The DREAM office welcomed 10 seniors to the Alumni Organization on May 10. Due to inclement weather on May 25, the culminating event to the Dartmouth ropes course and Storrs Pond was cancelled. Instead, mentoring pairs enjoyed an indoor picnic, a movie, and one-on-one time to celebrate the end of a great term! DREAM would like to thank Katie Gibson for her year as a co-chair. We will miss her positive and supportive leadership. Katie Tai and Avalon McRae will join Hannah Coleman as co-chairs this summer.

There were three regular DREAM Fridays in May. There was no DREAM on May 17 as there were no classes for Dartmouth’s spring weekend. Mentors and youth participated in one-on-one and small group activities on Dartmouth’s campus. Activities included basketball, swimming, soccer, and arts and crafts. Mentoring pairs joined the Windsor/Union Square and Hollow Drive Local Programs, as well as two other on-campus mentoring groups, for a Spring Fling event on May 10. Activities included a pie throwing contest, face painting, tie-dye, and a raffle.
