It is with genuine and heartfelt gratitude that I thank all of the alumni and friends who unwaveringly support Belmont University. Every success story on our campus is made possible by your generosity. Thank you for believing in Belmont and for always seeing the opportunities that abound here. As an alumnus and trustee I am often awestruck by our growth and change. As Chairman of the Development committee I am humbled by your vision for Belmont’s future. Your continued dedication was evident in 2011 and 2012 by another banner year for our institution. I hope you will enjoy reading about our accomplishments on the following pages of the Philanthropy Report. Always remember that these success stories are written for eternity in the transformed lives of the students who find this wonderful place which is Belmont University.
