Excellence

We’re proud of what we are accomplishing at Brenau — as an institution and as individuals — and we want to make sure that people know about the great things that our faculty, students and staff are doing . Our strategic plan includes looking at ways that we identify and celebrate excellence throughout the university and nurture opportunities to earn regional and national recognition .

Some of the ways that the institution has been recognized recently include:

Brenau was named a Military Friendly college for the 2022-23 school year by Military Friendly Schools, a designation it has held consistently during the last 10 years . Brenau exceeded all standards and was awarded gold status this year . Brenau’s offerings include a military support team, Student Veterans Association, tuition discounts, veteran student lounges both on campus and online, and the Empowering Veterans speaker series .

Brenau’s chapter of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi earned national recognition after achieving Circle of Excellence gold status for 2021-22 . To receive the award, chapters have to meet certain criteria annually, including holding an initiation ceremony, attending training opportunities and submitting reports on time . By achieving gold status, Brenau scored between 95-99% . Out of more than 300 chapters in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines, Brenau was one of only 23 given gold status . Brenau is also one of two institutions in Georgia to earn the honor .

The Department of Physical Therapy, along with clinical partner Northeast Georgia Health System, joined the American Council of Academic Physical Therapy’s National Consortium of Clinical Educators . The mission of the NCCE is to lead a culture of shared accountability for physical therapy education by connecting stakeholders across academic and practice communities to facilitate integration of the best practices in clinical education .

I just really felt that there were more opportunities here for me at Brenau in my program and in what I wanted to do, than there would’ve been had I gone to another school.”
