Yale College Class Day Exercises

Class Day, a Yale College tradition, takes place on Old Campus on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. It includes the awarding of academic, artistic, and athletic prizes; the celebration of undergraduates; and an address by a notable speaker. Seniors wear academic gowns and creative headgear of their choice, and process from Cross Campus to Old Campus. Poet, educator, and cultural advocate Elizabeth Alexander ’84 is the 2023 Class Day speaker.
