Celebrating Traditions and Finding New Ways to Connect

Thursday, October 21, 2021

This fall, Yale College welcomed the Class of 2025 as the largest incoming class in Yale’s history. After a year of remote learning for many, students’ sense of excitement for being back together in person to live and learn on campus is clear. Though things might look a little different as residential college life has adapted to the “new normal,” students have found creative new ways to stay connected and enjoy their time together.

The power of place one feels when being on Yale’s campus—and the sense of community and comradery that goes with it—is stronger than ever. In this spirit, we look forward to welcoming back our alumni celebrating reunions this year to reconnect with the campus and with one another, but in the meantime, we hope you’ll enjoy seeing students doing the same.
