The Parent Programs Team is here to provide guidance for Your Belmont Journey
The Office of Parent Programs & Giving is here to serve as a parent resource to enhance your Belmont journey. We encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities we offer our parent community.
- Be Informed – Stay up to date on campus news and events by reading the Bruin Family Den, our communications platform designed solely for our Belmont parents.
- Be Engaged – Attend on campus events to support our students. A full calendar of events is available in the “Resources Section” of the Bruin Family Den.
- Be Involved – Be an Ambassador for Belmont and help us grow our network by serving as a parent host for our BU2U or Send Party events supporting our incoming students.
- Be Inspired – Support us philanthropically by joining the Parent Leadership Circle, our family giving society. A gift of $1,000 annually to the Parents Fund will support areas of greatest student need and opportunities.
Our team consists of three members with unique background and experiences. Greg Pillon has been at Belmont for over 25-years and is the father of two recent Belmont graduates, Debbie Sprang has worked directly with Belmont parents for over 10-years and her youngest daughter graduated from Belmont… twice! Gabe DeGraeve is a recent Belmont graduate who worked in admissions before joining the Parent Programs team.
We encourage you to contact us if we can be a resource for you or answer any questions you may have. You can reach us at Parents@belmont.edu.
