DESCRIPTION
Looking back at the past 10 years at Belmont University
Citation preview
When the neW millennium daWned a decade ago, no one could have imagined the changes that would occur at Nashville’s
Belmont University. No one could have predicted the phenomenal growth
Belmont would experience or that this small, private university would
land, as The Tennessean recently noted, the “coup of the decade.”
In his inaugural address on September 25, 2000, new President Bob
Fisher praised Belmont’s rich history and commitment to excellence
while also promising a dynamic vision for the future, a vision that quite
frankly seemed out of reach. His initial dreams were formalized in Vision
2010, a document approved by Belmont’s Board of Trustees that called
for a number of changes in the fabric of the university, including a rise to
national prominence and a significant increase in enrollment as well as
several new and upgraded facilities.
Unquestionably, change was on the horizon at the start of the decade.
Ten years later the word “change” seems a dramatic understatement
when considering the remarkable transformations that have occurred
at Belmont since 2000. Yet despite the university’s evolution, Belmont’s
commitment to its mission remains permanently ingrained.
2000 – 2010
Belmont University is a student-
centered Christian community
providing an academically
challenging education that
empowers men and women
of diverse backgrounds to
engage and transform the world with disciplined
intelligence, compassion, courage and faith. n

i n 2000, Belmont’s student population
hovered just under 3,000. In fall 2009,
Belmont announced that its student
population topped 5,400, an increase
of 81 percent. But those numbers
alone don’t tell the full story. Not only
are more students choosing Belmont, but those
students are coming from an increasingly strong
and talented applicant pool.
These facts haven’t gone unnoticed by Belmont’s
peers as can be seen by the annual U.S. News
and World Report rankings. Consistently the
highest ranked university in Tennessee in the
Master’s South category, Belmont has risen from
the position of 18th in 2000 to 7th in the 2010
listing of America’s Best Colleges. n

For the past two years, U.S. News
and World Report has also praised
Belmont University as one of the
top two schools to watch in the
country, noting the university’s
innovative approach to higher
education in the new millennium. Innovation is
certainly evident in the new programs Belmont has
introduced in the past decade including one of
the only Songwriting majors nationwide, a perfect
addition to the Curb College of Entertainment
and Music Business. The Curb College itself was
established in 2003, the nation’s first college
dedicated to offering comprehensive education
for careers in the entertainment industry.
Belmont is also the first university nationwide
to develop an undergraduate major in the
evolving field of social entrepreneurship,
which tackles social problems and unmet
community needs via entrepreneurial principles.
The interdisciplinary program incorporates
business courses and thematic tracks in the liberal
arts, providing students practical knowledge to
aid in their efforts to use their talents to meet the
world’s needs.

Rendering of the College of Law
Two new graduate programs follow a similar
model by integrating hands-on experience
with demanding academic offerings. Belmont’s
School of Pharmacy, which welcomed its
first class in 2008, enjoys cross-disciplinary
collaborations along with numerous community
and industry relationships to prepare students
for professional practice. Pharmacy faculty and
staff have also established four fundamental
tracks to uniquely guide all aspects of the school
and prepare graduates for an ever-changing
healthcare system: management, informatics,
pharmacotherapy and missions.
Most recently, Belmont announced the launch of
its seventh college and fourth doctoral program.
The first new law school in Middle Tennessee in
nearly 100 years, Belmont’s College of Law will
begin classes in fall 2011 with a focus on educating
its students with the diversity of skills that will
enable them to meet varied challenges across the
legal landscape. Belmont law graduates will be
empowered by their education and co-curricular
experiences to provide legal counsel in a variety
of settings, with a strong commitment to high
standards of expertise and ethics. The College of
Law will be housed on campus in a new building
that will include a state-of-the-art law library. n
a fter joining the Atlantic
Sun Conference in 2001,
Belmont’s student athletes
were thrown into a very large
pond, competing with the
top NCAA Division I athletes
in the country. In 10 short years, Belmont’s men’s
and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s
cross country, men’s tennis, women’s soccer
and volleyball teams have all won conference
titles and competed in their respective NCAA
Tournaments. In fact, the men’s basketball team
landed cards for the Big Dance three years in
a row, garnering international attention for its
near upset over powerhouse Duke in 2008.
To date, Belmont has won a total of 27
conference championships since joining the
Atlantic Sun–the most of any league member
over that span. But no win could ever compete
with the trophy that Belmont’s student athletes
have won seven of the last eight years,
the A-Sun All-Academic Trophy, an award
which further signifies Belmont athletic and
academic prowess. n

Belmont students are well-
known for making an impact
on the lives of Middle
Tennesseans, starting from
their first week on campus.
Each freshman class kicks
off their Belmont career by spending a day of
Welcome Week volunteering their time to more
than 30 area charities collectively. This spirit
of volunteerism doesn’t end with orientation,
as numerous students participate in Bruin
Den Day, a unique opportunity for students to
give back to the local community each spring.
Many student organizations are involved in
“Read with Me,” a 10-year-old event which
encourages neighborhood children to read with
a day of activities to promote family literacy.
Throughout their time at Belmont, students
perform outreach and are involved in engaging
and transforming their Nashville community.
There are many service initiatives that set
Belmont apart, such as sponsoring 100 Kings,
a program that provides academic and cultural
mentoring to African American young men, and
the Hispanic Achievers Program, which promotes
professionalism and academic excellence for
Hispanic youth. Belmont student-athletes organize
“Camp Bruin” each year, conducting games and
activities for students in a local elementary school.
Oftentimes students have the opportunity to take
what they learn in the classroom and use it to help
the community, like Belmont nursing students
helping local Sudanese refugees with basic health
and hygiene needs, or business students working
with English as second language adults to help
them with banking and financial planning.

Belmont’s Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) Team
organizes numerous projects in the community
addressing issues such as refugee resettlement,
financial literacy, business ethics, success skills
and environmental sustainability. Students spend
more than 1,300 volunteer hours a year developing
and completing their projects in addition to their
class work and other extra-curricular activities,
and have received top honors from the national
SIFE organization including Rookie of the Year
team in 2006 and champion of the region in 2006,
2007, 2008 and 2009.
While Belmont’s commitment to community
begins with the neighborhoods adjacent to
campus, it certainly doesn’t end there. Rather,
Belmont’s notion of community extends around
the world. International missions and global
outreach have always been and remain top
priorities for Belmont. Recent trips include
students volunteering at hospices and daycares
in South Africa, partnering with ministries in
Mexico, leading sports camps in Rio de Janeiro,
exploring social reality through visual sociology
in India, and lending health science skills to
patients in Guatemala and Cambodia. n
EntEring 2010, BElmont shows Expansion BEyond what anyone would have dreamed at the start of the decade. In 2003,
the University opened the $52 million Curb Event Center and Beaman
Student Life Center. Three years later came the Gordon E. Inman Center,
providing a state-of-the-art facility for several of Belmont’s Health Science
programs. This fall, the university will open a building for the School of
Pharmacy, creating a venue where students and faculty resources can
intersect to help meet the needs of the community and the world. In
2007, the 350-seat Troutt Theater opened and has since played host to
numerous student productions as well as collaborative efforts with local
professional ensembles.
Moreover, since 2000, Belmont has served its student body with the
addition of 2,000 structured parking spaces and a second phase of
Hillside apartments as well as the construction of new residence halls:
Thrailkill, Kennedy, Maple and two new structures that will welcome more
than 400 students in fall 2010. All together nearly 1,300 residential living
spaces have been added to the university since 2000.

though the past 10 years
have been characterized by
unprecedented growth and
achievement, the University’s
biggest coup topped all
expectations. At the turn of
the century Bob Fisher challenged Mike Curb to
imagine building a state-of-the-art entertainment
and athletic complex on Belmont’s campus, a
5,000-seat arena that might one day host a future
American president. In the fall of 2008, Belmont
hosted the Town Hall Presidential Debate
between then Senators Barack Obama and John
McCain, an event moderated by NBC News’ Tom
Brokaw. Suddenly, Belmont University’s Curb
Event Center was live onscreen in more than 62
million American homes.
Of course, this wasn’t Belmont’s only foray
into the national spotlight in this decade. 2003
marked the first time that the much-heralded
“Christmas at Belmont” concert was broadcast
nationally on PBS. Long known for its top-notch
music and music business programs, Belmont
has helped launch the careers of numerous
artists including Trisha Yearwood, Josh Turner
and “American Idol” finalist Melinda Doolittle,
all of whom have returned home to their alma
mater to host “Christmas at Belmont.” Many
other notable alumni have recognized Belmont
as part of the formula for their success, including
artists Brad Paisley, Steven Curtis Chapman
and Ginny Owens as well as Miss USA 2007
Rachel Smith.

Belmont’s renowned School of Music is
gaining national prominence for more than just
successful alumni. In 2008, Belmont joined an
elite group of only 88 colleges, universities,
conservatories or schools worldwide to have the
distinction of being an All-Steinway School.
Four Belmont faculty members were also
acknowledged for outstanding and innovative
teaching with the awarding of four Tennessee
Professors of the Year in this decade. Additionally,
numerous faculty, students and alumni have
participated in Fulbright programs, the United
States government’s flagship international
exchange program.
BusinessWeek ranked Belmont among “The
Best Undergraduate Business Schools” in the
country in 2008 and 2009, and ranked the part-
time MBA program 18th in the country in 2009.
This decade also saw Belmont’s College of
Business accredited by AACSB International,
the highest level of accreditation possible for
business schools. n
For two years in a row U.S.
News & World Report honored
Belmont University as one of
the top two “Schools to Watch”
nationwide for “leading the pack
in improvements and innovative
changes.” Components of Belmont’s nationally
recognized general education program were
specifically identified as “outstanding examples
of academic programs that are commonly linked
to student success.” In addition, Belmont landed
a ranking of third in its category for its strong
commitment to undergraduate teaching, one of
only 80 colleges and universities nationwide to
be so honored by its peers.
Innovation doesn’t merely come in classes, though.
A Belmont education empowers students to
engage and transform the world by intentionally
intersecting classroom scholarship with practical
experiences. Service-learning courses and
countless volunteer opportunities are presented
to help connect Belmont students to their
community and to demonstrate how their skills
and talents can meet real-life needs.

Experiential learning doesn’t always require a
drive off campus. Business students can take
advantage of the on campus electronic financial
trading room, the first to be opened at a Tennessee
college. Equipped with the latest technology—
including a nine-foot data wall, a 60-inch plasma
monitor and a 12-foot ticker tape lighting up the
back wall—the trading room brings Wall Street
to Belmont Boulevard for students learning
investment and portfolio management.
In addition, approximately 3,500 square feet of
prime retail space has been set aside by Belmont
University for students to use to develop
retail or service businesses. Three student-run
businesses—Boulevard Studios, Buzzy’s candy
store and Feedback Clothing Co.—are currently
operating in this space. In addition, Student
Business Hatcheries provide an environment with
basic resources and support that help students
develop their entrepreneurial ventures.
Belmont’s widely-known Music Business program was
among the first in a long-line of innovative, interdisciplinary
academic programs to link theory and practice. Songwriters,
audio engineers and performers alike enjoy state-of-the-art
recording space in on campus studios and in the Belmont-
owned Ocean Way Studios on Music Row, which operates
as a world-class teaching laboratory while still serving an
impressive client roster. In addition, a partnership between
the Mike Curb Family Foundation, the Country Music Hall of
Fame and Museum and Belmont University allows students
access to historic RCA Victor Studio B where more than
1,000 top 10 hits were recorded by classic artists such as
Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton. n

it’s Been a remarkaBle 10 years in the history
of Belmont University. The past decade was undoubtedly one of
significant transformation, causing many to marvel at Belmont’s
progress and impact. From enrollment and campus growth to athletic
success and community engagement to educational innovations and
peer recognition, Belmont has truly been blessed beyond measure.
Still, one theme is always clear:
it’s not only Where We’ve Been...
it’s Where We’re goingWhile students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends can all take great
pride in this university’s accomplishments in recent years, it’s also easy
to acknowledge that the future looks even brighter. A new building to
house the School of Pharmacy along with a residence hall with spaces
for 400 freshmen will both open this fall. In addition, Belmont’s new
College of Law will welcome its first students in 2011, and those students
will enter a new campus building in fall 2012 that will include a state-of-
the-art law library. Meanwhile, plans for renovating athletic facilities at
Rose Park promise not only new home fields for athletic teams but also
deepened community partnerships with Belmont’s neighbors.
Of course, those are only a few of the plans known to be in place for the
near future. Given Belmont’s history these are sure to represent a mere
tip of the iceberg. With so much growth, so much change, so much
achievement, it leaves one wondering what surprises the next 10 years
could possibly hold....
