Pair
of Reynolds students honored as Commonwealth Legacy Scholars
Laura Briere (Mechanicsville) and Ashlyn Landrum (Aylett) were recently named as two of 30 Virginia community college students to be honored as a Commonwealth Legacy Scholar recipient during a luncheon ceremony at the Omni Hotel in Richmond. The scholarships recognize students from across the commonwealth who have demonstrated academic excellence during high school as well as a commitment to developing their leadership skills. They will become mentors to future Legacy Scholars as they move through their academic programs and graduate from a Virginia Community College. Each scholarship bears the name of one of many philanthropy leaders who support Virginia’s Community Colleges. Students share life-changing stories at 11th Annual Scholarship Luncheon  “I want you to know that every bit of help counts,” said Ron Ingram, recipient of the Alan Waters Memorial Scholarship. “The scholarships help people like me go to school. I hope to one day teach or open my own business where my two sons will be able to help me run it.” Ingram pictured left with Anita and Craig Waters, is currently working and taking automotive classes.

This program, located on our Downtown Campus on 7th and Jackson Streets, helps 18-24 year-old high school dropouts achieve their GED and prepare for college-level courses or workforce entry. In 2008-09, the interest from the endowment will be used to provide tuition assistance for at-risk young adults and raise the standard of living potential for citizens in Richmond. The Robins Endowment will provide a permanent stream of funding to assist about 40 Middle College graduates transitioning to college each year. First Urban Teachers Institute Funded by The Community Foundation of Greater Richmond Nineteen Richmond Public School Teachers came together in June 2007, to participate in a one week professional development institute hosted by J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College's Center for Teacher Education and supported by Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Education and Richmond City Public Schools. The first Urban Teachers Institute was made possible by funding provided by The Community Foundation of Greater Richmond. Activities included a look at the perceptions of education by students, teachers and administrators presented by performance artist Brooke Haycock of The Education Trust and the development of innovative teaching modules that the nineteen teacher participants are using in their middle school math and science classes. A multi-discipline approach using real world examples that urban students can relate to was used in developing these teaching modules. At the concluding breakfast, the Honorable Ann Holton, First Lady of Virginia, shared her hopes for the future of Richmond's urban students and commended the Institute as an important step toward improving the urban education setting. >> Click here for more on the Urban Teachers Institute Reynolds

faculty shortage Georgiadis Hall dedicated on Parham Road Campus J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College recently recognized the commitment and generosity of Dimitri and Maggie Georgiadis through the naming of “Georgiadis Hall” on the Parham Road Campus. After teaching for free for over 13 years, Dimitri Georgiadis recently pledged more than $1 million to the J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College Educational Foundation to fund scholarships for at-risk youth in the Richmond area. After leading several international companies, including Shering-Plough Corporation and Productos Del Monte, a former subsidiary of R.J. Reynolds Industries based in Mexico City, Georgiadis settled in Richmond, Virginia in 1994. His passion for photography soon lead him to take a class at Reynolds. He never left. In addition to donating equipment to the program and establishing the Maggie & Dimitri Georgiadis Scholarship, he has shared his knowledge of photography with students as a pro-bono faculty member and as program head for more than 13 years. Born in Greece, Georgiadis came to America in 1947 in search of the American dream. He soon discovered that for him the dream would begin with a college education. He attended New York University where he earned a B.S. in International Trade in 1951—the same year he became a U.S. citizen. From there, he studied at the graduate level at the University of Illinois while serving in the U.S. Air Force before beginning his career in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Dimitri and Maggie Georgiadis named 2007 Medallion Society Award recipients The J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College Educational Foundation named Dimitri and Maggie Georgiadis the 2007 Medallion Society Award recipients at the President’s Reception hosted Monday evening, April 2, 2007, by Dr. Gary Rhodes. The Medallion Award is the highest honor that the Foundation can bestow upon an individual, corporation, or foundation for their support of the college. Reynolds Foundation donates $1M to remove
