Brenau University II


Mr. Fischer, I just saw your posting about your visit to Brenau. I’m delighted you enjoyed our campus. We hope you will come back soon.


I did want to clarify that technically only the evening and weekend programs in Gainesville and three other Georgia cities and the online programs are co-educational. The women’s college remains single gender. We are a bit sensitive about that because there are so few single-gender institutions left – about 53 compared with more than 300 when I was in school back in the day. Fortunately, Brenau Women’s College has enjoyed an unprecedented growth spurt – about 50 percent in the last four years.

Thank you, Mr. Morrison, for taking the time to clarify the college's single genderedness. With your permission, I would like to post your email message verbatim, along with another photo, but only with your permission. It is rare, indeed, and well worth pointing out.


Mrs. Fischer and I were blown away by the quality of the History Center -- the quality of architectural space as well as the quality of presentation. It appears that no expense was spared in putting all that together. We looked across the street at the performing arts center and said, "Wow, isn't that a beautiful building!" Our blog is for family and friends as we knock around Northeast Georgia.


Thanks again, George Fischer.
