Hats Of Class Day

Yale University

Each year at Class Day, held the Sunday before Commencement, soon-to-be graduates from Yale College gather for a festive celebration featuring a notable speaker (this year, the author Min Jin Lee '90), the awarding of prizes for academic, artistic, and athletic excellence, reflections from class members, and many Yale symbolic traditions.

Among those traditions: headgear of all shapes, sizes, and origins. This year, the Class of 2026 put their creativity on full display, from a 3D-printed tribute to New Haven to a homemade childhood puppet.

Take a deeper look and learn about the inspiration behind seven of this year's hats.
