Each year, our undergraduate and graduate students chart unique paths through computer science — shaped by research, community, creativity and real-world impact. From exploring interdisciplinary questions to mentoring peers and launching new ideas, they bring curiosity and initiative to every aspect of their work.

As they complete this chapter at the University of Toronto, they reflect on the experiences that defined their time here and the directions they’re heading next.
