligent and fun
students and faculty."
-Joy Mock

I decided to come to Piedmont
because of the small classes, and I
heard great things about
their early childhood education
program."
-Jennifer M. Pogers

"I chose Piedmont because I knew I could get help and guidance to
finish my degree. I have been to many other colleges and universities
and I knew from the moment I arrived, it was right for me."

First classes were held at Oconee County High School. Sixty-four students
attended. Class offerings included undergraduate (degree-completion only) in
business, education, and sociology. Graduate classes were offered in secondary
education and early childhood education.

Classes were moved to the newly rented building at 745 Prince Avenue beside
Dunkin Donuts. Piedmont certainly added to the growth of Dunkin Donuts,
with a continual trail of students and faculty back and forth. All classes
were night classes. Undergraduate general education classes were added in
Spanish, Science and Math. Students and faculty quickly learned that the
heating, cooling and roofing at the new building were far from perfect! We
even experienced flooding now and then in the lower part of the building.
The bookstore was a closet, opened by the administrative assistant when a
student came by to purchase a book. After about 2 years, a computer lab was
added that was very helpful. Computers were brought down from Demorest
when the labs in Demorest were upgraded.

Athens was chosen as the site of the first off-campus program of Piedmont
College because of its academic climate, wealth of available resources, and
a perceived need in the area for more opportunities for undergraduate and
graduate programs. The vision, mission and goals of the Athens Center were
developed by Dr. Franklin Shumake and Dr. Sharon Denero, and were in
keeping with the established strategic, "Plan For Piedmont".

Margy Moremen's newsletter for that semester noted "heating and air specialists are in the building this very min
diagnosing the heat and air problems. We anticipate a fix soon, but in the meantime, keep bringing that sweatshirt with you to
class." Despite continued efforts, specialists are still working to fix it. Also, the roof at the Heritage building sprang multiple leaks,
dumping gallons of water on the classrooms upstairs. Students were greeted regularly with buckets and puddles as they entered
their classes. It was not until Fall 2005 that the roof problems were sufficiently addressed and classrooms were dry.

Piedmont began efforts to find new space in order to expand, and became interested in purchasing the space vacated by
the Navy School. But, as additional space became more available, Piedmont opened negotiations with the Prince Ave
Baptist Church to purchase their property.

006:

With great relief, faculty were moved out of the Hancock Ave. rented building and into the Wallace House on the Prince Ave.
Baptist Church property, soon to be owned by Piedmont. Even though offices were cramped and space was tight, faculty were
glad to make the move. Optimism was high for the upcoming property purchase and prospect of real office space in the near
future.

Dr. Mel Palmer was hired as vice president of Piedmont in Athens. Dr. Palmer came with a wealth of experience and great patience,
spearheading the expansion and move into Piedmont Athens new facilities.

i that the Piedmont branch should be established in
Athens, my response was, 1 think there's already a college there. After
more study indicated that there was a place in Athens for a small,
private liberal arts college, I knew it was the right fit.

Piedmont in Athens began with two initiatives: To work with loca
schools to increase the number of people available to serve as

.nd to establish an off campus location that could grow and
be used for many purposes

I am excited about the opportunities for Piedmont in Athen
%ns for the future include adding faculty and offering new

strengthened programs in such areas as criminal justice and hea
are. A graphic design major was added in the fall of 2007. One g h

of the Athens campus is to offer programs that meet the needs of

today's world

I have a lot of dreams for Piedmont in Athens.

"A liberal arts education prepares students for life,
not just for employment. The knowledge and
critical thinking skills one acquires are of immense
importance, regardless of ultimate career choice."

"Georgia is facing a critical teaching shortage

and there are many opportunities for teaching

jobs around the state in all fields. The program

at Piedmont offers a variety of fields that lead to

teacher certification."

"I enjoy my job because of the variety of issues
involved in the daily management of college
administration. I also enjoy the interaction with
bright, energetic and enthusiastic people who
devote their time and efforts to benefit Piedmont
College. To me, contributing to the education of
young people is the noblest of professions."
