Fall 2025 RSI Graduates
By Jessica A Boafo

Congratulations on the outstanding achievements of this year’s Fall 2025 RSI graduates!

RSI proudly celebrated the achievements of its Fall 2025 graduates during a special convocation reception held on October 28 at  The University Club of Toronto. The gathering brought together graduates, faculty, supervisors, and loved ones to recognize the dedication and perseverance that defined each student’s academic journey.

The event provided an opportunity for the RSI community to reflect on the hard work and innovation that continue to shape rehabilitation research and practice at the University of Toronto. Warm congratulations, shared memories, and words of encouragement filled the room as graduates prepared to embark on the next stage of their professional and academic paths.

This year, two RSI graduates were also featured on Temerty Medicine socials, highlighting their research excellence and impact in the field. Their stories underscore the breadth of expertise emerging from RSI and the transformative potential of interdisciplinary collaboration in rehabilitation science.

As our graduates move forward, RSI extends heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for their continued success. Their achievements reflect not only personal dedication but also the supportive mentorship of their supervisors and the collaborative spirit that defines RSI.
