Belmont alumna Erica Louise Waters Orzechowski, a 2013 graduate of the M.A. in English program, will publish her debut novel “Ghost Wood Song” on July 14 by HarperCollins.
Waters provided a synopsis of the forthcoming novel: Shady Grove inherited her father’s ability to call ghosts from the grave with his fiddle, but she also knows the fiddle’s tunes bring nothing but trouble and darkness. But when her brother is accused of murder, she can’t let the dead keep their secrets. In order to clear his name, she’s going to have to make those ghosts sing.
Waters said her M.A. in English from Belmont pushed her toward writing fiction, which was not at all what she had planned for a career. “I took a creative writing course with Dr. Sandy Hutchins, who recognized talent I didn’t think I had and encouraged me to pursue it,” she explained. “A few of the characters and themes from my debut novel actually came from short stories I wrote in her class. I’ll always be grateful for my time at Belmont and the excellent, caring teachers I had there.”
Belmont University alumna Teressa Shelton (B.A., 1984) will release her memoir, “The Sergeant’s Daughter” (She Writes Press) this August. The memoir, reminiscent of “The Glass Castle,” follows her and her sisters through a childhood of abuse and torment, aided only by the solace of books, music and family found outside of their home, until Shelton ultimately escapes to build a better life for herself.
Shelton’s story begins with a riveting account of her eulogy at her abusive father’s funeral, struggling to focus on the brief glimmers of light he displayed throughout his life. Readers then learn of her childhood, including the complicated, extreme home life Teressa and her sisters endured. It also shows the power of being kind, with neighbors and friends that ease the children’s hurt along the way, eventually helping Shelton grow more confident as she got older, and finding a path to happiness.
Shelton said she has fond, heartwarming memories of her time at Belmont, remembering that every time she walked on campus, she felt like she was home. Belmont was one of the first private colleges in Nashville to “make it easier for people like me to attend.” Today, Shelton says she feels proud of Belmont and the way it has grown, both in size and in reputation.
“When I consider how Belmont shaped me, I think particularly of my professors who taught me valuable lessons useful beyond the classroom and excited my interest in learning for the sake of it,” she explained.
First and foremost, Shelton remembers a business professor that gave her advice to define the problem, not the symptom of the problem, and present options to solve it. Following his advice has served her well in her career in medical management.
Shelton’s American literature professor helped her cultivate her passion for literature in new ways, learning to engage with books beyond their stories. “I’ve always loved to read but I was raised in a home where reading was actively discouraged and sometimes even forbidden. I recall many lively class discussions, but one that comes to mind was about symbolism in Melville’s, ‘Billy Bud’ and Hawthorne’s, ‘The Scarlet Letter.’ At home I’d think about the discussion we’d had, and another question would pop into my head,” Shelton recalled. “I couldn’t wait to get back to class to ask him. If he ever got tired of seeing my hand go up, he never let on. In that class, I finally had an opportunity to indulge and develop my love of reading.”
Finally, Shelton’s sociology professor at Belmont not only taught a great class but helped form her as Shelton worked with her as her assistant, having deep conversations while they graded papers and posted grades. “Slowly she began breaking down my walls. She was the first person I told about the abuse I’d suffered as a child. She hugged me when I got emotional, she made a fist and pounded her desk when I went into details and, most importantly, she encouraged me to share my story with my husband,” Shelton said. “Because of her advice, I did. Without her advice years ago, I’m not sure I ever would have had the courage to publish my book now.”

Belmont junior music business major Emma Martin has been selected to receive a 2020 Scholarship award from Live Nation, the world’s leading live entertainment company, in partnership with the nonprofit House of Blues Music Forward Foundation. Martin is one of five outstanding college students pursuing music industry careers who will be awarded a total of $45,000 in scholarships.
This year’s diverse group of gifted scholarship recipients were selected based on academic performance, leadership skills and a passionate commitment to the live entertainment experience.
Martin is the recipient of the 2019 $10,000 Live Nation U.S. Concerts Scholarship. This scholarship supports students pursuing careers in the five core areas of Live Nation’s business: concert and venue promotion, sponsorship and advertising, ticketing, e-commerce and artist management.
Martin believes music brings people together and she said she wants to create spaces where people feel connected with each other.
“House of Blues Music Forward Foundation works to empower underrepresented groups in the music industry and receiving this scholarship is such an honor,” she said. “As an Asian woman entering this industry, I want to promote inclusivity and diversity, to ensure that future leaders continue to be represented.”
Martin, a Norcross, Georgia native, began playing the viola at age nine and was in orchestra class from fourth grade until her junior year of college. She turned her interest in performing into a pursuit of a career in the music business. At Belmont, Martin has been a Writer’s Night Producer and Council Member of the Belmont Showcase Series and has participated in CMA edu, Grammy U, Belmont University Copyright Society and Women in Entertainment. She interned at Olivia Management in Nashville, where her hard work, passion and intelligence were praised by her colleagues.
“Live Nation is committed to investing in the next generation of diverse music industry leaders through our distinct scholarship program that supports students pursuing live entertainment careers,” said Mark Campana, chief operating officer, Live Nation U.S. Concerts. “We are dedicated to ongoing action to making a difference and proudly support this year’s esteemed awardees as part of our collective strategy to amplify diversity and inclusion in the industry.”
Belmont alumna Stacy Spencer believes a purpose-filled life and career always involves people, relationships and helping others. This is not only her advice to young people looking for direction, but a personal life mantra. 16 years ago, Spencer and her husband Bill co-founded a nonprofit called Narrow Gate Foundation that has helped more than 435 young men through its residential discipleship program.
Located on 122-acres of Tennessee countryside – filled with miniature donkeys, a huge barn, several artisan shops and a bold mission to follow Christ—the 10,000 square foot Narrow Gate Lodge hosts young men between the ages of 18-25 for an eight-month experience of deep relationship, hard work, apprenticeship and study of God’s word, with start dates every two months. Some of the men are struggling with one thing or another, some are taking a gap year, and some are just looking for their next step. All the young men are seeking life transformation, working to answer the question, “What is the purpose for my life?”
Of course, Narrow Gate has a website and social media pages, but Spencer said the main way young men come to the Lodge is through word of mouth. The program offers a desirable chance to pause, slow down and consider – a necessary moment of reflection when young men don’t want to go to college, aren’t sure if they need to go to college or are hesitant to jump right into what society tells them is next.

And after the program, many go on to do much more. In fact, 80 percent of Narrow Gate graduates, if they have some college experience, go back and finish their college degree.
“The most rewarding thing is to watch the long-term effect that Christ is having on these young men as they walk out their faith,” Spencer explained. “It’s getting to be a part of their lives for years and years and watching the ripple effects they are having and will continue to have in their local communities, churches and in their families. We get to be part of their marriages, weddings, families, children being born or starting their own business or ministry. That’s what I look forward to.”
It all started with Spencer’s testimony in becoming a Christian. Although she was not against Christianity while she was a student at Belmont, Spencer did not have a relationship with God and joked that she almost got kicked out of school because she did not want to go to Chapel. She graduated in 1990 with her degree in broadcast communications and was lucky to work in the male-dominated film and TV industry for the next decade doing what her degree had prepared to do.

One night in 2002, a client invited her and her husband to dinner at his church, and although hesitant, they agreed. Spencer said she had a very close encounter with God in a real and personal way that night, and her life was forever changed. A couple months later, she was baptized and became an active church member who wanted to know more about Jesus, God and “what He thought about a girl like me.”
“Looking back now, I see that God’s grace was abundant towards me in so many different ways. It’s because of the seeds that were planted at Belmont and others in my life that on that night, God was able to change my heart in a way that transformed me and changed the trajectory of my life,” Spencer said.
Spencer and her husband began serving in the homeless ministry through their church and got to know one of the men after a dinner one night who was singing a hymn with the lyrics, “I don’t know what the future holds, I don’t know about today. But I know who holds my hand and I know who leads the way…. For the Lord is good to me; he’s never failed me yet.” Spencer thought, “How can you say the Lord has never failed you?” and the Lord caused her heart to beat. The Spencers were deeply moved and wondered how they could use all that God had blessed them with to provide a better life for the man. They moved him into their home for a few months and ultimately helped him fulfill his desire to get an education and become a preacher.
Not too much longer, the Spencers invited two other 19-year-old men to come and live with them as they worked though addiction and feeling lost. Those young men followed the Spencers’ example and gave their lives to Christ. Word spread. Other parents began asking if their sons could meet with the Spencers, and by the end of that year, there were seven young men living in the couple’s three bed, two bath house.
“I realized that God has given me the ability to impact someone’s life and change the trajectory of their life by loving them and believing in them—not crazy ideas, but just allowing God to use me. My husband and I were growing in our love for these young men and our passion to be a part of their lives,” Spencer said. “It was obvious that God was doing something supernatural in our midst. We sat down and decided to do it full time, and that’s how we became executive directors of a nonprofit organization, even though we had no experience in the nonprofit sector and no training. We had been entrepreneurs our whole life. But, that was how Narrow Gate got started in 2004.”
Young men enjoy deep, intimate relationship during their stay at Narrow Gate Lodge
Narrow Gate was started as a way for young men to come spend eight months of their life where they put down their cell phones and social media and get into intimate, real relationships with others as they learn what it means to understand God’s word, hear the voice of God and how to disciple others.
The Spencers ditched their small house and moved onto the current Leatherwood Forge property which historically housed black smiths and wood workers. The Tennessee Association of Woodturners, an instrumental partner in helping develop artisan education as part of the Narrow Gate experience, has brought volunteers to the property for eight years that teach the residents how to do woodturning.
In 2013, through the gifts of generous partners, Narrow Gate Foundation launched Narrow Gate Trading Co., a wood and leather goods shop designed to employ Narrow Gate students and graduates – engaging them in business enterprise and craftsmanship. The company, run almost entirely by the young men from the program, has employed more than 40 Narrow Gate graduates and will earn $1 million in sales this year.
“Not only are the young men building the products, managing the process, managing the business and working with customers in our Franklin showroom, but every week they are getting business 101 and leadership development classes. Again, it’s our goal to give them continuing education to prepare them for what is next in life,” said Spencer. “We have great stories of young men who have worked at the trading company for a couple years and now they’re reaching back out to us and telling us how we helped prepare them for success in the future job they’re doing. It’s amazing. It’s so humbling.”
One of their product lines, TN Box Beams, has become highly successful and has allowed them to tell their story on HGTV multiple times.
“It’s a testimony to what these men are capable of if they’ll put their hands to the task and they keep people first and they trust God. God has a plan that He is still unveiling for them,” Spencer said. “I didn’t meet Christ until I was 33. So, I see that they have such greater potential than I have because they are making a commitment to Christ at an earlier age. They’re going to do greater things than my husband and I could ever do. At the end of my life, at the end of the day, when I close my eyes, that is what brings me peace and purpose; that is what inspires me every day to get up out of bed and go do it again.”
To Spencer’s left is Davis Muairewe, Narrow Gate Exchange student from Uganda. The others in the picture are Narrow Gate Lodge students and staff members.
In 2018, Narrow Gate Foundation launched its newest initiative: Narrow Gate Exchange which started when Wood-Mizer Sawmills, the largest sawmill manufacturer in the world, called and asked if they could bring international students to the campus to train them in sawmilling, wood working and business. Of course, the Spencers wanted to join forces in sending well-equipped young men back out into the world to make a difference. Through partnerships with groups like the Samaritan’s Purse, vetted international students come spend 90 days on campus for training, business development and Christian discipleship. Wood-Mizer sends a complete sawmill kit with the students when they return to their home countries so they may start their own business.
Davis Muairewe, a young man from Uganda, finished the exchange program last year and has returned to grow his business in Uganda. He has hired seven employees and has secured a contract to build 100 school desks for the government in Uganda. Spencer said, “Because we were able to provide for him, he can now make a quality product and knows how to sell and manufacture it. He is now able to provide employment for seven other Ugandans in his community. Isn’t that amazing?”
Spencer said it brought her great joy and honor to share her story with Belmont because she wants the faculty and staff to know that what they are doing matters and not to give up hope in the generations they are ministering to.
“Do not grow weary in doing good for in due season, you will reap a harvest. And I’m part of that harvest – it took a due season, but I am part of it! And not just me—the Narrow Gate ministry is part of Belmont’s harvest. They are part of my story, so this is part of Belmont’s story, also,” she said. “All these young men may never come to Belmont, but they are being impacted by Belmont because I was able to go and get the education and the spiritual training I needed, even though I wasn’t applying it at the time. God doesn’t waste any of that.”
Spencer said if you ever take your eyes off the people, you’ll lose the purpose. “God’s business here on Earth is about people—about individuals and communities. It doesn’t matter what career path you choose, you have to keep in mind that your number one priority is either the people you work with, the people who purchase your products or the people you serve. To actually care about them, not just as co-workers, but as image-bearers of God. The Imago Dei – these are God’s children. For me, that’s the best advice that I would give.”
Belmont announced today the appointment of Dr. Chris Gage, current vice president for strategy and enrollment of Hanover College, as the University’s new Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Services. Gage will begin his position at Belmont on Aug. 10.
Belmont Provost Dr. Thomas Burns said, “Belmont’s consistent and visionary enrollment growth over the past two decades sets the University apart among its peers in higher education. Our commitment to provide even more students with a transformative Belmont education means the Dean of Enrollment position is an incredibly important one for our team. We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Gage to our campus. His years of experience in higher educations along with the tremendous accomplishments and leadership he brought to Hanover College will serve Belmont well in the years to come.”
In his new position, Gage will be responsible for all aspects of Belmont’s Enrollment Services division, including overseeing University Admissions, Student Financial Services and Belmont Central. He will serve on the Provost’s Executive Council and work collaboratively with college deans in making decisions related to University operations, strategic growth, retention practices and student success.
Gage is well-prepared for the position following 15 years of increasing responsibilities at Hanover College, most recently leading the admissions operation the past three years as vice president. During his tenure, Hanover experienced increases in enrollment, net tuition revenue, average GPA and retention rates, among other measures. He is an active member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling and previously served as president of the Indiana Association for College Admission Counseling. A graduate of Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business with an MBA from Xavier University, Gage received his Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Higher Education from the University of Nebraska.
Gage said, “It is an honor to be joining Belmont University. After meeting with President Fisher, Provost Burns, the search committee and enrollment management team, I was drawn to Belmont’s mission, vision, innovative spirit and student-centric focus. Belmont’s combination of a liberal arts foundation with professional education in an inclusive, supportive Christian community makes it a highly desirable, distinctive educational experience. I look forward to working with the entire Belmont community to continue the university’s growth on a national and international scale.”
Dr. Emily Singleton, the inaugural fellow of the Belmont University College of Pharmacy and HealthTrust Clinical Management Fellowship in Drug Information, has successfully completed the 2-year program and has accepted a position at Belmont University within the Christy Houston Foundation Drug Information Center.
Singleton’s new position will include providing an on-demand drug information service for Health-Trust members and providing drug information support to the clinical pharmacy team at HealthTrust.
Dr. Genevieve Lynn (Ness) Engle, associate professor and director of the Christy Houston Foundation Drug Information Center, said Singleton has become a vital part of the HealthTrust clinical pharmacy team. “Dr. Singleton’s contributions to the fellowship and the Drug Information Center have been remarkable. Within the first few months of her program, she published an article in Annals of Pharmacotherapy, based on one of the drug information questions she answered in the center,” she said. “I am so proud of her accomplishments and am grateful we were able to keep her as the HealthTrust Senior Manager of Clinical Information.”
The two-year, post-doctoral Clinical Management Fellowship in Drug Information, co-sponsored by Belmont University and HealthTrust, is designed to provide fellows with an intensive program focused in drug information, evidence-based practice, corporate management, teaching and research. It is the goal of the program to equip fellows to serve as pharmacists in a corporate healthcare setting, university or college faculty, drug information specialists, medical science liaisons or medical writers.
The first year of the program is with Belmont. This academia and drug information rotation allows the fellow to experience managing the day-to-day operations of a drug information center while assisting in drug information courses as an adjunct professor. Fellows have the opportunity to pursue longitudinal research projects suitable for publication and presentation at national meetings, as well as act as a preceptor for experiential education students. Additionally, the fellow participates in Belmont’s Pharmacy Teaching Certificate Program and exits the rotation experience with a completed teaching portfolio.
The second year is with HealthTrust. This corporate rotation presents the fellow with the opportunity to gain experience at a group purchasing organization with more than 1,600 member-hospitals and 25,000 clinics. At HealthTrust, the fellow is integrated into the clinical pharmacy team by engaging with the sourcing department and supporting a drug information service. The fellow has the opportunity to complete a longitudinal research project and submit for peer-review and publication. Precepting students, conducting evidence reviews, drafting conversion documents, and learning how to navigate a complex healthcare environment are a few of the experiences gained upon completion of this fellowship.
The fellowship program recruits one fellow every year. Dr. Singleton was the inaugural fellow for the 2018-2020 cycle. Dr. Andrew Douglas is the current PGY2 fellow (2019-2021 cycle), and Dr. Sally Hughes is the current PGY1 fellow (2020-2022 cycle).
Country newcomer and Belmont alumna Alexis Wilkins released three new songs over the Fourth of July weekend. The Arkansas native released “If I’m Being Honest,” “615” and “RSVP” to all streaming services, co-writing each of the three songs.
“If I’m Being Honest” is currently featured on Radio Disney Country, and CMT will premiere the video in August, which was filmed at American Legion Post 82 in Nashville before quarantine began.
“I’m so eager for the world to get to know Alexis Wilkins,” said Wilkins’ manager Rob Beckham, President and CEO of The AMG. “She’s an all-American girl with country roots, a big heart and lots to say. She is the vibrant girl next door, with undeniable charisma and some great music that places her firmly in her own lane. She also has great stage presence, and we are excited to get her out on the road as soon as the touring world resumes.”
The video for the focus track “If I’m Being Honest” gives a nod to Wilkins’ lifelong adoration of veterans – a love that was sparked by her beloved grandfather’s military service. The country singer is passionate about including veterans in her release week activities, too. Wilkins did a call-to-action on June 14, Flag Day, for fans to submit photos with American flags. The images will be fashioned into collages forming flags to be presented to the Nashville-area VA hospitals in July.
On a larger scale, Wilkins, a frequent volunteer with Musicians On Call, taped a video message and virtual concert that has been distributed to VA hospitals nationwide for play on July 4. In the clip, Wilkins thanks veterans for their service, talks about her partnership with Musicians On Call, performs a couple of songs, shares stories and gives the staff and patients a sneak peek at her “If I’m Being Honest” music video. On July 8, Wilkins will be the first performer for the inaugural Musicians On Call virtual performance for the VA.
“Having veterans and my time at the VA be included in this release was so important because it’s truly in everything I do,” Wilkins said. “This is my ‘why,’ and people seeing how special Musicians On Call’s work is and allowing me to still bring music to the VA and honor our country’s heroes when we can’t visit in person is absolutely everything to me.”
In another nod to current events, Savannah, Georgia-based boutique Satchel produced 400 USA-themed fabric masks to be distributed during release week. Wilkins distributed 200 masks to fans and will donate the remaining 200 to Musicians On Call.
In honor of her track “615,” famous Music City-based artist Rob Hendon created a 9 x 12-foot patriotic guitar mural that Wilkins transported to various iconic tourist locations throughout Nashville. The mural was erected at each destination, and Wilkins posed for appropriately socially distant pictures with fans and passers-by.
“Nashville Strong is just the truth about our city, and I wanted to honor that,” Wilkins said. “The 615 has been through a lot in the last few months between the tornadoes and COVID, but we are coming back, and we’re stronger than ever, sticking together and being the incredible community that I know we are. I’m so excited to finally be coming out with new music.”

Associate Professor and Chair of Belmont’s Cinema, Television and Media Department William M. Akers is well known as an expert in screenwriting. A lifetime member of the Writers’ Guild of America, he has had three feature films produced from his scripts. His book, “Your Screenplay Sucks! 100 Ways to Make it Great,” was just chosen as the no. 1 best screenwriting book of 2020 by Script Reader Pro.
With Akers’ book on the list of “underrated and overlooked books every screenwriter should own” are the legendary “Save the Cat,” “The Writer’s Journey” and “On Writing” by Stephen King, all books that “explain things in a clear, practical manner, are maybe underrated and will transform your understanding of any given area of screenwriting.”
The article says of Akers’ book, “The subtitle to the book is “100 Ways To Make It Great” and it does just that. The chapters on editing sentences are particularly helpful. Especially if you’re one of the many writers who suffer from overwritingingus. This book is great for helping writers really get to grips with the essentials of the craft.”
Akers has been a script consultant for twenty years and gives writing workshops around the world.
Nominations for the 31st annual International Bluegrass Music Association Awards were unveiled late last week. Competition was so tight in the top-prize race this year that Entertainer of the Year features six nominees instead of the usual five, and among them is Director of Belmont’s Curb College Academic Advising Tina Adair Dishman’s band Sister Sadie.
Making history last year for being the first all-female band to win “Vocal Group of the Year,” Sister Sadie could very well make history again this year as they are the first all-woman outfit ever nominated for Entertainer of the Year. Sister Sadie is also nominated again this year for Vocal Group of the Year.
The other five musicians vying for Entertainer of the Year are Balsam Range, Billy Strings, Del McCoury Band, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and Special Consensus. Rolling Stone reported a full list of categories and nominations.
The IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards will be broadcast on SiriusXM’s Bluegrass Junction on October 1. Additional details about the broadcast will be announced in the coming weeks. The awards ceremony, the World of Bluegrass music festival, and annual conference were scheduled for the fall in Raleigh, North Carolina. While organizers continue to work on creating a safe in-person event experience, this year’s festivities will take place virtually, with the conference, showcases, awards and performances presented online from September 28 – October 3, with the possibility of extending event content beyond those dates.
Real Leaders recently published a list of the “Top 50 Keynote Speakers in the World,” “who have stayed relentless in their commitment to making a difference (digitally and virtually for now).” Among them is Belmont alumnus and former basketball player Drew Hanlen, ranked no. 38.
Real Leaders writes, “Drew Hanlen is the world’s top NBA skills trainer. What many people don’t know is that he’s been working behind the scenes, influencing business owners and doing inspirational talks for many years.”
Hanlen is an NBA Skills coach and consultant, executive coach and CEO of Pure Sweat Basketball, a training firm with a growing list of NBA players such as Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards), Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers), Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics), Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls) and Kelly Oubre Jr (Phoenix Suns).
“His basketball hero, growing up, was Michael Jordan. He would record Bulls games, study every move Jordan made, and then hit the court and practice the same moves, which helped Hanlen develop his basketball IQ. Although his dream was to play in the NBA, he still has an impact on the league. Today, he carries the same tenacity and work ethic as a much-in-demand keynote speaker.”
Hanlen knows basketball. As a senior point guard for Belmont in 2011-12, he averaged 10.8 points and 3.9 assists a game. His business was built entirely on word of mouth, but on a solid foundation. On his website, Hanlen writes, “My business is based on three core elements of player development, personal development and professional development. My ultimate goal is to help as many players as possible reach the level of success that they dream of and take them beyond what they even think is capable. That’s my mission statement and my personal belief.”
His job as an NBA Skills Coach is to analyze film and analytics to provide strategic step-by-step action plans to help players improve their games. His unique approach is a crowd favorite as he relates his personal experiences in sports to the needs of his audience. Below are some of his available speaking topics:
Mastering the Unseen Hours
Setting Your Personal GPS/Reverse Engineering Your Dream Life
Remove the Floaties
Peaking Beyond the Plateau
Success Separators
Become a Star by Impacting Team Success
Auditing Actions and Installing Purposeful Processes
Hanlen joins the ranks with world renown speakers like Malcolm Gladwell, Oprah Winfrey and Brene Brown, who also made the list.
