Belmont University is opening its doors to students unable to attend their own university due to Hurricane Katrina. Those students will be able to take classes here and their tuition will be sent to their home institutions to enable them to rebuild and reopen.
A first-rate education, includes civic responsibility as well as academic preparation.... With the right programs in place, our schools can provide a wonderful opportunity for students to come together and learn the skills that will keep our democracy strong.
-Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education
