Alumni Success Stories
Chasity Donald
Elementary Education and ESL
Kindergarten teacher, Metro Nashville Public Schools
"Belmont gave me many opportunities to network during federal work-study and throughout my time in the College of Education. I made so many connections through practicum student teaching and tutoring, which helped me secure my first job coming out of college before I even graduated."
Racehl Ault
Secondary Education and English literature
Teacher, St. Michael's Catholic School in Aylesbury, UK
"The friends I made at Belmont have all stuck by me even after I moved 4,000 miles away, and I could not be more grateful. It's definitely a difficult journey, but I think it's worth every second."
Jacklyn "Jackie" Verseman
Master of Education, Teacher Leadership
Asst. Middle School Academic & Library Support, 7th Grade Foundation Math Co-Teacher, Battle Ground Academy, Franklin, TN
"Belmont's College of Education was exceptionally inclusive and flexible with my unique student-athlete schedule! Through in-person classes and independent studies with Dr. Lunsford, Dr. Nelms and Dr. Insana, I was able to maximize my learning experience and form many connections along the way! The connections I made with my professors ultimately led to me finding my current job. Dr. DeLaughter connected me with Battle Ground Academy, where I have been blessed with my dream job. I cannot thank Dr. D enough for introducing me to this wonderful school."
Evie Snoeyink
Elementary Education with ESL minor
5th grade teacher
"Being a part of Belmont's ESL program has helped widen my perspective on the world around me. It gave me strategies to work with and help a large part of Nashville's population. As an elementary ed major with an ESL minor, ESL has not only taught me to think critically and problem solve when working with students, but most importantly how to care for and support students who come from a background different than my own."
Faculty Perspectives
"I am not a salesperson, but it's so easy to talk about our College of Education and our University as a whole because of how magnificent the experience is and what we try to do on a day-to-day basis to support our students."
Dr. Annie Insana, Director of Clinical Practice at Belmont University's College of Education
"Look for a program that is transformative in nature and designed to critically examine and interrogate complex educational issues and solutions – one that will elevate your leadership potential, empower your professional practice, grow your professional network, equip you to leverage research methods, develop your scholarship and change you through the process."
Dr. Jesse Wood, Director of Belmont University's Ph.D. program in Strategic Leadership in Education (SLE)
"It's very feasible for a student to come in and decide to be dually degreed. The science of reading has really been the cornerstone of special ed instruction. But this initiative is about making sure that it's there for our teacher candidates."
Dr. Lauren Lunsford, Professor specializing in special education in Belmont's College of Education
