The 2025 Yale Record Awards Video
/Dear Friends of The Record,
The Yale Record Awards have concluded, the laurels have been bestowed, and the students have recovered (mostly). But the good news is, you can now relive the occasion in all its glory—or experience it for the first time—through two exclusive videos.
The 2025 Yale Record Awards Ceremony
A celebration of wit, ink, and the noble art of making fun of things. Featuring:
Jay Gitlin on The History of Cartooning & the Cocktail Party – A deep dive into the enduring relationship between humor and high society.
Hysterical Archivist Don Watson on Yale Record Cartooning Through the Ages – A look back at The Record’s long tradition of illustrated irreverence.
The Awards Presentation – Who won? Who made the best acceptance speech? Who will have their name misremembered by future generations?
The 24-Hour Issue Documentary
Once a year, The Record staff embarks on an ambitious and mildly reckless endeavor: producing an entire issue in just 24 hours. Watch as ideas take shape, deadlines loom, and an extraordinary edition of The Record comes to life before your eyes.
