Graduation may take us away from Ferris State. Careers, families and life may take us all the way to Colorado.
But being a Bulldog doesn't end when you leave Big Rapids.
That's why the Mile High Bulldogs exist.
We're here to bring Ferris State alumni from across Colorado together — to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, build relationships, grow our professional networks and keep that Bulldog spirit alive more than 1,200 miles from campus.
And we believe the best way to stay connected is pretty simple:
Get Bulldogs together and have a great time.
Over the years, that has meant Red Wings vs. Avalanche parties, Lions vs. Broncos tailgates, Tigers vs. Rockies rooftop parties at Coors Field, golf tournaments, Ferris State championship watch parties and plenty of other excuses to put on the Crimson and Gold and get together.
But the events are really just the beginning.
A Bulldog who graduated in the 1970s might find themselves sharing a beer with a Bulldog who graduated last year. Someone new to Colorado can walk into an event knowing almost no one and leave having met dozens of people with something immediately in common. Business connections become friendships. Different generations of alumni meet each other. And suddenly, Colorado feels a little more like home.
That's what the Mile High Bulldogs are really about.
We're creating a place where every Ferris State alum in Colorado can walk through the door and immediately belong.
No matter when you graduated.
No matter what you studied.
No matter how long you've lived in Colorado.
If you're a Bulldog, you're one of us.
So dig out the Ferris gear. Bring your spouse, your family or another Bulldog. Come to an event. Meet someone you didn't know before.
Because Big Rapids may be a long way from the Rocky Mountains...
but Bulldog Country is wherever Bulldogs come together.
Once a Bulldog. Always a Bulldog. Even at a Mile High.
Keep the rally going
Find your Bulldogs.
Follow the next gathering, reconnect with Ferris friends, and welcome another Bulldog into the Colorado community.
