Steven Curtis Chapman Appears at Curb College/ASCAP Writers' Night
SCC3crop.jpgBelmont University played host to Sparrow Records recording artist Steven Curtis Chapman on Tuesday evening. Chapman was the guest writer at the Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business ASCAP Writers’ Night Series, a year-long series that gives singer/songwriters at Belmont an opportunity to perform original material in front of a live audience and professionals from the industry.

Steven Curtis Chapman attended Belmont and was part of the Belmont Reasons during his collegiate experience. From the stage, Chapman shared how fellow alumnus Phil Naish heard him perform during his tenure at Belmont, recognized his talent and subsequently produced his first four projects. Chapman was signed to Sparrow Records in the 1980s, after the success of his song “Built to Last.” He has since sold more than nine million records worldwide and has won more Gospel Music Association Dove awards than any artist in history, as well as five Grammy awards.

Curb College Professor Serves as Visiting Scholar in Hong Kong
HK Harbor.jpgDavid Moser, associate professor in the Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business, is spending the Fall 2007 semester as a Visiting Scholar at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. At Lingnan, Moser is teaching a Business Law course and doing research on copyright issues and the Asian entertainment industry.

Including photos of Hong Kong harbor and the Lingnan campus, Moser writes that he's had a great experience so far as a Visiting Scholar. “The students are very attentive in class and seem eager to learn. The majority of students are from Hong Kong, but there’s also some from mainland China as well as exchange students from many other countries. We even have two Belmont students here studying Chinese. I strongly encourage Belmont students to take advantage of the study abroad opportunities we offer, whether in Asia or elsewhere."
