"The Honors program was by far the most instrumental aspect of community-building during my time at Belmont. It was a fantastically interdisciplinary cohort, but we were firmly united by our shared work ethic and intellectual curiosity. During our first Honors retreat in fall 2012, we built friendships that have evolved alongside us long after graduation, no matter where our professional paths took us. The Honors community is still a wonderfully dynamic group of people that have my lifelong admiration, respect, and friendship."

I wanted to find a community that explored my interest in learning."
