Bulldogs in the Bluegrass is an innovative summer internship program designed to bring approximately 28 Yale students to the Greater Louisville, Kentucky area for the summer of 2008. The program, sponsored by the Yale Club of Kentucky, is now in its 10th year, with nearly 300 Yale undergraduates having already experienced the best summer of their lives as Bulldogs in the Bluegrass! The mission of Bulldogs in the Bluegrass is to employ hardworking Yale students in meaningful internship positions, introduce these students to the assets and leadership of the Louisville community, provide benefit to local employers and enhance the community as a whole. Housing is free at the University of Louisville, and each student receives a $200 travel stipend. A variety of events are offered throughout the summer, ranging from canoeing and hiking in Appalachia to a day of racing at Churchill Downs.
