About Tom Bellomo

Dr. B began his teaching career overseas in Spain, where he served with a local mission for seven years. At the high school level, he taught math and science, and for two of those years, he taught a self-contained sixth-grade class. His sixth-grade class included students from ten different countries, an experience that inspired him to pursue a degree in Applied Linguistics upon returning to the United States to further his passion for teaching international students. He leveraged his experience and degree to teach adult ESOL, and later to teach Applied Linguistics in a graduate teaching program at a private university. He additionally served as department program manager and co-chair, and eventually became his college’s QEP Director, holding the position for seven years while the institution underwent the accreditation review process through SACS-COC (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges).

Dr. B’s research, presentations, and publications are focused on pedagogy, principles behind accent reduction, and morphological analysis. The latter led to the creation of a practical workbook for building college-level vocabulary using roots and affixes.

"I choose to work at CSU because of the shared values and worldview of its community. Also, I have always viewed my career in education as a true vocation. Originally, vocation referred primarily to a divine calling, such as the clergy, and has since been extended to occupations in general. I find it tremendously rewarding to sense that I’m fulfilling what God has destined for my life."
