Photo of the Week

Shown lining up for buses are some of the more than 500 of Belmont University’s approximately 800 freshmen and transfer students who participated in voluntary community service for about two hours at Edwin and Percy Warner parks in west Nashville and at four Metro parks closer to Belmont’s campus on Monday. The parks clean-up project was part of a week of activities designed to help the students make the transition to college life at Belmont. Click the photo for a larger view.
