Yale will celebrate Commencement 2021 from May 21 to 24 in a series of ceremonies recognizing the achievements of more than 3,500 graduates across the university.
Spread across four days, the events some in person, some online only will incorporate many longtime customs familiar to generations of Yalies while accounting for the exceptional circumstances of the past year and adhering to public health guidelines. The rigorous choreography allowing schools and residential colleges to gather graduates in person involves necessary limits on duration and group size, as well as social distancing requirements.

The curriculum asks students to, among other things, track their sleep patterns, keep a gratitude journal, perform random acts of kindness, and take note of whether, over time, these behaviors correlate with a positive change in their general mood.

The Yale happiness class, formally known as Psyc 157: Psychology and the Good Life, is one of the most popular classes to be offered in the university’s 320-year history. The class was only ever taught in-person once, during the spring 2018 semester, as a 1,200-person lecture course in the largest space on campus.
Over 3.3 million people have signed up, for a free 10-week class titled “the Science of Well-Being.” When lockdowns began last March, enrollment skyrocketed.
