On Monday, Nov. 25, some 1,800 students walked across the stage of Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier in Place Des Arts to collect their respective diplomas – marking the highlight of the Fall Convocation ceremonies. “Today marks the beginning of something, not the end. You have a mind that is ready to learn, and there is much more learning to be done,” Principal Suzanne Fortier told the Class of 2013. “Certains de ces apprentissages se feront dans un établissement universitaire, peut-être même ici, à McGill, mais la plupart d’entre eux se feront tout au long de votre existence, où que vous soyez.”

But Convocation is as much about the sights as it is the sounds. Click on the thumbnails below to see a larger version of each of the following pictures.
