Many congratulations on your achievement! Your graduation today

from The University of British Columbia signals an important milestone

in your personal lives and the lives of those who have supported you

in your educational efforts. In achieving this significant goal, you have

demonstrated the commitment, creativity, and talent you will need to

succeed in your chosen career. The entire UBC community applauds

you on your accomplishments and celebrates with you the importance

of this momentous occasion.

You are the leaders of tomorrow — you will chart the course for the

next generation of writers, artists, business and health professionals,

engineers, lawyers, humanists, scientists and teachers. Wherever you

choose to make your contribution, you will shape society’s actions and

exert a powerful influence on the coming generations. As you prepare

to assume these roles, I hope you will remember the critical role that

The University of British Columbia has played in your preparation…that

you will remember how much you have learned at your alma mater. You

will use that knowledge to find solutions to some of our most pressing

problems. And by so doing, you will ensure that the values we cherish

as Canadians are preserved and advanced.

Higher education today is as much about collaboration as it is about

individual learning, and over the course of your studies here you will

have discovered the value of working collaboratively, of being part

of a “team.” Whether in sports or in a profession, teamwork directs

individual abilities towards meeting objectives successfully by pooling

everyone’s knowledge and skills. This principle will be key to your

success in your chosen career; as you move from the classroom into

the workplace, you will take with you an understanding of the power of

teamwork to overcome all obstacles and achieve any goal.

If this seems an overly optimistic prospect, think about how far you

have already come, how much you have grown, and what you are part

of. As students, and now as graduates, you are valued members of our

vibrant UBC community. I invite you to maintain your relationship with

the university to which you have already dedicated so much time, hard

work, and energy. With 260,000 graduates spread over 120 countries,

the Alumni Association is an invaluable resource for you as you embark

on your career. I urge you to take advantage of and contribute to this

extraordinary community of alumni who began their professional lives

at UBC, and who form a network that stretches around the world and

crosses all disciplines.

Graduation day is an opportunity for you to reflect on the past and look

ahead to the future. This event may well signal a significant change

of direction in your life. Whatever direction you choose to take, the

knowledge and skills that you have developed here will stand you in

good stead, not only in your professional life but also as a contributing

member of society. Wherever you may find yourself in the years to

come, I hope you will remember your time at UBC with pleasure, and

that you will be proud of your association with one of the world’s great

universities.

Finally, I wish to extend warmest congratulations to the 76 Japanese

Canadian honourary degree recipients who suffered through blind

injustice in the dark days of World War Two. We take inordinate

pleasure and pride in celebrating your contributions as citizens of

Canada and in officially welcoming you as alumni. It is my sincere hope

that your long overdue graduation day is a particularly joyous occasion

for you and your families and that, like all alumni, you will cherish the

knowledge that UBC is, and will forever be, your university.

Tuum est!

Sarah Morgan-Silvester

Message from the Chancellor

Convocation 2012 | 3

In the aftermath of the bombing of Pearl Harbour, 22,000 Japanese-

Canadians were forcibly removed from their homes and communities

and interned in prison camps for the duration of World War II. Seventy-

six of them were UBC students. Their studies were cut short and their

graduation day taken from them by a University that bowed to racism

and fear, and failed to live up to its own vision.

The internment irrevocably altered the course of these students’ lives,

and because of family or financial circumstances, few of them were able

to complete their studies, even after the end of the war. Seventy years

later, these students and their family members stand side by side with

the Class of 2012. On May 30, they receive their UBC degrees.

I consider it an honour to share the stage with each graduating student.

Although I do it thousands of times each year, each time is unique.

That moment is my opportunity to acknowledge the critical tools and

professional skills the student has acquired at UBC, the ability he or

she has developed to communicate ideas and understanding of other

communities and cultures, and the capacity he or she has built for

leadership, for change, and for seeking solutions to the worst of the

world’s problems.

This year, I will also be acknowledging 76 students’ courage in the face

of enormous hardship and loss; their willingness to give of their innate

intelligence and wisdom to a community and a country that denied

them a formal university education; and the triumph of their essential

decency over injustice—their leadership, in other words—their capacity

to effect change, and their gracious responses to one of the world’s

worst problems. Those qualities were exemplified in the exhortation

of one Japanese-Canadian woman to her children after their UBC

education was cut short and their beloved father was taken away:

Shoganai,1 she said. Proceed.

One of Western culture’s most cherished ideas is that it's never too

late. “It's never too late to be what you might have been,” said George

Eliot. “It is never too late to give up our prejudices,” said Henry David

Thoreau. “The time for action is now,” said Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:

“It's never too late.” I hold firm to the hopefulness of this idea, even as

I recognize that for some things, the time has passed. UBC’s current

leadership cannot right all the wrongs committed in the past, but it is

not too late to redress them. In addition to the awarding of degrees,

UBC’s Faculty of Arts will establish an Asian-Canadian Studies Program,

and UBC Library will create an archive of materials relating to this

period in the University’s history.

And so to the Class of 2012, I say it’s never too late to learn. Learn this

history, and learn from your alma mater’s mistakes. To the 76, I say it’s

never too late to belong. UBC is honoured by your willingness to rejoin

the University community, and is proud to call you alumni.

To all of you, it is my pleasure to say at last, congratulations.

Proceed.

Stephen J. Toope

President and Vice-Chancellor

Message from the Pres ident

1 Shoganai translates as “it can’t be helped.” It is a common Japanese phrase used to express the need for acceptance in the face of insurmountable difficulties.

This detail is taken from the documentary A Degree of Justice.

Elders, Chiefs, Board of Governors, dignitaries, Okanagan faculty,

staff, family, friends, visitors, students and graduates, on behalf of the

Okanagan Nation Chiefs and our member communities we welcome

you to our beautiful territory and to UBC’s Okanagan Campus Spring

Convocation 2012. We are pleased to be provided this opportunity

to extend our congratulations to all the new Okanagan graduates of

UBC. We are honoured to be part of your Convocation. Ceremony

and recognition of achievement, and the meaning inherent in special

events like this one, have always been an integral part of syilx culture,

beliefs and customs. Learning has always been fundamental to the

well-being and survival of our communities, Okanagan people valued

life-long learning. Education and academic excellence are also a part

of syilx culture. The honoring of one’s intellect and knowledge has

always been important. The syilx traditions and ceremonies awarded

achievement no matter how big or small. Announcements were

made to the Nation that “this is a day of significance to this person,

(family and/or community) and you are all welcome to share in this

celebration”. The Okanagan shared their land, their teaching, and

their culture with others and now as graduates, you too will have

this opportunity to share your education with the community. Your

educational attainment will serve you well, especially if you use it to

serve your communities! The Okanagan Nation Alliance and UBC

have forged a new path of partnership and inclusion so that we can all

learn to embrace, strengthen and celebrate our diversity. The pursuit

of academic excellence will continue to advance and transform our

societies. Okanagan participation in today’s convocation ceremony and

within this University bodes well for our future and our communities.

Academic Regalia

The wearing of academic costume is a tradition that has

persisted from the Middle Ages, when the first Universities

were founded. The regalia vary slightly from one University

to another, and within a University, according to the status

of the wearer. At the University of British Columbia, the

undergraduate’s and Master’s gown are black.

The colours for the degrees being granted in 2012 at UBC’s

Okanagan campus are as follows:

B.A. – University Blue

B.A.H.S. – University Blue with a scarlet cord

B.Ed. – White with University blue cord

B.F.A. – University blue with magenta cord

B.H.K. – Malachite green

B.Mgt. – Light grey with a black and gold cord

B.S.N. – Scarlet with University blue and white twisted cord

B.S.W. – Magenta

B.Sc. – Light blue

M.A. – Fully lined University blue

M.A.Sc. - Fully lined scarlet

M.Ed. – Fully lined white with University blue cord

M.F.A. – Fully lined University blue with magenta cord

M.S.N. - Fully lined scarlet with blue and white cord

M.S.W. – Fully lined magenta

M.Sc. – Fully lined light blue

Ph.D. - Gown- Maroon with front panel & sleeves of University blue

with gold piping; Hood- Blue silk outside with gold lining; Hat- Decanel

bonnet of maroon silk with gold cord and tassel

The Bachelor’s hood is edged with the distinctive colour. The Master’s

hood is the same as the Bachelor’s, except that it is lined with the

distinctive colour.

The regalia of the Ph.D. consists of a gown, Cambridge style, of maroon

silk with front facing-panel and sleeves of University blue with gold

piping; a hood, Cambridge pattern, of blue silk outside and gold lining; a

cap, decanal bonnet, of maroon silk with gold cord and tassel.

The hood for the honorary degree LL.D. is of scarlet broadcloth

lined in dark blue velvet; for the D.Sc., it is lined in dark purple

and for the D.Litt., it is lined in cream.

www.graduation.ubc.ca.

Congregation or Convocation?

People often ask why UBC calls its graduation ceremonies

“Congregation.” There are no records to say why this term was

originally adopted but it has been used by UBC since its first graduation

ceremonies in 1916 and is believed to originate from its use in English

institutions such as Oxford and Cambridge. According to Wikipedia,

“a congregation is an assembly of people for a given purpose; with

respect to a university, it is a formal meeting of senior members of the

University. Examples include the Regent House in the University of

Cambridge and the House of Congregation and the Ancient House of

Congregation in the University of Oxford. Stemming from this tradition,

in some universities a graduation ceremony is known as a congregation,

even if the ceremony is not a meeting of the university’s governing body

in the traditional sense.”

For whatever reason, UBC adopted this term for its graduation

ceremonies in 1916 and has used it ever since when inviting faculty,

students and guests to the Annual and more recently the Spring and Fall

graduation ceremonies. UBC is unique amongst Canadian institutions in

that it appears to be the only institution that still uses this term.

The term ‘Convocation’ at UBC is more often used to describe a group

of people – defined by the University Act – including the Chancellor,

President, members of the Senate, all faculty members and all graduates

of the University. The Convocation, through the Chancellor who serves

as its chair, confers degrees, including honorary degrees, and awards

diplomas and certificates of proficiency.

In Fall 2007, UBC Vancouver Senate reconfirmed its preference to

maintain the tradition of using the term ‘Congregation’ for its graduation

ceremonies. In Spring 2008, the UBC Okanagan Senate passed a

motion that “Convocation be adopted as the name for meetings of the

UBC convocation held at UBC Okanagan for the purposes of conferring

degrees, effective June 2008.”

Did you know…?

• UBC’s first Congregation ceremony took place on May 4, 1916 in the

Hotel Vancouver ballroom. There were 41 graduates.

• UBC’s first graduate degrees were conferred in 1919.

• The first Congregation ceremony on the Point Grey campus was held

in 1927.

• The first graduation ceremony was held at UBC ‘s Okanagan campus

on June 9, 2006.

• The first graduate degrees were conferred at UBC’s Okanagan campus

on June 6, 2008.

The Univers ity Mace

The University Mace is a symbol of the authority of the UBC Chancellor.

It is displayed on ceremonial occasions, most notably during the

Convocation ceremonies but also during the Installation of a President

or Chancellor.

The Mace is carried by the ‘Macebearer’ who leads the Platform Party,

which includes the Chancellor, the President and other dignitaries, onto

the stage for the Convocation ceremonies.

Created by First Nations artist Sheldon Louis of the Okanagan Indian

Band, the University Mace is carved from a single piece of alder wood,

and combines Okanagan Nation traditions with university customs.

The main art work on the Mace features three symbolic spirit icons—a

mother bear with her two cubs, the image of the mountains, and water

— given to UBC Okanagan in 2005 by the Okanagan Nation elders. The

spirit icon gifts were selected by a group of First Nation elders, led by

Andrew McGinnis, an Okanagan Traditional Medicine Keeper from the

Penticton Indian Band, and Victor Antoine, an elder of the Okanagan

Indian Band. Each spirit icon was chosen carefully for its special

significance to the region, reflecting local Okanagan Nation tradition,

culture and knowledge.

The Mace also features a number of university symbols, including the

UBC Okanagan logo, the University coat of arms and the UBC motto

Tuum Est – It’s Yours. In addition, the back of the Mace displays the

word Suknaqinx, which is of the Nsyilxcen language, spoken by the

Okanagan’s original people. Roughly translated, it means “the ones who

stand on the hill and are seen and heard from far away.”

The University Mace, which was carved in the shape of a paddle,

representing the importance of Okanagan Lake to the region’s people, is

also inlayed with silver, applied by First Nations silversmith artist Justin

Terbasket of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band. The Mace was used

for the first time at the 2009 Convocation Ceremonies.

The Chancellor’s Okanagan Chair

In 2007, UBC’s Okanagan campus commissioned the creation of a

new Chancellor’s chair for use in Okanagan Convocation ceremonies.

Handcrafted by master furniture maker Dennis Weidman of Lake

Country, B.C., the chair was fashioned from cherry wood, a species

selected for its significance in the Okanagan’s long history as a fruit–

growing region.

The chair’s front panel features UBC’s motto, Tuum Est, the UBC logo

laser engraved in the headrest panel, and UBC’s coat of arms on each

side panel.

O Canada

O Canada! Our home and native land,

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The true north strong and free!

From far and wide, O Canada,

We stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Okanagan Song

The Okanagan Song is based on a traditional song style called

sk elmxquin. Sk elmxqin songs belong to the Okanagan/Syilx people

collectively. Songs of this style can be sung by any Okanagan/

Syilx person using their own phrasing and their own emotion while

maintaining the formal rhythm and structure. This song has been called

the “Okanagan Song” or the “Okanagan Nation Anthem” because the

phrasing and meaning were constructed to celebrate pride in being

Okanagan.

The Okanagan Song

The Okanagan Song is based on a traditional song style called skəlmxquin. Skəlmxqin songs belong to the Okanagan/Syilx people collectively. Songs of this style can be sung by any Okanagan/Syilx person using their own phrasing and their own emotion while maintaining the formal rhythm and structure. This song has been called the “Okanagan Song” or the “Okanagan Nation Anthem” because the phrasing and meaning was constructed to celebrate pride in being Okanagan.

1908• Provincial legislature passes a new “University Act”

establishing The University of British Columbia. It

provides for a Chancellor, a Convocation, a President,

and a Board of Governors to manage the university’s

administration, property and business affairs, and a

Senate to administer academic matters.

1910• After a province-wide survey, Point Grey is selected as

and banners march through the streets of downtown

Vancouver to the Point Grey campus. This pilgrimage

became known as the “Great Trek,” as it successfully

convinced the Government of B.C. to resume work on

the Point Grey site. The “Great Trek” represents one of

the greatest efforts of an undergraduate student body

in support of its university and still reflects the spirit

and pride of UBC students.

1925• UBC moves to Point Grey campus.

1940• Students contribute to the construction of Brock Hall,

the university’s first student union building.

campaign to pay for new buildings, facilities,

programmes, and scholarships. By the time it ends in

Yeltsin meet at UBC during the “Vancouver Summit.”

• Dr. Michael Smith receives the Nobel Prize.

UBC. . . forever

Welcome Class of 2012, to your new and honoured place in the UBC

community. Today we celebrate all you have worked for and achieved in

your time as a student; and the promise of your future as an alum.

Many students don’t realize that when you graduate from UBC, you

automatically become an alumna(f) or alumnus(m). You cross the stage

at convocation, the Chancellor admits you into UBC’s alumni body, and

your relationship with the University enters a whole new phase. Now

you begin to see the true value and potential of your time here.

You might be surprised at just who your fellow alumni are, their levels

of accomplishment, influence and contribution. No matter where you

go, you will find yourself in the company of amazing people – educators,

artists, doctors, nurses, business and community leaders – UBC grads

who will be your role models, mentors, colleagues and friends.

We’ll help you connect through our newsletters, web pages and social

networks. You will receive a warm welcome at mentoring, cultural,

educational and career-building events, whether you stay here in the

Okanagan or go anywhere else in the world. You can get involved

in alumni networks as far away as London and Seoul or as close as

Kelowna, Vancouver and Calgary.

UBC acknowledges your important place in our community. Worldwide,

there are well over a quarter million graduates. That’s a powerful

network that you can work within to build your life and make a difference

in the world. Brought together, we represent a significant and positive

force. Remember our motto Tuum Est – UBC is still yours. It will always

be yours. This place is as much about you as it is about buildings and

classes.

So reach out. Stay in touch. Ask for help when you need it. Lend a hand

when you can. Work together and everything is possible.

Just remember that to keep you in the loop, we’ll need at least a current

email address and, even better, the city where you live. Please send yours to

[email protected] or visit web.ubc.ca/okanagan/alumnirelations for more

information.

start an evolutionStart an evolution

UBC generates ideas that start evolutions. Ideas that change the

way people think and the way the world works. The University’s

influence is spreading across the Okanagan region, attracting

new talent, enriching cultural life and helping transform the

region’s economy. Our student population has more than

doubled to over 7,900 students and, as our student population

grows, our campus must expand to support their learning.

Our start an evolution campaign places UBC in a strong position

to improve our capacity—and that of our donors—to create

change in the world and in our community. Our campus goal is

to raise $100 million for key priority areas like student support,

innovative research and community engagement.

From creating student awards to improving regional health

care—imagine what we can do together. Combine your energy

with ours. Together we will discover new ideas to illuminate our

way forward, creating positive change in the world.

Honorary Degree Recip ient

SENATOR ROSS FITzPATRICK

Doctor of Laws, honoris causa

D. Ross Fitzpatrick, a retired member of the Canadian Senate, was born

to a pioneering Okanagan agricultural family, a tradition that carries

on today with a variety of business interests. Upon graduating from
