Welcome, class of 2028! 1,300 admitted students and their families were welcomed to campus this month for Bulldog Days and Bulldog Saturday to learn about what makes Yale special through a jam-packed schedule of activities.
Admitted students spent their time all over campus, attending events such as a New Haven Pizza Party on Old Campus, where Yale Admissions and YC&E staff served up over 500 pizzas from New Haven apizza favorites, a ‘Club Yale’ dance party held in the Schwarzman Center Commons, and student performance showcases at the Shubert Theatre.
There was no shortage of academic events either, as admitted students were invited to participate in seminars, talks, and forums hosted by various departments across campus.
Our team was proud to play a role in the planning and execution of this event, which drew over 2,300 attendees to Yale’s campus! Special acknowledgement to the Yale Admissions team, who worked extremely hard to make this event a success, and the many campus partners that provided their services.
