Lydia's Discover Day Experience

It was on Discover Day that I knew Belhaven was the place for me. I had an absolute blast—from the in-depth look at the theatre department to the opportunity of speaking personally with professors, to the campus tour and all the smiling faces and future friends that I met. My parents and I enjoyed every moment.

I cannot help but smile when I recall all the wonderful memories made here at Belhaven."

"My favorite thing about Belhaven is the community. There are so many different people with different backgrounds. As an athlete, it’s been great to learn more about the arts and other areas that I never would have explored if not for Belhaven. God’s work is very present on the campus and it’s a blessing to be a part of it."
