About Michael

Hi! My name is Michael Waters and I’m a native of Florence, SC. I began my career in the field of college admission at Furman University, my alma mater. I later earned a master’s degree in counseling from Georgia State University and then served for eleven years as the Director of College Counseling at Brentwood Academy in suburban Nashville. Heeding the call to return to a university setting, I joined the admission staff here at Belmont in 2005.  

In my free time, I enjoy reading (especially history) and raising a vegetable garden. I feel fortunate to work in a Christian community that not only values learning and service, but also challenges students to identify and follow God’s purpose for their lives.I look forward to the opportunity of serving you as you enter this next phase in your life.

For information on how you could get started in completing your degree, contact  Michael at: 615-460-6655.

About Katie

I am the Student Advising Coordinator for the Professional Bachelor of Business Administration (PBBA) degree for both Accounting and General Business. Once admitted, I help adult students navigate registering for classes and understanding their program requirements. I serve as the preliminary advisor for adult students and assist as additional support once students are assigned a major faculty advisor.

I earned a BA in Psychology from the University of Kansas and an MA in Higher Education Administration from the University of Louisville. Prior to coming to Belmont at the beginning of 2017, I worked as an academic advisor at the University of Kansas. I have worked with a variety of students at different points in their life pursuing an assortment of degrees. I am passionate about helping students find the best pathway toward graduation while getting the most out of what Belmont has to offer.

I am the Program Advisor for the Global Leadership Studies, Legal Studies, Liberal Studies, Public Relations Management and Social Work Adult Degree Programs. I advise students in our program, make recommendations on class schedules, and assist students with meeting their Well Core requirements.

I am a native Tennessean and enrolled at Belmont as a traditional student right out of high school and earned my Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) in Marketing.  In addition, I have also completed a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health Counseling at Belmont.  I have been a part of Belmont as a student and employee since 1989 and have seen tremendous growth at the University.  I enjoy working within a caring community that strives to aid students in their own personal growth and transformation.

About Martha

I am the Ministry Program Advisor and an advisor for the Liberal Studies Program. I also teach the Liberal Studies Cooperative Experience course as well as classes in the School of Religion. I completed my undergraduate work at Baylor University, and I earned an MDiv/RE and Ph.D. from Southern Seminary.    

After seminary, I served as the Minister of Education at Crievewood Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee for sixteen years.  While I was at Crievewood, I began teaching as an adjunct in the School of Religion at Belmont University.   In the summer of 2005, I came to Belmont’s University College as the Ministry Program Advisor and a Liberal Studies advisor.  

 In both of these capacities, I have been privileged to meet and get to know students from various academic and religious experiences.  The best part of my job is getting to know the students and their families, as well as seeing the student’s excitement regarding how God has gifted them for ministry.   It is also a joy to see students realize their dream of finishing their degree.    

My life apart from Belmont includes spending time with my husband Ray and our son, Kyle.  I also volunteer at Crievewood Baptist Church as the Senior Adult Division director.

 About Sara

I am an academic advisor for the Liberal Studies and RN-BSN Programs.   My office is located at Belmont University - Williamson County location, and I help prospective Liberal Studies and RN-BSN students navigate the application process and provide assistance as they enroll at Belmont University.  I am a graduate of Belmont University with both a BBA in Music Business and an MBA.

Working with adult students to reach their educational goals is inspiring.   Having gone back to college as an adult, I understand what it is like to juggle work and family and also know the value of finishing that education.   As an academic advisor, I strive to make the Belmont experience as smooth as possible for our adult students.
