Program Overview
Over three hundred Yalies have participated in Bulldogs Across America, and their experiences are well documented on the various cities' websites. The Bulldogs programs are independently sponsored by local alumni, but are joined in a cooperative network headed by Rowan Claypool, Founder of the original program in Louisville, Bulldogs in the Bluegrass. For more program information visit the individual sites listed below or go to www.bulldogsacrossamerica.com.
