Hello Ryan,

You can add a new Calculated column that shows just the date portion of the
Begin field:
Modify settings and Columns > Add a new column
Column Name: BeginDate (or whatever)
Type: Calculated
Description: (whatever)
Formula: [Begin] (just double click Begin)
Data type returned: Date and Time
Date and Time Format: Date Only
Add to default view: (up to you)

Then modify the view to include your new BeginDate column instead of Begin.

HTH
