Tiffany Gober has recently been named the recipient of the Greater Charlotte Healthcare Executives Group (GCHEG) scholarship! This remarkable achievement makes Tiffany the first MHA student from the Abbey to receive this honor.
Being a mother of four amazing children, Tiffany has devoted nearly two decades to the field of public health with a strong desire to help people. She has worked with the Georgia Department of Public Health, the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services, the Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities, and has even had the opportunity to work with a Federally Qualified Health Center, all of which allowed her to engage in her passion for patient care.
Recently, she has considered moving from providing direct patient care to a leadership role in public health. Obtaining her Master’s in Health Administration will enable her to learn the needed skills to one day be an administrator at a community health center. She’s always had a passion for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) and is excited to continue that journey, with Belmont Abbey College giving her the opportunity to move toward that goal.
The Greater Charlotte Healthcare Executives Group (GCHEG), the local chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), is a premier healthcare society dedicated to improving healthcare delivery by cultivating exceptional leaders and promoting the mission of ACHE. This scholarship is intended to support this mission.
Congratulations, Tiffany! Your outstanding efforts have already had a huge impact on those around you, and we can’t wait to see the amazing impact you’ll have on others in the future!

Belmont Abbey College Announces Dual Enrollment Partnership with Kolbe Academy
NAPA, California, June 13, 2023 – Belmont Abbey College, a nationally ranked Catholic liberal arts college and Kolbe Academy, a globally acclaimed Catholic homeschooling and online education institution, announce jointly today an exciting expansion of dual enrollment opportunities for high school students. The collaboration provides Kolbe Academy high school students the opportunity to pursue college credits through select courses at Belmont Abbey College at a discounted rate. Dual enrollment benefits include early exposure to college curriculum, cost savings, and the potential to graduate college earlier than most.
Through this partnership with Belmont Abbey College, Kolbe Academy offers its students a more extensive selection of college-level courses, thereby accelerating their academic advancement and enabling them to accrue college credits earlier. “Students attend these classes alongside traditional college attendees, benefiting from instruction provided by exceptional faculty. The college credits earned through this dual enrollment program can be transferred to other colleges or universities based on their transfer policies,” explained Everett Buyarski, Kolbe Academy’s Academic Services Director. This is just one of the ways Kolbe Academy prepares students for the future. Mrs. Megan Lengyel, Chief Academic Officer of Kolbe Academy, shared her enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “This partnership with Belmont Abbey College enhances the academic opportunities available for our students and aligns with our dedication to enable students to prepare for college while still in high school.”
Expressing excitement about the partnership, Dr. Travis Feezell, Provost at Belmont Abbey College, said, “We are proud to embark on this educational journey with Kolbe Academy and look forward to welcoming Kolbe students as part of our community. Our shared philosophy of fostering academic excellence and maintaining strong Catholic values make this an ideal partnership and we are honored to come alongside these students as they develop academically, personally, and spiritually.”
Belmont Abbey looks forward to connecting with Kolbe Academy students and families. Martin Aucoin, Vice Provost and Dean of Admissions, remarked, “This partnership allows us to connect earlier with prospective students and their families. We can learn what they’re looking for in a college, and share what Belmont Abbey has to offer.” From dual enrollment opportunities to a variety of Premier Scholarships, Belmont Abbey is committed to making quality education affordable and educating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit.
