The Buntin Initiative—generously supported by the Buntin Family—is a collaboration between the Jack C. Massey College of Business, O’More College of Architecture & Design, Watkins College of Art, Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business, and College of Music & Performing Arts—designed to empower students building ventures in the creative economy.
Since its launch in 2023, the competition has awarded over $20,000 to student founders, with this year’s winners continuing to build on that momentum.

The initiative honors the legacy of Jeffrey Buntin Sr., whose vision continues to inspire hope, creativity, and entrepreneurial action across campus.

We are deeply grateful to the Buntin Family for their continued investment in Belmont students and their belief in the power of student entrepreneurship.

IT’S TOMORROW!!
