Alumni stories

As OCAD University approaches its 150th anniversary celebration launching in fall of 2026, we’re inviting you, our alumni community, to help us tell our story.

We’d love to hear about the moments that shaped your time here. A favourite class or instructor, your first exhibition, or a connection that changed your path. No story is too big or too small.  

Selected submissions may be featured as part of our 150th anniversary initiatives, celebrating the many voices, experiences, and perspectives that have defined OCAD U over the past century and a half.
