SCOTT LYNCH ’15
“The history department at Belmont Abbey College has given me a chance to develop capabilities I had not thought I was capable of achieving. I have constantly found that my teachers were always willing and eager to help me persevere in difficulty and to fulfill my potential.”
PATRICK MCHENRY ‘99
“Had I not experienced the Abbey, I don’t think I would be in Congress today. I don’t think I would be as happy personally and have a fulfilled spiritual life and fulfilled personal life as I do without my Abbey education and training.”
