The Lilly Fellows Program in Humanities and the Arts, founded in 1991, seeks to strengthen the quality and shape the character of church-related institutions of learning through three programmatic initiatives. The National Network represents a diversity of denominational traditions, institutional types and geographical locations. Belmont has been a member of the Lilly Fellows Program since 2005. The Program is based at Christ College, the interdisciplinary honors college of Valparaiso University in northwest Indiana.
