Belmont University is pleased to announce that the Hope Transforms Campaign has reached an important milestone, surpassing $350 million toward its $700 million goal.

Over the past three years, Executive Vice President Dave Rosselli has played a key leadership role in building the campaign infrastructure, strengthening Belmont’s advancement efforts and positioning the Hope Transforms Campaign for continued success. With the campaign now halfway to its goal and a strong foundation in place, Rosselli will conclude his service at Belmont and pursue new professional opportunities.

"This is an exciting season for my wife, Chris, and me as we look forward to exploring opportunities we have not previously had the chance to pursue," Rosselli said. “The Belmont community is extraordinary, and I am especially grateful for the talented and dedicated advancement team I've had the privilege of working alongside. I'm proud of what we have accomplished together and of the strong foundation we have built for the Hope Transforms Campaign. I am confident that President Jones and the Belmont team will continue that momentum toward the $700 million goal. Chris and I also look forward to continuing the many meaningful relationships that have grown from our three years in Nashville."

Belmont President Greg Jones expressed his appreciation for Rosselli's leadership and contributions to the University.

"Dave has been a valued member of Belmont’s executive leadership team, and we are grateful for his leadership and contributions during an important period in Belmont's growth,” Jones said. "He and the advancement team have done meaningful work in building the foundation for the Hope Transforms Campaign and helping it reach this significant milestone. We wish Dave and Chris continued success and all the best in this next chapter.”
