A pumpkin patch, zipline and a Ferris wheel were just a few of the things found at the 2024 Day to Dream. 

For the fourth annual Hope Summit this week, students were given Wednesday off from classes to participate in the festivities spread around Belmont’s campus.  

Students made s’mores around a fire pit, wore costumes and played carnival games.  

“Day to Dream is a campus-wide celebration for everyone in our community to create lasting memories of joy, connection and support,” according to Belmont’s website. “It’s our fall festival.”
