A Night to Celebrate

We had our Entrepreneurship Banquet for the Center for Entrepreneurship here at Belmont.  It was a night to celebrate the many accomplishments of our students.  We had a full house of students alumni, family, community supporters, faculty and staff join together for this wonderful event — over 130 people attended.

Here are many of the members of the team we just took out to Anaheim.

Special honors were given to John Price and Sam Dryden and their venture Lifetime Reel, who were named our Student Entrepreneurs of the Year for 2009.

John and Sam’s business is making family documentaries.  So as a special thank you to the Moench Family, who have endowed our entrepreneurship speakers series, we gave them a certificate to have a documentary done to commemorate their father who was a very successful entrepreneur here in Nashville.

Here are his two sons, Ernie and Lynn, who attend many of the events their family make possible through their give to our Center.

Well, I am off tomorrow morning for three weeks in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria and Germany with 20 students.  I plan to keep up with blogging as best I can.  I have my trusty global modem that — if it works as promised — should give me access through most of our journeys.  Several of the students will be studying International Entrepreneurship on this trip.
