Medical Radiation Sciences Pre-Convocation Ceremony 2025
This spring, the Class of 2025 graduated from the Medical Radiation Sciences (MRS) joint program offered through the University of Toronto’s Department of Radiation Oncology (UTDRO) and the Michener Institute of Education at UHN.
To celebrate this milestone, UTDRO hosted a pre-convocation reception and awards ceremony on June 5 at Hart House. The event brought together students, faculty, and staff for a meaningful gathering ahead of the official convocation, which took place later that afternoon at the Council Chambers in Simcoe Hall, 27 King’s College Circle.
As part of the celebration, several students were recognized for their outstanding academic performance, research achievements, and volunteer contributions.
