Orientation is underway

Today begins all the freshman and transfer orientation sessions for the summer. Hundreds of new students, parents and family members will be on campus during June. Lots of information will be shared and new friends will be made.

As a parent, this is a tough time. It's so wonderful to see your student make connections that will last throughout this next year and really throughout life. But it's hard to think about them moving to Belmont and away from home. Take lots of time to meet Belmont people while you're here and ask all the questions you can think of to make you comfortable. And remember, you're not alone. 65% of Belmont freshmen come from out of state and 30% come from more than 500 miles away!

We want to hear from you about orientation as well. Please let us know what you found to be helpful and how we can improve to meet your needs.

All the best, Kathy Baugher
