The tent is up on McGill’s downtown campus and the convocation ceremonies are right around the corner.
We’re taking a look back at the university’s convocations through the years with photos from our digitized collection of yearbooks, the McGill University Archives and most recently, our own camera lens.
Seeing students beaming with pride in the presence of their friends, family, fellow classmates and professors never gets old. Congrats, graduates!
