IT'S ALL BELMONT TO ME - Belmont FYI Feature Profile of the Month


It’s All Belmont to Me–that’s exactly what Debate08 was about! As we planned, volunteered and viewed the debate with pride, we exhibited the best of being Belmont. We truly showed the world that "It’s All Belmont to Us," no matter what our role in serving others with cooperation and a spirit of joy. This week we resume the "It's All Belmont to Me" profiles in FYI. Going forward, one faculty or staff member will be profiled per month as a person who exemplifies the guiding principles of "It’s All Belmont to Me."

Walk the Talk

Kim Powell, who works as the enrollment services specialist in University College and has been a part of the Belmont community since 1991, is the first monthly profile for "It’s All Belmont to Me" for the 2008-2009 school year. Kim was nominated for the fifth guiding principle, Walk the Talk.

Kim believes that in order to walk the talk, you must portray and live out everything you say you believe, and it’s important to go out of your way at times and take the extra steps so that the overall experience for students and their families is positive.

“I believe I share a passion for students with other educators and staff members at Belmont,” said Kim. “The students are why we are here. Each student is unique and comes to campus with a unique set of goals and experiences. I believe that it is our role to take each of these, understand the differences, and then work as a team to help the student reach his or her goals.”
