Over the past two weeks, more than 12,000 students crossed the stage at Convocation Hall – becoming University of Toronto’s newest alumni.

Photographers were on hand for the 29 ceremonies, capturing all of the happy, heartfelt and celebratory moments.

Here’s a selection of some of the best photos from this year’s spring convocation.
