 Return to: Honors Program
The complex problems impeding human flourishing around the world demand solutions that are only possible through collaboration. Committed individuals, communities, and institutions will need to learn to work together, combining available resources in innovative ways. The Belmont Innovation Labs’ Social Innovation Fellowship equips students across the university, from any and all majors, for the work of social innovation through a cohort experience consisting in a sequence of Honors course sections, international and vocational experiences, mentoring, and research. Each student will be trained in data collection and analysis, learn from leaders in community storytelling, contribute to an ongoing project of social innovation, and develop their own research projects that pursue and measure social impact in the city of Nashville. Each cohort of 15 Global Honors students is selected in the college admissions process, and each cohort is designed to bring together a diversity of backgrounds and interests, encourage mutual support and accountability, and strengthen each other as a multidisciplinary learning community.
