DREAM’s first Friday of the semester brought the older DREAMers to campus to reconnect with mentors and help the recruit new mentors at Middlebury’s Activities Fair for students. Mentors went to Pine Meadow and hosted their kickoff BBQ, which has become a startof-the-semester tradition. Mentees from John Graham Court joined them at Pine Meadow. Rain rescheduled a trip to the apple orchard, so mentors and mentees watched movies and played board games on campus.
