Thousands of students from the University of Toronto’s three campuses celebrated their academic journeys during fall convocation this week.  

Family and friends watched as graduates decked out in gowns and hoods crossed the stage inside Convocation Hall, marking the beginning of a new chapter after years of dedication and hard work.  

Here are a few highlights captured by the photographers who covered the ceremonies:
