Opportunity to volunteer for the Music City J.A.M Festival—Don’t miss it!

Hello Everyone!
I hope you all have had a great summer. I know several of you may not have met me yet, so let me introduce myself to you. My name is Troy Akers and I am the president of Belmont’s Service Corps, the Music Business volunteer organization on campus boasting a regular membership of over 200 students. We have been privileged with working many prominent events in Nashville and the surrounding cities like CMA Festival and Tin Pan South. As you may know, our registration for Fall will begin shortly after school resumes. HOWEVER, we have a wonderful opportunity to take part in the annual Music City J.A.M Festival held at Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville. We will be able to utilize several positions, by nearly staffing the entire event. Everything from Ticket Takers to Merchandise Handlers. Each day nearly 40 volunteers will be needed.

I know you may be thinking, “I’m not a member of Service Corps, yet, nor have I heard of it before!” Well, if you are either of those do not worry, we will gladly take you on and just consider this a great chance to get to know the team and see what it is to work your hardest out in this amazing city for the Industry.

Email me at troyakers@gmail.com if you are interested!

BELMONT SUMMER STUDY ABROAD: HONG KONG, CHINA

WHAT?

A new 2008 summer study abroad program in Hong Kong, China. Students spend 4 weeks taking classes in Hong Kong at Lingnan University (overlooking the Hong Kong harbor). Class sessions will be supplemented with business visits and cultural and historical attractions.

WHERE?

Once home to pirates and the opium trade, modern Hong Kong is a booming metropolis and one the world’s busiest business centers. The former British colony was returned to China in 1997, but is still allowed a great deal of independent rule by the Chinese government. The result is a unique combination of East and West, with more tall buildings than New York City and bustling shopping markets selling everything under the sun contrasted with the rural splendor of mountains, beaches and outlying islands.

WHEN?

July 5th to August 3rd, 2008.

WHY?

Hong Kong is the business hub of Asia, the home of one of the largest shipping ports in the world, and one of the leading centers of the Asian music and film industries. Asia, and China in particular, is believed to hold the greatest potential for growth of the music industry as well as many other industries and business enterprises today must have a China strategy. You also get substantial tuition savings by studying abroad since summer tuition for study abroad courses is one-third of normal summer tuition. For example, if you took 2 summer classes at Belmont, tuition would be $4320 (based on 2007 summer tuition). If you took 2 classes in Hong Kong, tuition of $1440 (2007 rate) plus the tentative program fee of $4350, equals a total cost of $5790. The difference of $1,470 is a bit less than the current price for a round-trip ticket to Hong Kong and will cover not only airfare, but also 4 weeks accommodations, most meals, business and cultural visits, and more!
