Over spring break, BAC Investment Club members Gabe Martin, Nelson Stafford, and Adam Lindskog (Class of ’21) traveled to New York to learn from portfolio managers and investment specialists at JP Morgan Asset Management and AllianceBernstein in Manhattan. This was an incredible opportunity for our students to get some hands-on experience in the financial sector. The students reported that they learned a lot about professionalism, ethics, and the importance of a firm’s culture, as well as about finance. We also had time for some fun: good food, ice skating at the Rockefeller Center, and seeing the musical Hamilton. This trip was made possible by the generous support we receive from donors for Money the Abbey Way: Financial Literacy @ The Abbey and the BAC Investment Club.

Belmont Abbey, CaroMont and Gaston County partner to train next generation of healthcare professionals
It’s more important than ever that we have qualified healthcare workers. Belmont Abbey, CaroMont, and other institutions in Gaston County are working together to respond to this need by creating additional avenues for healthcare education. º£½ÇÉçÔÚÏß recently launched a Master of Health Administration and will kick off a Bachelor’s in Nursing program this fall. Additionally, the college is partnering with CaroMont Health to build a brand new hospital on campus ground that will open in the fall of 2023. Gaston County high schools help identify students interested in health sciences, and Gaston Community College offers more technical degree programs such as ultrasound. The Catholic News Herald recently explored Belmont Abbey’s commitment to healthcare education. Read more .

Phi Alpha Theta
On Saturday, March 5, º£½ÇÉçÔÚÏß’s History Department hosted the 2022 Carolinas Regional Phi Alpha Theta Conference. Phi Alpha Theta is the national history honor society and it was our department’s great pleasure to welcome them to our campus for the first time. The conference attracted more than 35 student presenters from across the Carolinas, Tennessee, and beyond. The keynote lecture was delivered by Fr. Charles Gallagher, S.J., of Boston College.
Among the undergraduate presenters were SIX Abbey students: Helen Behe, Angela Harris, Preston Jones, Katalina Lopez, Ricky Seyler, and David Stone. Their papers covered topics ranging from the spread of Christianity among the Vikings to Christianity to major events in the history of Gaston County. All six performed admirably.
At the end of the day, prizes were awarded for the best four undergraduate presentations. Remarkably, two of the winners were Abbey students: Angela Harris and Katalina Lopez. Furthermore, one of the two graduate awards went to Caleb Kuali, who graduated from the Abbey in 2021 before commencing graduate study at North Carolina State University.
The History Department is delighted to congratulate Helen, Preston, Caleb, Ricky, David, and especially Angela and Katalina, on their exceptional achievements.
We also wish to express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Daniel Hutchinson, who worked incredibly hard to make the event the great success that it was, and to the donors to our Founders’ Day fundraiser last year, whose support made it possible for our students to have this experience.
