Belmont Golf Facilities INSIDE GOLF HOUSE TENNESSEE OLD HICKORY CC TEACHING ROOM The indoor teaching room is dedicated to Old Hickory Country Club, and will honor selected long-time Old Hickory members and their professionals by highlighting outstanding accomplishments and significant marks in golf. The Jere Ervin Family has graciously spearheaded the efforts to recognize Old Hickory Country Club in such a unique manner. State-of-the-art video and computer equipment has been installed to provide our pupils with the very best instrument tools available. The three camera system and computer file with a library of great player swings makes the Old Hickory Country Club Teaching Room one of the best in the golf industry. FRED RUSSELL GOLF LIBRARY The world of sports journalism has no peer when you mention the name Fred Russell. The late editor of the now defunct Nashville Banner, who has been honored by numerous sports organizations across the country, is honored by his friends with the name dedication of the Golf Library. The Library features a growing collection of golf books, scrapbooks, and magazines. A Golf Link weather computer provides up to the minute weather and storm detection for both the golfers and superintendents. This cozy room was the kitchen in the antebellum mansion, and its fireplace still has the original iron pot hanger. The decor of the library reflects the rich traditional style developed for Golf House by Kathy Carr, senior interior decorator for Earl Swenson Associates.

GOLF HOUSE TENNESSEE The Little Course at Conner Lane and the facilities of Golf House Tennessee will serve as the primary practice facility for Belmont women's golf for the 2010-11 season. The Little Course is located at Golf House Tennessee in Franklin. The course was built in 1995 and was designed by Bob Cupp. This challenging par three executive course offers golfers the chance to improve their short game under all types of conditions. The course features two double greens, nine bunkers, two ponds, and several elevated tees. The Golf House is the home to the major Tennessee golf organizations and the Tennessee Junior Golf Academy. The Academy is one of the top teaching programs in the nation and provides the children of Tennessee the chance to learn about the game. Golf House is also home to the Tennessee Golf Association Junior Golf Tour, which organizes and operates junior tournaments across the state. To learn more about the course and take a virtual tour, go to the Golf House Tennessee website at www.golfhousetennessee.com and look for The Little Course link. OLD HICKORY COUNTRY CLUB

SARA INGRAM USGA MUSEUM ROOM The United States Golf Association has the world's premier golf museum at Far Hills, New Jersey. For the first time ever, the USGA has agreed to furnish a special room with memorabilia and displays from its museum in a regional association home. The USGA's exhibit for 2006 is a history of the U.S. Open. The entire house serves as a hall of fame home to trophies and golf memorabilia of Tennessee’s present and former players.

The team also practices and plays one of Middle Tennessee’s oldest clubs, the Old Hickory Country Club. This course, which opened in 1926, is located northeast of downtown Nashville. It is a challenging Par 71 course that offers golfers of all skill levels an enjoyable experience. The tree-lined course has played host to many state championships, an USGA qualifier and the 2005 Women's State Amateur. During the last four seasons, Belmont has hosted two dual matches with Lipscomb and two Belmont Invitationals at the course, including the one planned for April of 2011.

In her first nine seasons as head coach, the Bruins have taken enormous strides. During the 2009-2010 season, the Bruins posted seven top-10 finishes, including a season-best third place finish at the Austin Peay Intercollegiate. Bradford has embraced Belmont's ideal of crafting true studentathletes, as her team continues to earn academic recognition year after year. In 2009-10, every member of the women's golf team earned Academic All-Conference honors. All told, 29 golfers have earned Atlantic Sun All-Academic honors during Bradford’s tenure at Belmont. In addition to those conference awards, three BU golfers were honored nationally for their academic work. Kelly Maguigan, Jennifer Newman, and Janet Steen were named to the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) All-American Scholar Team. In addition, the program has produced several golfers who have moved on to future success in golf after their time as a Bruin has ended. Sarah Burkhead Robson (1998-2002) is currently the head women's golf coach at Austin Peay, while Tracy Parsons (20012003) is an assistant women's golf coach at the University of Texas and previously served in the same role at Vanderbilt. In addition to her Belmont duties, Lissa serves as Junior Golf Director for the Tennessee Golf Foundation.

As a senior in high school at Nashville's Harpeth Hall, she won the TSSAA State High School Individual Championship. After her prep career, she was a four-year letterwinner at the University of Alabama. While playing for the Crimson Tide, she served as team captain for two years and was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Academic team. Also during this time, Lissa captured two Tennessee Women's Amateur Championships. Following her collegiate career, she served as an assistant professional at several country clubs throughout the South including two in the Nashville area: Belle Meade Country Club and the Gaylord Springs Golf Club. In 1995, she joined the Tennessee Golf Foundation.

The honor recognizes Bradford’s services to the game of golf in Tennessee, especially at Belmont and with junior golf in the state. "It is such an honor to be recognized with this award," said Bradford. "To be acknowledged by your peers for doing something that you are passionate about is very humbling, and it is great to be a part of a community that gives back so much to the game we all love."

Belmont University

In the mid-1800s, Belmont University’s campus was known as Adelicia Acklen’s Belle Monte estate. The antebellum mansion remains today, flanked by university buildings separated in age by more than a century. The first educational institution on the estate was the original Belmont College (1890-1913), offering elementary school through junior college education to young ladies. The school merged with Ward Seminary to become the prestigious Ward-Belmont School for Women (1913-1951) and in 1951, became the coed Belmont College. In 1991, the college became Belmont University, and this year, began the 121st year of higher education on this site. Belmont continually reflects its rich heritage as it excels in academics. For 2011, U.S. News & World Report placed Belmont University at No. 5 in the Best Regional Universities—South category. Perhaps even more notable than the recent top five ranking, Belmont has stood out for three consecutive years as one of U.S. News & World Report’s most cited “Schools to Watch” in the nation. Belmont’s vision is to be a premier teaching university bringing together the best of liberal arts and professional education in a Christian community of learning and service. Belmont strives to empower men and women from diverse backgrounds to engage and transform the world with disciplined intelligence, compassion, courage and faith. Believing that

every student is created for a purpose in life, Belmont encourages students to explore their passions and develop their talents to meet the world’s needs. Belmont’s boundaries continue to extend beyond the Nashville campus through its Cool Springs campus south of Nashville and organized programs such as the Washington Center program and music business’ Belmont West in Los Angeles and Belmont East in New York City. Study-abroad programs place students in China, Costa Rica, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, South Africa and Spain. Belmont also serves as a regional site of the East-West Center for the Development of Asian Studies. Vital to the Belmont student experience are service learning, volunteerism and mission projects that invest in surrounding communities. Through the efforts of students and faculty, Belmont has touched lives in Nashville’s charitable organizations, its growing Hispanic community, area tutoring programs, neighboring businesses and mentoring programs, as well as inner-city and overseas mission projects, including trips to the Appalachian Mountains and the Ukraine. Among its student body of more than 5,900, are students from every state and more than 29 countries. In addition to seven baccalaureate degrees in over 75 areas of study,

2010-11 Belmont Women’s Golf -- 16

Belmont offers master’s degrees in Business Administration, Accountancy, English, Education, Sport Administration, Music, Nursing and Occupational Therapy, as well as doctorates in Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Under the leadership of President Robert Fisher, Belmont celebrates more than a century of an accomplished academic heritage and commitment to educational innovation. Notably, Belmont has earned the Atlantic Sun Academic Champion Trophy seven of the last nine years. Moreover, Belmont has recently opened several impressive new facilities on campus, including McWhorter Hall and two new freshmen residences—Patton Hall and Bear House. Still, one of Belmont’s biggest achievements came in 2008 with the hosting of the Town Hall Presidential Debate, the first presidential debate to be held in Tennessee. On the one-year anniversary of the debate, the university announced that it will open a College of Law with students starting classes in fall 2011. This past October, the university broke ground on the Randall and Sadie Baskin Center which will house the College of Law when it opens in 2012. Belmont’s remarkable growth and achievement certainly give credence to its theme, From Here to Anywhere!


University Administration

DR. ROBERT FISHER Belmont University President Dr. Robert (Bob) Fisher serves as President of Belmont University, a position he has held since April 2000. During his tenure the University's enrollment has risen by 81 percent while the campus itself has expanded significantly with the additions of the Curb Event Center and Beaman Student Life Center, the Gordon E. Inman Center, the Troutt Theater complex, McWhorter Hall and several new residence halls and parking garages. Under his leadership Belmont University also broke into the Top 5 for the first time in the Best Regional Universities South category in U.S. News & World Report's analysis of America's Best Colleges. Soaring to No. 5 in the 2011 edition, Belmont was also honored for the third year in a row as one of the top schools nationwide for "leading the pack in improvements and innovative changes." Academically, the university has added numerous new interdisciplinary programs in the past decade, including Social Entrepreneurship, New Century Journalism, Pharmacy and, most recently, the Belmont College of Law which will welcome its first class in 2012. In addition, Fisher worked to secure Belmont as the host site for the 2008 Town Hall Presidential Debate, a historic event broadcast worldwide that also led to Fisher's selection as 2008 Tennessean of the Year and 2010 Nashvillian of the Year. But Dr. Fisher's greatest sense of accomplishment comes not from new campus structures, stronger endowments or an ever-increasing student population. Rather, he measures achievement through witnessing education's impact on each individual student. "The student is the focus of all our efforts here at Belmont," Fisher said, "and our top priority is meeting the needs of those students. My life's mission is to help create experiences that transform people, especially students, in ways that enable them to become all they were created to be." Prior to his appointment at Belmont, Fisher was vice president for academic affairs at Arkansas State University for four years and was dean of the School of Business at Henderson State University, his alma mater, for 10 years. Fisher earned a B.S.B.A. from Henderson State, an M.B.A. from the University of Memphis and a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas. In addition to his success as both faculty member and higher education administrator, Fisher is also an accomplished author with his most recent work, Life Is a Gift: Inspiration from the Soon Departed, released in 2008. Co-authored with his wife Judy, Life Is a Gift features a collection of les-

sons learned from interviews with 104 terminally ill patients of Alive Hospice in Nashville. Dr. Fisher previously co-authored Real Dream Teams: Seven Practices Used by World-Class Team Leaders to Achieve Extraordinary Results, published by St. Lucie Press, with Belmont's Vice President of University Advancement Dr. Bo Thomas. Expressing knowledge gained from his business degrees and management positions, Dr. Fisher has published numerous articles on management and leadership and has consulted with a wide variety of organizations on human resource and strategic planning issues, including Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Alltel, Arkla Gas and the U.S. Department of Transportation, among others. In 1992, Fisher served in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research and consulting with the National Institute of Public Administration. He also provided a keynote address at the Arabian Society for Human Resource Management Conference in Bahrain in 1998. Active in his community, Fisher has served in numerous volunteer roles with such organizations as Alignment Nashville, the Nashville Alliance for Public Education and the PENCIL Foundation, all of which support Nashville's public schools. He also is a past chair of the Greater Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. He is an active member of the Rotary Club of Nashville, participates in Nashville's Agenda and is a 2001 graduate of Leadership Nashville. He also serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the Southern Financial Partners, a division of Southern Bancorp, Inc., and is a director for Fifth Third Bank, Tennessee Division. In addition, he is or has been a member of the Board of Directors for the United Way of Metropolitan Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Boy Scouts of Middle Tennessee, the Nashville Symphony, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee, Music City Coalition, TICUA, Cumberland Region Tomorrow and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and Executive Committee. Married for 40 years, Dr. Fisher and his wife Judy share in their commitment to Belmont University, where Mrs. Fisher provides support through her role as campus-wide coordinator of interior construction and exterior landscaping/lighting. The Fishers are the proud parents of three grown children and have two wonderful sons-in-law, one wonderful daughter-in-law and six perfect grandsons.

Now entering his 15th year as Director of Athletics, Mike Strickland has led Belmont's Department of Athletics through its infancy stages as a new NCAA Division I program to become one that sees annual success on the field and in the classroom. During his tenure at Belmont, the program has expanded the number of teams it fields, joined the Atlantic Sun Conference, enhanced its facilities, and established a reputation producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes. Since arriving in Nashville in 1996, Strickland has overseen the inception of six new sports at Belmont: women's soccer, women's golf and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field. In addition, the University has built the Frances Bond Davis Tennis Courts and the Whitten Soccer Complex, as well the most recent partnership with Metro Parks for athletic fields at Rose Park. This exciting new venture will house Belmont baseball, softball, soccer, and track & field and will open in the spring of 2011. Two of the most important achievements of his tenure at Belmont are the acceptance of Belmont into the Atlantic Sun Conference and the opening of the Curb Event Center. During his tenure, Strickland has overseen a program expansion from 11 to 17 teams of competition, spearheaded membership into the Atlantic Sun Conference, spurred athletic facility enhancement and forged a reputation of producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes. In 2008, Belmont became the first school in Atlantic Sun Conference history to represent the league in three consecutive NCAA Men's Basketball Championships. Adding conference championships in women's cross country, women's soccer and volleyball during the past academic year, Belmont Athletics has won a staggering 26 Atlantic Sun Conference Championships since becoming a member institution in 2001-02 far and away the league standard. In addition, the school has hosted nine conference championships over the past five years, most recently the 2006 A-Sun Volleyball Championship. Strickland has taken a leadership role in the A-Sun serving as chairman of the tournament committee and presently serves as a member of the conference's membership committee. In addition to the program's success on the field, his tenure has seen the building of the exquisite Curb Event Center. The $52 million facility, which opened in the fall of 2003, has become the

centerpiece of the athletics program. The complex houses a 5,000-seat arena for basketball and volleyball, locker rooms for all sports, a training facility and weight room, as well as administrative offices for the Athletic Department. Off the field, the athletic department has made academic achievement the cornerstone of its definition of success. Belmont has won the Atlantic Sun Academic Trophy seven of the past eight years. The Bruins boasted over two-thirds of their student athletes with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale during the past academic year. Belmont is the only school to win the trophy five straight times (2002-2006). Also of significance, Belmont has earned distinction from the NCAA in each of their Academic Progress Rate (APR) reports. Strickland brings varied years of experience to the program, including nine years as athletics director at Murray State University prior to coming to Belmont. While at Murray State, Strickland served on numerous Ohio Valley Conference committees as well as serving on the NCAA I-AA football advisory committee and the NCAA rifle committee. Prior to serving at Murray State, Strickland was an Associate Athletics Director at Wichita State University from 1983-87, where he was responsible for all business operations for the department. Strickland earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Georgia Southern University and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Georgia.

Atlantic Sun Conference For more than 30 years the Atlantic Sun Conference has stood for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas with a focus on the balance between the two for its student-athletes. The A-Sun boasts a blend of the most dynamic and prestigious private and public institutions in the region, with all committed to the conference goal of Building Winners for Life. BUILDING Continuing a tradition of academic achievement, a record 60 percent of all student-athletes earned All-Academic status during the 2009-10 academic year. Lipscomb edged out Belmont, the seventime winner of the All-Academic Trophy, to win its first such trophy with close to 72 percent of its the student-athletes achieving All-Academic status with grade point averages of a 3.00, or better. Several Bisons teams received national recognition for their success in the classroom. Both the men’s and women’s track & field teams posted team GPAs among the top five in the nation - the only school in the country to boast that distinction. Jacksonville’s women’s track team received their ninth straight USTFCCCA All-Academic honor. Lipscomb’s women’s basketball team posted the ninth best GPA in the country and the conference champion volleyball team led five A-Sun schools in receiving an AVCA Team Academic Award. The Stetson men’s tennis team led the nation with nine student-athletes earning the honor of Scholar Athlete from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. A total of five A-Sun schools and 24 student-athletes received recogntion from the ITA. Stetson and Belmont joined only 16 other Division I schools considered an All-Academic squad in both men’s and women’s tennis. For the first time the NCAA released single-year APR for Division I head coaches in six sports dating back to 2003-04, the beginning of the program. All 11 A-Sun schools produced a coach who had a year of a perfect score of 1000 and the league produced a total of 25 seasons with scores of 1000. Seven of the conference’s men’s and women’s basketball recorded at least one score of 1000 and five teams had a score of 1000 in 2008-09, the most recent year recorded by the NCAA. WINNERS Four A-Sun teams received Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association All-Sports Trophies in recognition of their performances in NCAA postseason play. Lipscomb’s softball team, ETSU’s men’s tennis squad plus UNF’s men’s golf team and women’s tennis carried the conference to the third-highest total by any one conference. Golf continued to boom in the conference as three league members on the women’s side advanced to NCAA play for the first time in conference play. Women’s golf became the first sport in the conference to produce three NCAA participants since baseball in 2003. At the NCAA Regionals, ETSU’s Nina Muehl opened with an 8-under 64, the single lowest round carded in all of Division I golf and became just the second golfer from the A-Sun to earn a spot in the NCAA Championships The Ospreys’ men’s golf team spent the year ranked among the top programs in the country alongside ETSU. Both advanced to NCAA postseason play and the Ospreys made the nationals for the first time as a conference member. Sophomore Sean Dale earned All-America honors and qualified for the US Amateur, as did his teammates Kevin Alywin and Kevin Phelan. Phelan opened his summer by qualifying for the US Open at Pebble Beach. ETSU’s Rhys Enoch tied for the individual title at the NCAA East Regional and his play carried into summer as he made his second Palmer Cup team and advanced all the way to the quarterfinals of the British Amateur.

Individual performances stood out on the diamond as FGCU’s Chris Sale became a consensus All-America en route to becoming the conference’s fourth first-round pick in the last two years. ETSU’s Paul Hoilman contended for the national triple crown and burst onto the national scene by winning the first-ever home run derby competition - contested at historic Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. Mercer’s Jacob Tanis finished one RBI shy of the national lead in pacing the Bears back to the top of the A-Sun for the first time in more than 25 years. In softball, two hurlers established themselves among the best in the nation. Lipscomb’s Whitney Kiihnl and USC Upstate’s Morgan Childers each topped the 30-win mark - a first for the conference. The two traded the national lead in ERA throughout the season and when the year came to a close, Kiihnl finished with the best mark in the nation with Childers taking a close second. Kiihnl and Childers ranked second and third in the country in fewest hits allowed per seven innings. For the first time in league history, the conference’s last remaining charter member, Mercer, hosted the General Shale Brick Basketball Championships. The hosts advanced to the final of the men’s event setting up a standing-room-only event at the University Center against ETSU. In the end the Buccaneers won back-to-back titles. Jacksonville advanced to the NIT for the straight second year and provided the league’s first win in the event since 1996 when Ben Smith connected on a game-winning 3-pointer in the final seconds to stun top-seeded Arizona State. On the women’s side ETSU became the third A-Sun school to win three straight titles, FGCU advanced to the WNIT for a third consecutive year and USC Upstate registered its first 20-win season as a Divisioon I program. FOR LIFE Alums from the Atlantic Sun, both recent and historic continued to excel at the highest levels. Within the span of three days, FGCU produced its first two major league baseball players. Two pitchers of the Eagles’ 2008 A-Sun Championship squad, Casey Coleman and Sale, took their talents to Chicago as Coleman broke in with the Cubs and Sale soared through the White Sox system after spending less than two months in the minors. In late June, former Stetson All-American Chris Johnson returned to the Astros lineup and hit over .380 his first two months as a regular. On the links, former ETSU star Rhys Davies has posted a solid rookie season on the European Tour. In the spring he picked up his first win and added back-to-back runner-up finishes to move into the top 50 in the world for the first time as a professional. One of his second-place showings occurred at the Wales Open where he closed with a record nineunder-par round 62 on the Ryder Cup course at the Celtic Manor. His stellar play placed Davies eighth on ESPN’s “Top 25 Golfers Under 25” list. The conference will have representation at the Ryder Cup as former league individual champion Colin Montgomerie (1985 with former member Houston Baptist) will captain the European team. Montgomerie will be the second conference alum to lead a Ryder Cup squad. Hal Sutton (Centenary) served as captain for the United States in 2004.

Nashville -- Music City U.S.A.

Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the entertainment, cultural, and commercial center of the Mid-South. With a metropolitan population more than 1.5 million, Nashville is one of the fastest growing markets in the country. In the past decade alone, the population of the Nashville area has grown by nearly 30 percent. ‘The Music City’ can best be described as a pleasant mix of big city entertainment and "down home" friendliness. Nashville is located in the heart of our nation’s bustling core. Major cities such as St. Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis, Atlanta, and Birmingham can all be reached by car within 3-5 hours. And when going from work to play, Nashville has it all. The city offers a multitude of sporting events, recreational opportunities, restaurants, parks, and shopping malls. The sports landscape in Nashville has changed dramatically over the past decade with the introduction of major professional sports into the area. The arrival of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans in 1998 brought instant credibility and excitement to the Mid-State. The Titans have won two division titles and one conference championship under longtime Head Coach Jeff Fisher. Tennessee represented the AFC in Super Bowl XXXIV, playing the St. Louis Rams in one of the most memorable games in NFL history. With star running back Chris Johnson, the future looks bright for the powder blue and white. Home for the Titans is LP Field, a 69,000 seat, state-of-the-art facility located on the east bank of the Cumberland River across from downtown. Aside from the NFL, LP Field also plays host to several major concerts and international sporting events. Not to be outdone, the Nashville Predators have introduced the thrills of the National Hockey League to Middle Tennessee. In 2010, the Predators advanced to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a fifth time in six seasons. The Preds skate in one of Nashville’s downtown landmarks, the Bridgestone Arena. The 18,000 seat Bridgestone Arena is a regular venue for touring groups. Another constant among Nashville professional sports over the past two decades has been the Nashville Sounds. The Sounds, who have called Music City home since 1978, compete in the Pacific Coast League as the Class AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. In recent years, players like Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Yovani Gallardo, and Ricky Weeks have called Nashville home. The 2006 PCL Champion Sounds play at Greer Stadium, located just minutes from downtown. The Nashville Superspeedway has become the area's top

racing venue, hosting NASCAR and IRL events for the past seven summers. Furthermore, Nashville has established itself as the ideal place to host a major sporting event. In the past decade alone, the city has hosted events such as the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament, the SEC men's and women's basketball tournaments, numerous AAU national championships, and the U.S. Swimming Championships. Recently, Nashville was awarded the 2014 NCAA Women’s Final Four. Each year, Nashville hosts the highly-popular Country Music Marathon and the Music City Bowl - which now pits teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conferences each December at LP Field. Recreation is second-to-none in Nashville. Located in the picturesque hills of Middle Tennessee, Nashville boasts thousands of acres of public parks and offers a variety of outdoor activities like golf, boating, fishing, and hiking. Known as "Music City USA", Nashville is a city whose musical tastes range from country to rock to gospel. The city has several major concert venues and many big-name concert tours consider Nashville a “must-stop.” The city also serves as home to the Grand Ole Opry, the nation's longest running weekly radio show, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Nashville has long been the mecca of the country music industry and is one of the top recording centers in the world. All of the music industry's major recording labels have a presence in Music Row, just north of the Belmont campus. The nightlife in downtown Nashville offers something for everyone. Amidst the savory sights and sounds of historic Second Avenue sit some of the most venerable hot spots anywhere. From Wildhorse Saloon and Hard Rock Cafe to Famous Dave’s BBQ and The Pancake Pantry, it is not uncommon to bump into stars of stage and screen in Nashville. Nashville's cultural environment earned the city its other nickname, the "Athens of the South." Nashville is well known as a major education center. The area's 10 accredited four-year and postgraduate institutions, including Belmont, are an integral part of the economic and cultural identity of the area. In addition to its educational institutions, the city offers numerous cultural and artistic venues. It is home to nine performing arts facilities, including the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. TPAC is the home to a wide range of events, including Broadway musicals and performances by the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, and the Nashville Symphony. The city is also home to seven art galleries, including the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. The Frist Center, housed in the city's old main post office, presents a wide assortment of visual arts exhibitions. Nashville boasts 25 museums (including the Tennessee State Museum), numerous historic sites (like The Hermitage - home of President Andrew Jackson, an exact replica of the Parthenon, and the Natchez Trace Parkway), and an upgraded public library system that includes a new $50 million downtown library. Lastly, Nashville is the cornerstone of the Mid-South economy. It has become a leader in printing and publishing, music and entertainment, finance and insurance, healthcare management, automobile and other related industry, manufacturing and tourism. Internationally known companies like Bridgestone/Firestone, Caterpillar Financial, Dell, Dollar General, HCA, and Nissan have significant operations in the city. Sporting a mild climate with distinct changes in season warm summers, colorful autumns, brisk winters, and beautiful springs - no two days are alike in Nashville.
