University community welcomes new grads

With messages of support, encouragement and celebration, we welcomed the class of 2017 to the Alumni Association on June 8 and 9. Close to 2,200 new graduates walked across the stage to receive their degrees, bringing our alumni community up to more than 16,000 strong.

Here are just a few of the images and messages shared via #UOITGrad17:

For some of you, convocation may feel like a distant memory, for others it was as recent as this past fall. Help support these new graduates as they take the first steps on their career path.

Consider attending an Alumni Association Reception or joining the Student-Alumni Mentorship Program (STAMP) as a mentor. Both of these opportunities can help you engage with these graduates and help them succeed.
