Looking Forward to Another Great Academic Year!
First Day of Fall Classes
As Belmont welcomes its largest incoming class ever, so are we in the Undergraduate School of Business. We have a very impressive group joining us from 26 states and several countries. This freshmen class is made up of student government leaders, Girls/Boys State delegates, athletes, worship leaders, musicians, community servers, mission trip workers, valedictorians, etc. We are proud to have them with us and look forward to getting to know them better during their time at Belmont!
In addition to new students, we have four accomplished faculty joining us this fall — Colin Cannonier, Assistant Professor of Economics, Dennis Chen, Assistant Professor of Management in International Business, Lora Harding, Assistant Professor of Marketing, and Mark Phillips, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship.
As we continue to innovate and look for the best ways to engage students and equip them for the future, we have added a few new special opportunities for learning. For example, our financial information center, the first educational financial trading classroom in the State of Tennessee, now has four touch screen monitors, enabling students to access a variety of data instantaneously.
In addition, our Center for Entrepreneurship will have two new campus-based businesses up and running this fall — BLVD Music Shop, which just recently opened on Belmont Blvd, and Belmont Apps Development Agency, which is launching in collaboration with alumni who started the app firm Aloompa.
We encourage students to get involved in at least one of our various student organizations this year and take advantage of the excellent internship and service opportunities they have access to. Now is the time to utilize all of the great resources Belmont has to offer!
We wish all of our students, faculty and staff the best as we begin this new academic year together!
