Class Day is a College tradition, bringing together students, friends, and family on the day before Convocation. The celebration begins with a reception before a program featuring student speakers and the presentation of College awards.

The event also features prominent UChicago alumni who have addressed College graduates. That list includes prominent political analyst and founder of the Institute of Politics David Axelrod, AB’76; U.S. Senator Andy Kim, AB’04; award-winning journalist and podcast host Rebecca Jarvis, AB’03; New York Times columnist David Brooks, AB’83; and distinguished cancer researcher Otis W. Brawley, SB’81; among others.

Class Day 2026 will be held on Friday, June 5.
