Belmont Concludes Homecoming Week 2023

Belmont University celebrated its 2023 Homecoming week with festivities Wednesday, Feb. 8 through Saturday, Feb. 11. Homecoming provides an opportunity for alumni, students, faculty and staff to celebrate university life and honor the more than 130 years of innovative and educational excellence at Belmont. 
 
“No matter where our lives have taken us since graduating from Belmont, so many paths began in this shared place where we discovered more deeply who we were and who we wanted to be,” said Chip Hayner, Director of Alumni & Family Engagement and the Executive Director of the Belmont University Alumni Association. “What makes Homecoming special is the opportunity for all of us as members of the Belmont community to realize how many of our individual paths now share common crossings, connecting us across generations, professions and life seasons. We’re excited to create meaningful spaces during Homecoming for you to experience these connections anew and remember why it’s so good to be part of the Belmont community.”  

New events this year included an all-alumni reunion brunch open house in the Fisher Center’s grand foyer and an alumni after-party at GEODIS Park’s Valkyrie Premier Club.  

Various colleges and campus groups held networking and continuing education events along with WELL-Core events for students throughout the week.

Men fell to Missouri State by two points Wednesday on the road but defeated the University of Illinois Chicago for a Saturday win at home.  

Belmont on Friday marked Women’s Basketball matriarch “Belmont Betty” Wiseman’s 80th birthday where birthday video vignettes played throughout the game against Evansville. Students and fans donned their best Betty outfits, complete with white curly-haired wigs and celebrated with cupcakes after the game. Wiseman’s 80th birthday is Sunday, Feb. 19.  

In addition to the signature basketball events, the University continued festivities with a slate of annual activities including the homecoming parade, Men’s Basketball watch party at Bottle Cap, alumni non-profit fair, homecoming chapel, Tower Society Reunion and more.

Operation Song and Belmont Unite to Inspire Hope and Healing for Nashville’s Veterans

Operation Song and Belmont Unite to Inspire Hope and Healing for Nashville’s Veterans

Music therapy has been utilized as a form of healing in the military for more than 70 years. The practice dates to 1945 when the U.S. War Department issued a bulletin highlighting a program using music therapy to aid recovering service members convalescing in Army hospitals. Music Therapy as a modern occupation can be traced back to a desire to give back to those who have served. Today, Belmont University and Operation Song, a local nonprofit public charity, are dedicated to the same mission.  

Operation Song was founded in 2012 by Bob Regan, a former Belmont Songwriting adjunct instructor, who first developed the idea while performing at Armed Forces Entertainment Tours around the world. Throughout these tours, Regan had the opportunity to speak with veterans and active-duty service members and saw how their stories and experiences had the potential to inspire compelling songs. He also recognized that many veterans were in the process of transitioning back to “normal life” after deployment and thought a program such as Operation Song could be beneficial.  

Holding to the motto “bringing them back, one song at a time,” Operation Song started with group writing sessions taking place at VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro, TN and gradually evolved to focus on individual veterans and stories. To date, the organization has written more than 1,000 songs with veterans spanning from World War II to those currently serving. Operation Song’s mission is to empower veterans, active-duty military and their families to tell their stories through songwriting. No songwriting—or general writing—experience is needed for veterans, as that is where Belmont comes in.  

Belmont’s Songwriting program has partnered with Operation Song since 2015 to host co-write events where professional songwriters, Belmont songwriters and veterans combine forces to inspire hope and healing through music. In recent years, student veterans have become increasingly more engaged in the Operation Song initiative through Belmont’s Bruin Vets program, creating a deeper connection between the two organizations. 

Most recently, Belmont’s Songwriting program and The Nashville Songwriters’ Hall of Fame hosted Operation Song for their annual writing retreat in October 2022. One professional songwriter and one Belmont senior Songwriting major paired with veterans to tell their experiences through music.  

Aeva Willis is vice president of Bruin Vets at Belmont and participated in the writing workshop in October. She recently transferred to Belmont and is still settling into her first year here. After first hearing about Operation Song through the Bruin Vets Center—a space on campus for student veterans to congregate and do homework, find support, or simply hang out—Willis recalled, “I had no idea what to expect.” However, being an Audio Engineering major and a singer-songwriter, she knew she’d feel at home. “I was new to Belmont and wanting to do something fun.”

The workshop turned out to be a wonderful experience for her. She appreciated the chance to connect with other veterans and network with professional songwriters.  

When sitting down to write a song about her experience in the military, she said, “I decided to go a little bit of a different route. I wasn’t sure how to put my experience into a song, but I knew that through my experience, my faith had grown even stronger.”  

With this in mind, she and multi-platinum songwriter Wil Nance decided to write a Christian-Country tune chronicling her journey from the Navy to Belmont. Although she’s spent plenty of time writing music, she had never had an opportunity like this to work with professionals in the industry.  

“I was shocked when I got there and found out who my songwriter was,” she said. “I’ve heard all his songs, and I love them. It just made it even better.”  

Willis spoke of the impact that Operation Song and Belmont’s partnership has had on veterans. “It was a life-altering perspective switch to be in the room with someone who’s done this before. There is proof by millions of copies sold that the way Wil writes has connected with someone. Not only someone but millions of people! It was a humbling but inspiring moment.”  

She described having the opportunity to perform her song for her peers as “the cherry on top.” 

She took the performance as an opportunity to pour out everything she needed to say. Willis said that her song “God Never Sleeps,” is about feeling uneasy about the future, worried, and wanting to predict what will happen. The song is a reflection on letting go and letting God watch over her. 

With plans to professionally record the song and release it soon, Willis is excited about what the future holds and feels that Belmont and Operation Song’s partnership is a positive force in the Nashville veteran community. “To be in Nashville, to be new to Belmont, and to have the opportunity to work with a professional, it was very motivating and inspiring.”  

Belmont Partners with Tennessee Higher Education Prison Initiative to Support Prison Education Efforts

Belmont Partners with Tennessee Higher Education Prison Initiative to Support Prison Education Efforts 

Faculty in Belmont University’s Massey College of Business, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Theology and Christian Ministry began participating in a pilot prison education program in partnership with the Tennessee Higher Education Prison Initiative (THEI) by providing coursework for currently incarcerated students at the Turney Center Industrial Complex in Only, TN. 

THEI works to disrupt systems of harm and create opportunities for autonomy and success by providing college access to people inside Tennessee prisons, preparing students for skillful re-entry and reducing barriers to continued education and achievement. 

Many colleges and universities offer certificates and credentials that enable incarcerated persons to enhance their skills, but few programs offer higher education degrees. 

Belmont’s prison education program currently has twenty-three students enrolled at the Turney Center and working on completing a Professional Bachelor of Business Administration from Belmont in an online, asynchronous mode. These junior and senior level students all previously earned their associate degree in business administration through Nashville State Community College. 

Dr. Jim McIntyre, Dean of the College of Education and Assistant Provost for Academic Excellence was recently appointed to help facilitate the program. “This is truly a mission-driven initiative,” he said. “As we think about being able to really transform lives, I can’t think of anything more powerful than this type of education and enlightenment. We have the ability to not only teach but also bring some extraordinary faculty members who have such a great perspective on life and faith and learning to interact with the students who are incarcerated. It’s literally life-changing.” 

Ninety percent of currently incarcerated individuals will eventually be released. Education has proven to be an effective tool for decreasing recidivism and ensuring individuals have resources that set them up for success once they are released from prison, so they don’t return. THEI has facilitated associate and bachelor’s degrees for incarcerated students in Tennessee for over a decade. In that time, no graduate has ever been re-incarcerated. 

“That’s an astonishing number,” Dr. Jayme Yeo, assistant professor in Belmont’s College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences said. Yeo became involved with the program to make an impact on incarcerated students, “but I have discovered that it is my students who have changed me. They have taught me to believe that education can transform our world by showing me the deep grace of learning in community.” 

The benefits of education programs at correctional facilities don’t stop at a significant reduction in recidivism rates. Reincarceration is expensive, and low recidivism saves the state money. According to THEI’s data, on average, the savings amount to $24,333 a year for each student. Moreover, prison education work aligns with Belmont’s strategic objective of helping reweave the social fabric and radically champion the pursuit of life abundant for all people. 

“Incarceration perpetuates generational trauma by separating families,” Yeo said. “Degree-granting higher education programs offer hope by empowering incarcerated parents to model transformative change for their children. Prison higher education programs foster generational healing that gives families a lifeline out of the school-to-prison pipeline.” 

A proposal was recently submitted that outlined potential next steps for the prison education program at Belmont requesting specific components including potentially identifying staff support, engaging stakeholders and examining resource needs.   

“This is really good work that Belmont is doing at the Turney Center,” McIntyre said. “There is an interest in doing more. We are in a moment where we are proud of the work that is happening. We see a lot of success and effectiveness. We want to make sure that we continue that work and maintain that level of excellence.” 

Cody Fry Honored with School of Music’s 2023 Curtain Call Award

Cody Fry Honored with School of Music’s 2023 Curtain Call Award

Belmont University’s School of Music honored 2012 alumnus Cody Fry with the 2023 Curtain Call Award, given annually to recognize achievement in the field of commercial and popular music. The award, in its 28th year, comes on the heels of Fry’s sold-out 60-piece orchestral show in Belmont’s Fisher Center and a two-night run at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.  

“One of the real treasures of our institution is our alumni,” said Dr. Stephen Eaves, Dean of the College of Music and Performing Arts. “Our alumni represent us to the world of professional musicians, they enrich the educational lives of our current students, and they create a wonderful web of networking for our new graduates. We’re excited to honor Cody and are so proud of what our commercial music majors have done in the music industry.”  

Fry—a singer-songwriter, composer, arranger, producer and Grammy-nominated artist—received the award at an event on Tuesday, Feb. 7 in Massey Performing Arts Center. “I want to say thank you to the College of Music and Performing Arts for this honor. It’s surreal to be back here for such an occasion,” he said.  

With a diverse musical skillset, Cody’s career accomplishments are far-reaching and include orchestration, arranging, producing, writing and performing. After his song “I Hear a Symphony” went viral on TikTok—the album with the same name is now certified gold—Fry started a new chapter of his career with “Symphony Sessions,” an orchestral collection of new songs and new arrangements of old songs. His cover of The Beatles’ famed “Eleanor Rigby” earned him a Grammy nomination in the “Best Arrangement, Instruments & Vocals” category. In addition, Cody has written music for everything from national ad campaigns to video games, apps, fashion events, corporate scoring work for brands like Netflix and Google, and even a Super Bowl commercial for McDonald’s.  

During his speech, Cody imparted wisdom on how to make it in the music industry. “Don’t limit yourself to one skill. Learn as many skills as possible. Songwriting, music production, vocal editing, audio engineering, guitar and piano playing, music directing, vocal sight-reading, arranging, orchestration, film scoring, ProTools, Logic, Photoshop, video editing, music notation, conducting… I could keep going,” he said. “But the crux is this: these are all skills I’ve been paid to use at some point in my career, all of which has helped me avoid having to take a job outside of the music industry. Just like stocks, a diversified skill portfolio is more likely to make you successful in the long run.”  

Relationships Cody made at Belmont have played crucial roles in his career, many of which served as stepping stones from one project to the next. “The most extraordinary part of your college experience is the people around you. The people in this room are going to go on to win Grammys, to be music directors, to rack up millions of streams on Spotify, to write hit songs, to teach and to do incredible things,” he said. “It might sound obvious but be friends with those people! This is when you create the community that will launch your career. Be generous with your time, collaborate and play music with as many people as you can.” 

Fry joins the likes of influential songwriters, instrumentalists, vocalists and industry leaders who have received the award previously. Past honorees include Josh Turner, Melinda Doolittle, Russell Dickerson, Ginny Owens, Alvin Love III, Dwan Hill, Tammy Rogers King and others.

Africa’s Yeli Ensemble Hosts Master Class for Belmont Dance Students

Africa’s Yeli Ensemble Hosts Master Class for Belmont Dance Students 

Rhythmic drumming to a West African cadence pulsated through the Troutt black box theater on Friday, February 3 as Belmont dance students followed the mimed instructions of Mohammed ‘Dho’ Cisse, a West African master dancer from Guinea.  

Cisse was accompanied by three master African percussionists. Ibrahima Dioubate is also from Guinea. Sory Diabate and Agathe Moubemb are from France. Together, the four master artists make up the Yeli Ensemble. The ensemble is in the full swing of a three-month artistic residency in Nashville that includes drum and dance classes, workshops, recording sessions, collaborations and public performances.  

Nashville dancer and choreographer Windship Boyd is the main organizer for the Yeli Ensemble, exposing Americans to their African styles in classrooms and venues all over the city. The African drum and dance tradition is matriarchal to many American techniques like tap and jazz. Boyd’s goal is to see the African technique be appreciated and respected as more than just a “one-off” experience.  

“I want people to appreciate African dance more because it’s an incredible dance that people don’t do on a regular basis,” Body said. “People always love it, and then they go on with their lives and they forget about it because it’s not there all the time.”

The Yeli Ensemble will return to lead several additional lessons with Belmont dance students. Building on the choreography taught in the first session, the dancers will present their work in the Mixed Bill spring concert on April 14-16 in Troutt theater. 

“I took two dance classes last semester that were both very technical, so it was really nice to do something a little different and out of my comfort zone,” freshman fashion design major Ashlee Elliot said. “I’ve taken a few African dance classes in the past, so it was nice to do it again and be in such a great uplifting environment.”  

A main collaborator for the Yeli Ensemble, Africa Nashville is an organization with the goal of promoting cross-cultural relationships between celebrated African and American artists and providing hands-on artistic and educational exchanges from their respective cultures through music and dance.  

The Yeli Ensemble will lead several events open to the public through March including public dance classes: Mondays at Sevier Park Community Center at 11 a.m. and Wednesdays at Coleman Community Center at 7 p.m.  Visit africanashville.com/events to see a full event schedule.

Ocean Way Nashville Announces New Director of Studio Operations

The Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business has named Joe Baldridge as Director of Studio Operations at Ocean Way Nashville, replacing Pat McMakin, who retired in September. A Belmont alumnus, Baldridge most recently served as Instructor of Audio Engineering Technology while maintaining a noteworthy professional career.

In addition to teaching, Baldridge has a storied audio engineering career of 35 years stacked with multiple number-one hits. He boasts nearly 600 credits on All Music, earned a Dove Award for his work with TobyMac, and a Grammy nomination for his work on Taylor Swift’s album “Red.”

“Joe has a fantastic balance of vast commercial and teaching experience and is a highly respected faculty member in our field,” said Michael Janas, Audio Engineering Program Chair and Instructor of Audio Engineering Technology. “With a combination of 35 years of professional experience and more than 13 years in the classroom, he understands the highest level of skill needed to succeed in the industry as well as what it takes for students to reach that level.”

Ocean Way Nashville, designed by award-winning recording engineer Allen Sides and purchased by Belmont in 2001, is the number one tracking room in Nashville and a world-class teaching facility that also serves an impressive client roster. Housed in a 100-year-old Gothic revival gray stone church, Ocean Way Nashville provides an exceptional acoustical space, all in the rich visual beauty of a sanctuary. The studio serves a diverse list of clients spanning various styles from pop/rock to country to classical. Besides being a sought-after space for full band tracking, Ocean Way Nashville has become an internationally favored destination for orchestral recording and scoring for today’s most popular films and video games.

“Ocean Way isn’t just a world-renowned studio; it’s also a space for students to learn and hone their crafts,” said Dr. Sarita Stewart, who is the interim dean of Curb College “We’re excited for Joe to continue leveraging the Ocean Way name to bring more eyes to Belmont. After a national search, it was clear he was the best person to fill the role.”

Baldridge will still be in the classroom through an adjunct role teaching master mixing techniques, a course he designed that meets at Ocean Way.

“We have an excellent team here built on a solid reputation created by those who came before us,” said Baldridge. “We are excited to continue to serve recording arts and grow Ocean Way Nashville to a home for creatives from all over the world to do their best work.”

In addition to Baldridge, Ocean Way recently hired Austin Atwood, a 2012 music business alumnus, to serve as studio manager and promoted Jamie Warden to business manager.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Love’s Labor’s Lost brings a romantic comedy to Belmont University’s Troutt Theater. This co-production between Belmont University’s College of Music & Performing Arts and the Nashville Shakespeare Festival will open Feb. 16. 

Love Labor’s Lost’s cast includes two professional actors, Dan Kassis and Mary D.

Katie Fraley is a junior theatre performance and political science double major, who plays the role of Maria in the show. “This show and its process have been the cornerstone of these past few months for me. Getting to work with this amazing cast and director has been a precious gift that I could not have imagined,” she said. 

After a three-year hiatus from traditional Winter Shakespeare programming due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Nashville Shakespeare Festival is enthusiastic about returning to in-person live performances at the Troutt. “We are all yearning for authentic connection. Humans need that. That is what live theatre is all about: art happening in real time in the same room as the audience. A shared, meaningful experience is good for the soul,” said Nashville Shakespeare Festival’s Executive Artistic Director Denice Hicks. 

Love’s Labor’s Lost will run Feb. 16-26. Ticket prices start at $18, and VIP Royal Packages are available for purchase. For more information on the production, including performance dates and times, visit nashvilleshakes.org/winter-shakespeare.

Belmont and Fisk Universities Announce Social Justice Collaborative

Belmont University and Fisk University announced today the Belmont-Fisk Social Justice Collaborative, a partnership between the universities designed to promote social justice through exposure to civil rights and social justice movements across Middle Tennessee. 

The donor funded collaborative was created to educate, empower and inspire students through a mutual respect for humanity. Designed as a course that students from both Universities will enroll in together, participants will immerse themselves in the state’s civil rights history.  

Belmont University Journalism Professor Dr. Sybril Brown created the course, in partnership with Fisk University Associate Professor and Chair of Behavioral Sciences Dr. Rolande Dathis and Distinguished Associate Professor in the Graduate Program in Social Justice Dr. Ricardo Guthrie.  

Over the course of the semester, enrolled students will visit both campuses, a variety of museums and libraries and will interview social justice advocates across decades. Numerous guest speakers including the Rev. Dr. Bernard Lafayette, co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and part of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s inner circle, are also slated to participate in the project. The semester will culminate with the creation of a few projects including an e-book, a commemorative website, video vignettes and a pop-up museum digital experience. There are 25 students enrolled in the respective courses. 

As part of the experience, students will travel to Black Mountain, NC for the Ignite Retreat, an immersive experience designed to teach students how to create change in their communities. This trip will be led by Dr. Bernard Turner, associate professor and program director of social entrepreneurship in the Jack C. Massey College of Business. 

Other activities will include The Belmont-Fisk Spring 2023 Hackathon, offering an opportunity for both campus communities to come together and create data-driven solutions based on social evidence. The event will be co-lead by Dr. Dennis Chen, Belmont Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Management and International Business, in partnership with Fisk John Lewis Center for Social Justice Tech/Data Science Fellow, Lena Winfree.  

The fostering and advancement of social justice through this partnership directly supports Belmont’s strategic trajectory to 2030, including the University’s emphasis to embrace hope and inclusive excellence. “Our commitment to reweaving the social fabric through hope and inclusive excellence begins with a thorough and thoughtful examination of the past, reflecting on areas where imbalance and inequality have persisted,” said Dr. Susan West, Executive Vice President for Administration, Chief of Staff and Chair of Belmont’s Diversity Council. “Only with this acknowledgement can we move forward, remaining accountable as we learn along the way.” 

The official launch of the partnership will be celebrated at a co-organized reception on Feb 9. from 3 to 6pm in the Civil Rights Room at the Nashville Public Library. Tours of the Civil Rights Room and the Women’s Voting Rights Exhibit will begin at 3 pm, with a program to follow at 4:30pm. All are invited to attend.

Belmont Story Review Receives Highest Honor for REALM Contest

Belmont Story Review (BSR) has been recognized by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) as a REALM First Class magazine. This year, schools in 42 states and five countries nominated 262 student magazines ranging from middle school to higher education. Of those, 38 magazines were awarded the contest’s highest distinction, REALM First Class. 

The REALM program publicly recognizes excellent literary magazines produced by students with the support of their teachers. REALM is designed to encourage all schools to develop literary magazines that celebrate the art and craft of writing.  

“It’s an immense honor to receive the REALM First Class award from NCTE,” said assistant professor Sara Wigal, BSR editor and media studies department chair. “Each year, Belmont publishing students work so hard to produce a professional-caliber literary journal and having that recognized on the national scale will bring a smile to our faces for the rest of this semester. We are grateful and will be reading a lot of poetry and prose in the coming months to celebrate and settle on the selections for our 2023 volume.” 

Established in 2016, Belmont Story Review is a national magazine of literary arts, faith and culture, charming readers through diverse storytelling including fiction, personal essay and poetry.  

BSR was founded by Richard Sowienski who served as the first editor of the magazine and former director of publishing. Today, it operates as a practicum course where students gain hands-on experience running a magazine with senior Sophie Slusher serving as managing editor. Primarily student-run, the magazine is open to all students who have taken the prerequisite publishing process course.  

BSR’s eighth volume is set to publish in August 2023 and has received a record-breaking number of submissions: 698 prose and 503 poetry. Submissions are not open to Belmont students or faculty—although alumni of four years or more can submit—and contributors are paid.
