Belmont University

Founded in 1890 as a women’s college with 90 students, Belmont is now a co-educational Christian university with more than 7,700 students. Belmont has partnered with Nashville’s Metro Board of Parks and Recreation to transform the 24-acre Rose Park into a state-of-the-art community facility with sports fields, a basketball court, a walking track, and a training facility.  Belmont invested over $9 million in the project, and continues to contribute $50,000 a year to support park programming for youth and seniors.  Also committed to diversity and inclusion, in 2015, the University launched its Supplier Diversity Program to ensure its procurement base would better reflect its community.
