Celebrating our graduates! 

In the midst of a pandemic, U of T's Virtual Convocation 2020 was a new experience for graduating students and their families. Selfies on campus were replaced with selfies in quarantine. Friends and family members cheered their students in online messages and calls, and the Faculty of Arts & Science joined in the festivities to celebrate the remarkable and resilient Class of 2020.

We took a walk down memory lane on Instagram, cheered on our superstar students on Twitter.

Below, see how our community shared their heartfelt congratulations with this resilient Class of 2020, browse through the social media highlights and read about where our graduates are headed.
