Belmont will honor its August 2020 graduate and undergraduate students in an online celebration at 7 p.m. Central on August 7 at http://www.belmont.edu/graduation/. The event will confer 146 bachelors, 134 masters, and 46 doctoral for a total of 326 degrees.
Belmont University President Dr. Bob Fisher will officially confer the degrees of candidates from every college at Belmont, with introduction from Provost Dr. Thomas Burns and prayer from Vice President and Chief of Staff Dr. Susan West.
Audio engineering technology major Andrew Van Wert and Global Leadership Studies Major Ali White will offer scripture readings. Belmont’s chorus, under the direction of Jane Warren, will perform the Alma Mater. Music Business major Cidney Grady will offer her peers words of encouragement and share highlights of her journey at Belmont.
Diplomas, honor cords, caps and gowns will be mailed directly to graduates. The University encourages graduates to send in photos wearing their caps and gowns to socialmedia@belmont.edu or to use the hashtag #BelmontGrad20 on Instagram or Twitter in order for Belmont to celebrate their achievements on social media platforms.
Belmont also held a virtual commencement earlier this year for its 1,412 May 2020 graduates. That ceremony can be viewed on Belmont’s website.
