Class Day, a Yale College tradition since the 19th century, includes the awarding of academic, artistic, and athletic prizes; speeches and other contributions by members of the graduating class; and an address by a notable speaker. For the Yale 2020 celebrations, Class Day has been expanded into “Class Week,” with new videos released daily.
The program for May 17 includes the Class Day address by Dr. Jean Bennett TD ’76 and a performance of the Yale College alma mater, “Bright College Years,” by the Yale Bands and Glee Club.
