After a two-year hiatus, Bulldog Bash returned to campus last weekend with a bang.
Bulldog Bash, an annual event first hosted in 2018 under then-Yale College Dean Marvin Chun, is a celebration on Old Campus with music, food and drinks for undergraduate students. The event is a collaboration between the Yale College Dean’s office and the Schwarzman Center, with catering offered by Yale Hospitality. The theme for this past Saturday’s event centered around cultures of the Latin American diaspora. The Schwarzman Center hosted several Latinx artists including ChocQuibTown, Mexican Institute of Sound, Villano Antillano, Batalá New York and Rimarkable, and Yale Hospitality distributed a menu including ceviche, empanadas and mock mojitos.
“It’s really nice to see [Bulldog Bash] reestablish people having fun, you know, relaxing, getting to know each other, and you know, just the excitement at the start of a new school year,” Dean of Yale College Pericles Lewis told the News. “I got the sense everyone’s having a great time.”
