While students, faculty and staff gathered in front of television screens across campus to watch the swearing-in ceremony of President Barack Obama, many Bulldogs braved the frigid weather to get a more personal look. In the audience on the National Mall in Washington were members of the D.C. Dawgs Alumni Association chapter as well as students who traveled to the nation’s Capitol for the events. Some from UGA had a better view than others, working as staff to organize the crowds or in their military capacity.
