At Yale, 2025 brought our community together in ways both steeped in tradition and engaged in the future.
In April, the university celebrated the inauguration of President Maurie McInnis during a week of events across the campus and the city of New Haven. A few months later, the community gathered for the opening a much anticipated "living village" designed to give back to the natural environment more than it takes.
It was also a year marked, as ever, by historic scientific breakthroughs by Yale's scholars, creative endeavors that inspired hearts and minds on campus and beyond, and innovative work that is improving lives in every corner of the nation and the world.
As the year draws to a close, we present 25 of our favorite stories that were published on Yale News in 2025 - those that informed us, inspired us, or gave us hope.
