Belmont Celebrates Black History Month 2021

Belmont University celebrated Black History Month throughout February 2021 with special events to engage and educate students, faculty and staff. The University recognizes the month as “a celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of blacks in U.S. history.”

Mary Clark in the Office of Multicultural Learning and Experience shared, “Black History Month is important because it affords us to turn an additional spotlight to the accomplishments, legacies and significant contributions of Black Americans. One of my favorite parts of the celebration is the opportunity to provide knowledge and experiences that are new and different to the campus.”

The celebration kicked off with month-long exhibits that were on display throughout campus to commemorate and celebrate black Americans:

  • The History of Black History Month was a poster series explaining the founding, evolution and significance of Black History Month that was put on display all throughout campus. 
  • Black History Month Literature was a table display in the Gabhart Center lobby that sought to inform readers on the black experience in America through literature. 
  • Belmont’s Portraits of Excellence highlighted the impact and contributions of black Americans and was put on display all throughout campus. 

Black History Month started with a chapel featuring Jason Curry, chaplain of Fisk University, in “My Grace is Sufficient: Toward a Chrisitan Understanding of God’s Ontology.” The chapel discussed the essence of ‘God is love’ and how His love is “able to liberate humanity from a tribal understanding of God that dominates our extant political, religious and racial discourse.”

The month also featured a panel titled “Being Black at Belmont,” put on by the Black Student Association and Student Activities Programming Board. SAPB Director Ashley Wearren shared, “We felt like this was an important event to put on with BSA because creating community is not only about fun events with free stuff, it’s also about bringing people together to educate and bring awareness to marginalized issues and groups within that community.”

“A Century Change: The Negro League Centennial Celebration” was hosted by the Office of Multicultural Learning and Experience where students learned more about the impact of the Negro League. The office also hosted The Langston Hughes Project in collaboration with the Black Student Association. The event featured Ron McCurdy, professor of music at the University of Southern California, who shared a performance commemorating the work of Hughes. 

“My grandmother always told me that if you don’t stand for anything, you’ll fall for anything,” shared McCurdy in the event, as he reminded students, faculty and staff that there is no age requirement to being passionate about something. 

Black History Month came to a close with a historical presentation on the legacy of black Greek Letter organizations in America, “The Divine 9: American Legacies,” and chapel “The Courage To Be,” hosted by preacher Nicole Tolliver Minister at the Grove Nashville.

The University thanks students, faculty and staff for their commitment to creating a celebratory and educational Black History Month for the Belmont community.

Belmont to Celebrate Women’s History Month in March: Life from the Margins

Belmont to Celebrate Women’s History Month in March: Life from the Margins

Throughout history, women have lived much of their lives relegated to the margins of society – without power, influence and often adequate resources. And yet, women have worked diligently to create space for the flourishing of their families and communities—finding hope, healing and purpose as they care for and pay attention to those on the margins. This March, the Belmont community will have the opportunity to hear the stories of women whose work and life seeks to lift up and make space for all people as the University celebrates Women’s History Month.

In the midst of the pandemic, the world turned its eyes on those on the margins of society and saw how they have been disproportionally impacted. As a member of Belmont’s Women’s History Month Committee, University Minister Heather Daugherty explained how the group was reminded this past year that women throughout history have generally been on the margins of our society and still managed to stay strong, survive and to flourish. 

“Most of the time when a woman flourishes, she brings along with her an entire community – and so we wanted to have conversations that center women, that highlight their work and that inspire us to continue to live out their legacy of caring for those on the margins of our lives and society,” Daugherty said. “Our hope for our events is that students will celebrate the way that each of the women we highlight is being used by God and seek to find ways that God might be calling them to engage and transform the world around them.”

A schedule of events is listed below. Although disappointing that the events will all be virtual this year, as Belmont wants students to be able to interact with speakers fact-to-face, the Zoom environment does allow students to hear from speakers across the country, and many more students will have access to see their presentations later. All of the events will be available on Bruinlink and on Blackboard for students to access, but anyone is able to attend using the zoom links included in this list.

Wednesday, March 10 at 2 p.m.

CHAPEL: A Space for Love: Cultivating Community Among the Margins with Emily Mills (Zoom link)

Emily Mills, founder and chief ideation officer of Jesus Said Love/Lovely Enterprises, will share her journey of working with survivors of sexual exploitation for the last 15 years and how they have determined the trajectory for JSL. Mills will weave together story and data compelling us to love radically, cultivate community among the margins and create a space for love big enough for every individual. Co-sponsored by the Women’s History Month Committee.

Wednesday, March 17 at 3 p.m.

Asian Christian Art: Matter + Spirit with Professor Suki Kwon and Dr. Rachel Smith. (Zoom link)

Suki Kwon is an artist who has lived and had her works exhibited in her native Korea, as well as Japan, China, England and the United States. She is assistant professor of design at the University of Dayton. Belmont University’s Leu Art Gallery features her work this semester in the exhibit “Matter + Spirit,” which is curated by Dr. Rachel Smith, Gilkison Distinguished Professor of Art History at Taylor University and artistic director for the Nagel Institute for World Christianity. Co-sponsored by the Watkins College of Art and the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Asian Studies Program.

Wednesday, March 24 at 3:30 p.m

CHAPEL: From the Margins: The Origins of Christian Feminism (Zoom link)

Feminism is often thought of in a negative context within the church. Dr. Du Mez will explore how it was often women on the margins who found in the Christian scriptures sources of empowerment and helped build a tradition of Christian feminism. Co-sponsored by the Women’s History Month Committee.

Thursday, March 25 at 3:15 p.m.

CHAPEL: Parable of the Brown Girl (Zoom link)

Imago Dei, a theological term rooted in Genesis 1:27, says human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. While this is a fascinating concept, humans have struggled to conceptualize what it truly means as it relates to themselves as individuals and other humans and living creatures. Young Black girls, specifically, fail to receive the message that they, too, are made in the image of God. Their lived experiences are often overlooked, unseen and ignored rather than valued and heard. In this talk, Rev. Khristi Adams will magnify the struggles, dreams, wisdom and dignity of these voices and demonstrate how the narratives we most often ignore can teach us the most important lessons in life. Co-sponsored by the Women’s History Month Committee.

Belmont Songwriting Students, Faculty Take Part in Virtual Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival

Belmont songwriting students Sydnee Conley, Max Woolery, SJ McDonald and Phoebe Scott are competing in the annual Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival which will take place on March 5. Due to the pandemic travel restrictions, the festival will be held virtually this year with activities starting through their website on March 4.

The partnership between Belmont Songwriting and the Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival began in 2016 when Department Chair James Elliott led a Spring Break trip to Belfast where students performed at the festival. Belmont Songwriting faculty Drew Ramsey, Jodi Marr and Thomm Jutz will also be a part of the festival by teaching songwriting workshops prior to the festival.  

One of the highlights of the festival for Northern Ireland songwriters is that most years a select group of them come to Nashville the week after the event to perform and meet with industry leaders. Since 2016, part of those trips has been a performance in the Curb Café and visits with Belmont songwriting faculty and students.

The Panarts Director Colin Magee shared, “We are so pleased that our partnership with Belmont continues to grow, even in these difficult times. Our hope for the future is that we can meet up in person next year in both Belfast and Nashville to continue the important work of encouraging young people to be creative and to write great songs.”

All of their performances have been pre-recorded and will be on the festival website at the scheduled times.

Belmont School of Music’s Sorority, Fraternity Help Package Emergency ToolKits for Nashville Community

The Belmont community pitched in to assemble extra Cold Weather Patrol emergency kits for Nashville’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM). Rusty King, production and facilities manager in the School of Music, has been a volunteer for the Nashville Office of Emergency Management’s Emergency Support Unit (ESU) for the past five years and saw a need for more tool kits this winter. He quickly recruited servant-hearted faculty, staff and students at Belmont to help with the labor in assisting the greater Nashville community. 

The Emergency Support Unit is comprised of six to eight squads with more than 50 volunteers who donate their time to check on homeless camps all over Davidson county on the coldest nights. During the patrols, volunteers ask about health and wellness, offer transport to warming shelters and distribute items such as blankets, water bottles and Gatorade.

Three years ago, King was approached by Dr. Terry Klefstad, associate professor in the School of Music, as her children were assembling packages with hand-warmers, socks, wipes and packaged food to pass out to people in need on the streets of Nashville. King and Klefstad quickly found a way to collaborate, and the first winter, Klefstad and her family made 100 of the convenience kits for the Cold Weather Patrols to distribute. The kits became known as the “Belmont Convenience Kits.”

This year, King and Klefstad needed more help to assemble the packages and used their resources at Belmont to accomplish this task. Serving as the faculty advisor for the music sorority Sigma Alpha Iota and the music fraternity Phi Mu Alpha, Klefstad and King presented this volunteer opportunity to safely assemble boxes with items provided by University Ministries. The Belmont students packaged together 300 Belmont Convenience Kits that were distributed to homeless communities in the midst of Nashville’s snowstorm.

“I’m really proud that Belmont supports our individual missions to serve our communities. If a Belmont family is involved in a crisis anywhere on this globe, there is someone we know that can reach out to help ‘Be Belmont’ to them,” shared King.

In the past three years, King has become corporal over Squad 3 and continues to spend his spare time volunteering with OEM in the ESU. “I’m blessed to be a part of a team that consistently trains to go into mostly bad situations, does a job well, and helps bring some comfort to our larger community in need,” shared King.

Other news sources in Nashville have noticed Belmont and King’s great efforts alongside the OEM (read news story here).

Bateman Team Creates Campus Mural Encouraging Students to Rise Above for Universal Civility

Belmont University’s 2020-2021 Bateman Team recently revealed a mural on campus in honor of their public relations campaign focused on civil discourse. Working over the course of a year to put on a campaign, the team worked in collaboration with Belmont’s Graphic Designer Erica Belletete and administration to produce the final product. 

Each year PRSA puts on a competition where Bateman student organizations nation-wide are presented with a client that teams promote through conducting a month-long public relations campaign. Each team moves through the research, planning, implementation and evaluation phase of the campaign with a winner for most successful campaign announced by PRSA headquarters later in the spring.

This year’s Bateman team’s campaign is called ‘Rise Above for Universal Civility’ where the team is emphasizing the importance of engaging in conversations with the approach to understanding. The team of five is hosting several events between February 8 to March 8, where other students and emerging professionals can participate.

This year’s Belmont team consists of five members: Emma dela Pena as social media and writing specialist, Rileigh Skelton as strategic planning specialist, Abigail Roering as community outreach specialist, Molly Barresi as research specialist and Elizabeth Phillips as design specialist. 

The team shared that the mural is a chance for them and other students to “create a legacy at Belmont.” Design Specialist Elizabeth Phillips said, “The mural is a representation of what students value in this period of our lives. We want everyone to feel safe on campus and its promotion of civility, diversity and inclusion really embodies that.”

Roering shared the explanation of the design approach, saying that “many of the visual elements reflect duality and how two ideas can coexist even if they are opposites. The colors, the space motif and the comic-book style panels all allude to the overarching theme of everyday civility. Quite literally, our astronauts can rise above the toxicity often found in uncivil conversation so that they can truly ‘talk the talk.’”

The Bateman team is encouraging students and professionals alike to sign the pledge and commit to encouraging civil discourse in their communities. “Our hope is that our campaign encourages everyone to take matters of civil discourse into their own hands, to claim that responsibility as their own and share it with the communities of which they are part,” Roering shared. 

“No matter who you are, we want to make this a safe place for you to discuss your big ideas and strong opinions,” Phillips shared. 

The mural was released on Friday, Feb. 19 in the Belmont’s on-campus dining hall and will be moved several times to other spots on campus for students to find and take pictures with it. The team also has several events for students to learn and participate in the campaign located on their website. 

Belmont Continues Celebration of Black History Month with Special Langston Hughes Project Event

Belmont Continues Celebration of Black History Month with Special Langston Hughes Project Event

As a part of Belmont’s continued celebration of Black History Month, the University brought in guest speaker, educator and quartet member Ron McCurdy to put on his performance of the Langston Hughes Project, a multimedia concert performance of Langston Hughes’ kaleidoscopic Jazz poem suite, “Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz.”

Langston Hughes, a graduate of Lincoln University and member of a historically black fraternity, is remembered for being a popular activist during the Harlem Renaissance. Hughes wrote “Ask Your Mama” as a response to riots and incidents at the Newport Jazz Festival. In McCurdy’s performance, he puts a spin on this poem to further educate viewers about significant people, places and events of the Harlem Renaissance. 

McCurdy is currently a professor of music in the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California and was previously president of the International Association for Jazz Education. He has released two CDs, been published by Warner Bros and serves as the director of the Walt Disney All-American College Band and the of the National Grammy Vocal Jazz Ensemble and combo. 

The event at Belmont was put on by the Black Student Association and the Office of Multicultural Learning and Experience on February 18. The event started with the president of the BSA introducing McCurdy who then gave background on the Langston Hughes project and shared some words of wisdom to the students and faculty. 

McCurdy began by sharing the words of Langston Hughes that were written more than a century ago, yet are still important today and have helped the country heal after experiencing discrimination that is so evidently shown through tragedies such as the murder of George Floyd.

He remembered previous activists in his presentation, encouraging students and faculty to stand up for what they believe in now rather than later. “My grandmother always told me that if you don’t stand for anything, you’ll fall for anything,” said McCurdy as he reminded the audience that there’s no age to being passionate about something. 

The night continued with a performance by the Ron McCurdy Quartet where McCurdy himself challenged the audience to ask themselves “what can I do individually or collectively to ensure that we as Americans can live up to the declaration ‘we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal?’”

The night ended with an opening for questions and discussions on the event while the chat system was flooded with kind comments about the significance and value of the event for the University.  

The Ron McCurdy performance and more can be found at the Langston Hughes Project. Belmont University will have events for Black History Month through the end of February and more details can be found here.

Dr. Bob Fisher Considers ‘What Really Matters’ at His Final Homecoming Chapel before Retirement

Dr. Bob Fisher Considers ‘What Really Matters’ at His Final Homecoming Chapel before Retirement

Belmont President Dr. Bob Fisher will retire from his 20-year tenure at the end of this academic year. In his last chapel, rounding out Belmont’s 2021 Homecoming week, Fisher took the opportunity to look back and reflect on “What Really Matters” in life. 

With an introduction from Belmont Board of Trustees Chair Marty Dickens and musical performances from alumnus Dwan Hill & Co., Fisher began his presentation with background on his and his wife Judy’s 2009 book “Life is a Gift,” in which the two conducted in-depth interviews with more than 100 terminally ill patients of Alive Hospice in Nashville. 

The couple’s conversations with patients like 5-year-old Maddie or the 98-year-old man who spent his last weeks learning Hungarian followed a standard question-and-answer formula: What are you most proud of? What has been your greatest joy? What has been your greatest disappointment? What do you regret? What comes next for you? If you could give one message to the world, what would it be?

A few common themes emerged that have stuck with Fisher as things that are truly important in life: mainly relationships with God and relationships with other people. 

“Your family is what really matters. When you’re 5, you know it. When you’re 102, you know it. So many people get lost along the way. But, think about it. What really matters to you in life?” Fisher proposed. “Call your family today and tell them how much you love them. Invest your time and energy into those relationships. We heard it over and over and over.”

Other common themes focused on joy, forgiveness, reconciliation and being in touch with God. One patient who had suffered a difficult life told the Fishers she had no regrets because without the tribulations she faced, she wouldn’t have come to know the God of her salvation. And because she had known Him, she was full of hope and full of joy.

The patients talked a lot about God – the role he had played and the difference he made in their lives. The times when they were in step with God, their life prospered and happiness was there. In the times they strayed, it was tougher. Fisher reminded the listeners that it’s never too late for them to change the road they are on. For some patients, it was too late, but for many, there were great efforts made to ask for forgiveness from people in their lives and they received it. 

“For most of you, your life has just begun, and you’re not thinking about death and you shouldn’t be thinking about death, except to know that you are mortal and to know that if you can make the right decisions now, you’re going to have a life of great joy,” Fisher said as he concluded. 

“Don’t wait until you’re on the front porch of eternity to consider how you should live today. Remember, you’ve been given a gift of life, and also understand that it is a gift. Be thankful for it, praise God’s name and live your life with joy. Celebrate that life and make a joyful noise. Within practice hours.”

A recording of the service is available on Belmont’s Youtube channel.

Massey College of Business Ethics Team Brings Home Second Place in 2021 Templeton-Stetson Ethics Case Competition

Five Belmont students competed in the 8th annual Templeton-Stetson Ethics Case Competition which was held virtually on Friday, February 19 and placed second. The Belmont Team included Amanda Barbosa, Sarah Carvalho, William Fitzpatrick, Anna Pearson and Morgan Turpin. Boyd Smith and Tony Saunders served as coaches and faculty advisors.

This year’s case topic placed the Belmont Team as hypothetical consultants to Gene Lee, chair and CEO of Darden Restaurants, Inc., addressing “Covid-19 Vaccine: Freedom of Choice for Workers or Necessary Mandate for Business?” 

After observing several of the practice sessions, Dean Sarah Fisher Gardial said, “They were exceptionally well-prepared and impressive in their presentation skills. This team went to the competition ready to win. We are so proud of their performance in an impressive field of competitors.” 

Belmont placed second behind Campbell University. University of Florida placed third and other competing universities included Georgetown, UMass-Amherst, United States Naval Academy, Clemson, Boston College, Penn State and University of Calgary, among others.

Smith emphasized the immense time commitment from students which exceeds 70 hours over a four week period to conduct the necessary research, develop a recommendation with implementation plan while simultaneously developing a 20-minute presentation.   

The Templeton-Stetson Competition is sponsored by the Kennedy Center for Business Ethics as a co-curricular program in the Massey College of Business. This is the fourth year Belmont has competed and has placed in the top five each year. Smith added, “We are already looking forward to next year!”

Belmont Concludes Homecoming Week Celebration ‘at Home’

Belmont University celebrated its 2021 “Homecoming at Home” festivities this year during the week of Monday, February 15 – Saturday, February 20. Homecoming recognized the University’s strong spirit of community and the bond alumni carry with them beyond graduation. Despite the challenges of the coronavirus and a week of snow in Nashville, much of the celebration was still able to proceed virtually.

Belmont featured COVID-safe events that allowed students, faculty, staff and alumni to participate on their own time including a Virtual Polar Bear 5K Challenge, a Belmont Athletics Pop-Up Scavenger Hunt and exclusive discounts from The Belmont Store.

“The goal was to continue to ‘Defend our Den’ while following the established safety protocols, and simultaneously working to expand the cherished traditions of Homecoming,” shared Director of Alumni Relations Julie Thomas. The University did just that and continued to successfully celebrate the Belmont spirit and pride virtually throughout the week.
