There’s a lot more to a Belmont education than lectures, notes, and labs. Here, you’ll find a full menu of social, cultural, and recreational events to help you engage with your fellow students, make personal and professional connections, and immerse yourself in the campus experience. Joining student organizations is a great way to get involved in the Belmont community and prepare for your future in the real world. It’s all about making the most of your journey from student to professional.

Student engagement:

Phi Theta Kappa (PTK)

The Belmont College chapter of this International Academic Honor Society, named Beta Theta Mu, is open (by invitation) to students who have achieved a 3.75 cumulative GPA (or higher) after having earned 20 credit hours of associate degree coursework at Belmont College. Practical Nursing certificate program students are also eligible for consideration. Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) 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 opportunity 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.

Belmont College Alumni Association

The Belmont College Alumni Association was formed in summer 2001 as a way for alumni to reconnect with their alma mater. The Association officially kicked off in 2002 with an event that included an election of officers. Membership in the Alumni Association is open to anyone who has been associated with the College as a student. This includes those who have earned an associate degree as well as individuals who have successfully completed certificate programs. An Alumni Council, comprising graduates from all class years, guides the activities of the Association. Currently, volunteers are needed to serve on the Council. For more information about how you can join the Belmont College Alumni Council, or to learn more about special offers and activities for alumni, contact the Belmont College Alumni Office at alumni@belmontcollege.edu.
