University leaders share Richmont’s commitment to preparing future counselors and ministry leaders through Christ-centered graduate education.
On June 1, 2026, Richmont Graduate University was featured on 11Alive’s ATL & Co. The segment highlighted Richmont’s commitment to preparing future counselors and ministry leaders to bring hope, healing, and transformation to individuals and communities.
The appearance provided an opportunity to share Richmont’s mission across one of the nation’s largest television markets, serving approximately 6.3 million residents in 55 counties. An accompanying online campaign further expanded visibility, with Richmont’s promotion appearing nearly 455,000 times in just 24 hours.
With nearly two million adults in Georgia experiencing mental health challenges, the need for compassionate, well-trained counselors continues to grow. During the segment, University President Dr. Timothy Quinnan and Vice President of Admissions Michelle West discussed how Richmont is helping meet this need through academic excellence, hands-on clinical training, and a Christ-centered approach to graduate education.
For Richmont, the opportunity was about more than increasing awareness. It was about inspiring individuals who feel called to counseling and ministry to take the next step and discover a place where they can be equipped for their calling while experiencing personal and spiritual growth.
Through a supportive community of experienced counselors, ministers, faculty, and staff who are passionate about helping others, Richmont provides an environment where students can grow, experience personal healing, and prepare to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
Richmont’s School of Counseling reports a 100% job placement rate within six months of graduation, reflecting its commitment to preparing students for successful careers in mental health.
With graduate programs available in Atlanta, Georgia, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and online, Richmont continues to welcome individuals ready to answer the call to serve.
