College enrollment is supposed to be circling the drain. Apparently nobody told Belhaven. The Mississippi institution, founded in 1883, is seeing record enrollment while plenty of universities are scrambling to fill seats.
Belhaven President Roger Parrott joins Grant Callen on The Empower Podcast to talk about how the school grew while sticking to its Christian mission, when a college degree is worth the debt, and what happens when ChatGPT can crank out your term paper before you’ve finished your coffee.
Parrott also explains why he ditched long-range strategic planning. After three decades on the job, he’d rather talk about sailboats than sit around a conference table pretending to know what God has in mind for 2035. Somewhere, a consultant just lost a billable hour.
And yes, Belhaven football games are free. There’s your one college expense you can quit complaining about.

Fantastic! Although the neighborhood has a lot of libtards, Belhaven is so beautiful and the best of Jackson. The 1% commission has done a great job repaving lots of streets, there are NEW houses being built, and lots being restored. Riverside Dr. is the most beautiful stretch in the city. Plus Manship St. alone has more culinary talent than most any other town! Great to see this.
And thank Capitol PD for making it so much safer!
Belhaven is a good little college that is nice and offers a good education. The neighborhood around it is beautiful and now that Cap PD exists it’s safe to live there and attend. Hope they continue to grow.
Belhaven has a real board. Wish MC would take a lesson.
Belhaven has really done well with its online programs.
I wish JPS would have sold Newell Field to them. Belhaven offered to buy it, fix it up and allow JPS to use it on Friday nights and they declined. Instead, they built a nice little 2000 seat stadium on their campus (all chairbacks, beautiful press box and big video board) and Newell Field is a blight on Riverside Drive.
What could have been.
"good little college" That sounds a little condescending. Its a great college. Glad it continues to see growth.
@12:37 p.m., you just keep yourself from turning this into something political, could you? Crawl back into your hole and stay there.
Refreshing that many have awakened to the pervasive and relentless anti-Christian and anti-white racism taught in the majority of U.S. colleges and universities. Many are also very well aware that the professors who instill such beliefs in impressionable young students either have really big noses, extremely kinky hair or burning sexual desires for members of the same sex.
The capital police need to be moved to the zoo area. The zoo area needs to be cleaned up Why do you have to be a rich white liberal to have a good police department. Poor blacks deserve better
