Under falling leaves and (mostly) sunny skies, thousands of University of Toronto students crossed the stage inside Convocation Hall to accept their degrees during this year’s fall convocation.

About 3,800 graduating students from U of T’s three campuses attended the ceremonies held from Nov. 7 to Nov. 10, along with family and friends. 

Check out some of the highlights captured by photographers at the university:

There were also plenty of hugs – including one from this friendly visitor.
