Leadership Defined
We believe that leadership is a values-driven process of diverse individuals working together to boldly and ethically engage the world and make it better.
Every Belmont student can learn and practice leadership with or without a formal position. Leadership development is integrated into every Belmont student's experience and is accessible through the BELL Core, Honors and graduate programs. These experiences are centralized through a leadership framework, database and hub in the Division of Student Formation.
The Belmont Office of Leadership Development (BOLD) staff and faculty across campus are committed to preparing and empowering students with a toolbox of leadership skills and experiences through a seamless, integrated, high-impact leadership development presence in curricular and co-curricular spaces.
At Belmont, there is leadership development for all!
