Why was Belmont’s fall break moved?

Fall Break – originally scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 16 and Friday, Oc. 17 – will be moved to Monday, Oct. 6 – Wednesday, Oct. 8, the days around the Town Hall Debate. This change was deemed necessary because of the spaces required for the event. No classes will be held during these three days, with the exception of Wednesday evening classes that will be held as scheduled. We are in the process of considering how we will make up the extra MWF class that will be lost due to the extension of Fall Break to three days.
