Organizations & Engagement
Student Organizations
Students are encouraged to work with appropriate faculty members to develop and plan additional student organizations. The College has a process for approval and recognition of student groups. Details on this process are available from the Associate VP of Student Affairs. The following recognized organizations are currently offered at Belmont:
Lambda Nu
The Belmont College chapter of this national honors society for the Radiologic and Imaging Sciences, named Ohio Omega, is open to students (by invitation) who have achieved a 3.5 cumulative GPA (or higher) after completing three (3) semesters in the Radiology Program.
Lambda Nu is the national honor society for the radiologic and imaging sciences.
The purpose of Lambda Nu is to foster academic scholarship at the highest academic levels, promote research and investigation in the radiologic and imaging sciences and recognize exemplary scholarship.
Lambda Nu’s name represents the physics of the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency, an essential parameter across the diversity of modalities comprising the professions.
Lambda Nu’s characters represent the inverse relationship and delicate balance required between the art and the science inherent in the radiologic and imaging sciences professions of radiography, radiation therapy, medical dosimetry, nuclear medicine, diagnostic medical sonography, cardiovascular-interventional technology, mammography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, quality management, and bone densitometry.
Lambda Nu’s colors are maroon for the radiologic sciences, forest green for the health professions, and gold, the ancient color of honor.
Phi Theta Kappa (PTK)
The Belmont College chapter of this national academic honor society, named Beta Theta Mu, is open (by invitation) to students who have achieved a 3.5 cumulative GPA (or higher) after having earned 12 college level credit hours of associate degree coursework at Belmont. Certificate program students are also eligible for consideration if they have a minimum of 6 credit hours. For more information, please contact our PTK advisor.
Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society of two-year colleges. Since its founding in 1918, the purpose of PTK has been to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. To achieve this purpose, the society provides opportunities for the development of leadership and service, for the intellectual exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship among scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuous academic excellence.
Members are recognized internationally for their academic achievements as well as at the Belmont College graduation ceremony by the wearing of honors regalia. Membership provides opportunities for scholarships for those students wanting to transfer to a four-year college or university.
Social Events
Social events at Belmont College may be sponsored by recognized student organizations with permission from the College. Students may sponsor parties and dances off school premises; however, such events may not include the name of the College without prior permission of the Associate VP of Student Affairs.
Social events on campus may be held any day the College is open. When students sponsor social events on College premises, those events are primarily for the students; however, students may bring a guest. The sponsoring group is responsible for clean-up following the social event. Limitations, restrictions, or modifications required for a particular event must be clearly announced to all constituents. Social events are not-for-profit activities although proceeds may be donated to recognized nonprofit organizations.
Community Service Projects
Student involvement in community service projects and fund-raising activities is encouraged on an individual or student group basis. However, any organized effort by students and any use of the College’s name must meet with prior approval of the Associate VP of Student Affairs.
Activities with Other Institutions
Through cooperative arrangements with nearby colleges, Belmont co-sponsors a number of activities that complement those offered on campus. Belmont students who attend such functions at other institutions are guests of the host institution and are expected to abide by its policies and procedures.
Belmont Alumni Association
The Belmont Alumni Association welcomes graduates who wish to continue to have an active relationship with the College after graduation. For more information contact the office of Workforce Development and Advancement at 740.695.9500.
