Dr. Debra Wollaber, Dean of the College of Health Sciences adn the School of Nursing at Belmont University, is interviewed in the August 2003 issue of Nashville Medical News about people making a mid-career switch to nursing. The story, which appeared on page 13 of the paper, is available online in a PDF file here when the August 2003 issue of the paper is posted online. In the story, Wollaber comments:

“I was just talking with a student that had a career in the music business, and she’d decided that nursing is the way to go.
“I would be lying if I said that salary is not an issue. Nursing has always been a profession where you can find employment anytime and anywhere. When there is an economic downturn, our enrollment does tend to go up.”

After nearly six months of development, Belmont University and the Department of Athletics unveiled their new athletics logo on Tuesday. The new logo is an updated version of the previous mark introduced when Belmont University introduced the “Bruins” nickname in the fall of 1995. Featuring a growling bear and new Belmont script, the logo change coincides with the opening of the Curb Event Center on the south end of the campus.

“This is a time at Belmont where a lot of different things are going on. In coordination with President Dr. Robert Fisher, we decided it was time to reintroduce Belmont Bruins athletics to the Nashville community,” stated Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing Eric Jones. “It is just perfect timing with the opening of the Curb Event Center, an arena we feel will be one of the best facilities in the country.”

Local firm Dye, Van Mol and Lawrence created the new logo. The same company was chosen to develop the new Belmont University logo earlier this year.

The mark will be featured at center court on the new arena floor and will become the prominent symbol at all athletic venues and on team uniforms. Official merchandise bearing the new mark is available exclusively at the Belmont Bookstore on campus or via the internet at www.belmont.edu/bookstore. Additionally, a new Bruin mascot will be rolled out at a special new student gathering on Belmont
