As spring begins to bloom in southern Ontario, thousands of students from across the University of Toronto's three campuses are preparing to close their laptops, don gowns and hoods - and walk across the stage in Convocation Hall.
This year, there will be a total of 34 ceremonies , beginning with U of T Scarborough on June 3 and wrapping up with Rotman Commerce on June 20.
At each one, graduating students will play a starring role in a rich tradition that involves the chancellor's procession led by the Eagle Feather Bearer and a bedel carrying U of T's ceremonial mace, inspirational convocation speakers and carillon bells ringing out from atop Soldiers' Tower.
There will also be plenty of opportunities to celebrate this milestone moment with family and friends.
