Congratulations to the MRS Class of 2020!
On Tuesday, June 9, 2020, the Medical Radiation Sciences (MRS) Program at the University of Toronto celebrated the convocating class of 2020 in an MRS Convocation Reception. This celebration is in addition to the University of Toronto’s Spring Convocation 2020 Ceremony, presented virtually on Tuesday, June 2, 2020. You can watch the convocation video here
We know how hard our students have worked and this was an opportunity to celebrate their achievements. Over 80 attendees joined via Zoom across the country to celebrate with their colleagues and loved ones online as they embark on a new journey - and this is the beauty of technology, it allows us to connect no matter how near or far we reside!
Congratulations again to the 82 undergraduates (see list below) of the MRS program within the following three areas of study: Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging Technology had 12 graduates; Radiological Technology had 35 graduates; and Radiation Therapy had 35 graduates.
During the event, MRS leadership, Dr. Patricia Houston (Vice Dean, MD Program, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto), Dr. Brian Hodges (Chief Medical Officer & Executive Vice President, Education, University Health Network), and Dr. Fei-Fei Liu (Professor and Chair, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Toronto) said a few words to commemorate our undergraduates’ successes and impart some words of wisdom as they begin their careers as healthcare professionals.
Cathryne Palmer, Director of the Medical Radiation Sciences Program, congratulated the graduating class of 2020 and announced this year’s MRS award winners, including Highest Cumulative GPAs, excellence in research and clinical projects, and volunteer activities within the MRS program. See the complete list of winners below – congratulations!
We are immensely proud of our graduates, and we welcome you to the University of Toronto’s Radiation Oncology Alumni Community and wish you great success on your journey ahead!
