Dear Parents & Families,

Welcome to Belmont's newest avenue of communication, designed specifically for parents and families to stay connected to the life of the university. The monthly e-newsletter will provide information regarding feature stories, upcoming events and programs, and resources.

Transition Issues

Spring Break is right around the corner. Most students have been thinking about any number of options they might have; going home, staying on-campus to make extra money, or heading to the beach with friends. This is a great opportunity to talk about their plans, as well as share your expectations about things like financing a trip or what they might do if they come home.
