It’s All Belmont To Me – Belmont FYI Feature Profile of the Week

Make It Seamless
This week’s Belmont FYI feature profile of the week is Dr. Andy Watts, Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics. Andy is in his second year at Belmont and was nominated for the fourth guiding principle – “Make it Seamless” – for his work in the School of Religion.
Andy says that for something to be seamless means that there is no rupture or definitive break, so he strives to make the process of learning and teaching joyfully fluid. “I do my best not to separate religion or ethics from other disciplines,” Andy said. “The environment of the classroom depends upon the expertise of the staff at Belmont as well as the expertise and scholarship of my colleagues in other disciplines.”
“I see my place at Belmont as if I were acting in a really crazy but well written play, and I get to play the role of theological companion with the students,” Andy said.

Do you know a Belmont employee who embodies one of the five Guiding Principles? Nominate them for a Belmont FYI Feature Profile of the Week! Please send their name and a brief description of how they meet the criteria to the It’s All Belmont to Me Committee for consideration.
