Being a Blue Dog is About...

"Being a Blue Dog cultivated my sportsmanship and leadership—whether I was on the court, the field, or the sidelines cheering my peers on. We held our heads high even if we were not ringing the victory bell after every competition. Rumsey was a space to practice celebrating the highs with grace and valuing the lows as a learning experience. These are just a few experiences that have had a lasting effect on who I am to this day, and I am thankful for them." -Delando Clarke '14, Wesleyan University
