Question, analyze and understand social phenomena in the world around you
Marie CampbellThe sociology department at Belmont prepared me for non-profit leadership by introducing me to critical social and cultural theory and nurturing my passion to mobilize communities for social change. The department encouraged me to become a student of society – to seek understanding of the problems we face and to collaborate with others to offer solutions and build the world we all deserve.
