Today we learned that our UofT Spring 2020 graduation ceremonies will be cancelled and not postponed. Notably, we "June 2020 graduates cannot attend a future ceremony".

We understand that the COVID-19 situation is unprecedented and that it is very difficult to make these decisions. However, convocation is important to both us students and our families. We have anticipated this moment to share our achievements together as a class, and our family members have waited for this day as well.

It's a place where we've hoped to reach throughout all our years of study. It's a time that we look forward to every moment we walked past Front Campus. For those of us in other campuses as well.

We are asking you to please reconsider the cancellation and give the Spring 2020 graduates the convocation that we all worked so hard towards. In either November 2020, June 2021, or any suitable time in the future, as we have worked so hard for this special day.
