This special issue of the Yale Daily News celebrates the graduation of the Yale College class of 2023 and was produced by the editors of the Managing Board of 2025, with work from our staff and contributors.

Each year, the News puts out a special issue celebrating commencement; the issue aims to highlight the defining moments of the class of 2023’s time at Yale and offers graduates a space for reflection. In this issue, we feature articles summarizing some of the biggest news stories of the past four years, photo collages capturing each year’s milestones and personal columns from soon-to-be alumni. 

We would like to thank all the graduating seniors who have ever contributed to the News, and we are particularly grateful to the graduating members of the Managing Board of 2023 for leading this newsroom during the 2021-22 academic year. We learned so much from you all and are excited to see what you accomplish in the future.  

Congratulations to the students, families and loved ones of the class of 2023!
