june 9 & 10

Dear Graduand,

Your graduation began long before this day.

It began when you made the choice to study that extra hour, dedicate yourself more deeply, and strive to reach for the degree you had chosen to fully commit your life to pursuing.

Many of the people that helped you arrive here today are seated beside you—friends, family, classmates—while others are thinking of you from afar.

We are honoured to have given you a place to discover, inspire others and be challenged beyond what you thought was possible.

We hope you know, we will always be that place for you.

Yours,

UBC

THE GRADUATION JOURNEY

2 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

In UBC’s first annual, published 100 years ago in 1916, President Frank F. Wesbrook wrote: “Ours is the task of helping to adjust the rights of the individual to the needs of all, of the obligations of each to the other and to the world. Today’s chosen people are those in training for such tasks. A glorious heritage is ours.”

Wesbrook’s aspiration for UBC students is surprisingly still relevant. Our learning environment encourages global citizenship and it is our hope that the graduands of today, having made UBC ‘theirs,’ go on to use their education to change the world for the better.

UBC graduands have, with the support of classmates, family and friends, collectively built our shared heritage since 1916. We hope you know how proud we are of your contribution to what we’ve become, and who we will be, for the next 100 years.

“As we move into our second century, please stay in touch. Whichever path you choose to follow, you will always be welcome at UBC, and we hope that you will continue to play a part in the life of this great university. Tuum est! It is yours!”MARTHA C . PIPER , OC OBC LLD’07

THE GRADUATION JOURNEY

4 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

1916One of the first graduating classes was the Arts Class of 1916 pictured here at a party at the home of Mary Wilons. In UBC’s first year, there were only three faculties: Arts, Applied Science and Agriculture with 379 registered students and 34 faculty members.

1920sThe student-led Great Trek to UBC’s Point Grey established the university’s first campus. The Alma Mater Society (AMS) incorporated as a non-profit society and the university began awarding its first graduate degrees to students. In the Ubyssey, published in September 23, 1925, students described the new campus with a sense of wonder: “We are dazed with the appearance of architectural cleanliness and bewildered by our lineal freedom.”

1940sThe forties were an era of tremendous change at the university as both students and faculty embraced the war effort. In 1943, new President Norman MacKenzie began in earnest to expand the university and new departments were formed along with new buildings to house them including Brock Hall and the first student union building. By the 1950s, UBC had established itself as a comprehensive university and top choice for students in BC and beyond.

5 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

1960sStudent numbers continued to escalate alongside the scholarly activities that began to define UBC as a leader in research. The campus was alive with sixties counterculture and a sixth president of UBC was elected by the name of Dr. Walter Gage. New student residences were created to respond to the expanding student body as well as a new student union building. Students gained influence at the university and were elected to the University Board of Governors for the first time.

1980sWith over 34,000 students registered at the beginning of the eighties, UBC began attracting scholars from all over the world. Engineering students were in the news frequently for their pranks, which included the famous Ladner Clock Tower stunt in which students pulled off hoisting a white Volkswagen Bug onto the top of the tower. Dr. Martha Piper was elected President in 1997 and ushered in an era of international engagement that saw UBC step onto the world stage as an educator and global centre for research excellence.

2000sThe demand for increased access to post-secondary education led to the official opening of UBC’s Okanagan campus in 2005. Student learning opportunities multiplied as UBC expanded to include two major campuses—the Vancouver Campus and the Okanagan Campus.

2016Close to 13,000 students will become the Class of 2016. They will go on to join over 310,000 alumni who have successfully graduated from UBC and continue their journey as treasured members of the UBC community.

GRADUATION TRADITIONS

7 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

THE UNIVERSITY MACE

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 artwork 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 inlaid 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 PROCESSION

Chancellor Lindsay Gordon shakes the hand of every student that crosses the stage—that’s over 10,000 students each year. This handshake signifies the transition between student and graduate.

REGALIA COLOURS

The hoods, gowns and hats worn by graduates are lined with colours to indicate the degree to be conferred, a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages when the first universities were founded.

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, BC, 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.

The University Mace is a symbol of the authority of the Chancellor. It is displayed on ceremonial occasions, most notably during the convocation ceremonies but also during the Installation of a President or Chancellor.

CHANCELLOR’S WELCOME

8 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

Exactly 100 years ago UBC held its first Congregation ceremony, at which it granted degrees to the first 40 graduates.

They graduated during a turbulent time in human history with a terrible war raging, but our challenges are no less significant: climate change, human rights, a mounting refugee crisis, inequality, poverty, food security…and yes…conflict, but a very different kind of conflict to that experienced by our first graduation class.

You therefore may share similar hopes and fears of members of the Class of 1916. Like them, you too are probably preoccupied with the future.

Had I been Chancellor back in 1916 my message to those 40 graduates would be the same that I offer to the graduates of today: irrespective of what pursuits you undertake, ensure they are activities in which you can maintain a passionate interest. At the same time, however, remain sharply aware of the inevitable and perpetual changes in the world around you, and in yourselves.

That does not mean that circumstances have not changed in the past century. The spectrum of knowledge and influencers of change—social, cultural, economic and technological—are as complex as ever, meaning that you will

invariably encounter new circumstances, and you may well be tempted to pursue an entirely new direction and destiny tomorrow than those you may be contemplating today. The message is simply this: remain curious, open-minded and flexible as the journey unfolds.

At the same time, ensure that you play your part in helping to build a diverse, inclusive and better community. Understand the obligations that we make to one another in a civilized society, and not only to our neighbours at home but to strangers from afar. Above all, seek truth and compassion over bitter opinion and misplaced fear.

One final thought—graduation should never mean goodbye. As UBC alumni, I sincerely hope you will remain connected in some way to your university. Please take advantage of the many opportunities to be active and engaged members of our alumni community, which has grown from those 40 inaugural graduates of 1916, to over 310,000 today.

On behalf of all of them, I extend my very best wishes and warmest congratulations.

— lindsay gordon, ba ’73, mba ’76

Here it is at last—your graduation day, and with the added distinction of it occurring at a historic milestone for your university.

9 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

You are members of a very special class: you are graduating exactly 100 years after UBC’s first degree ceremony, held downtown at the Hotel Vancouver and presided over by UBC’s first President, Dr. Frank Wesbrook.

The first graduating class of 1915-16 comprised only 40 people. Canada was at war, and many UBC students were away serving their country. The UBC campus in Fairview was little more than a collection of temporary buildings—the “Fairview shacks,” as they were called. Many classes were given in church basements and professors’ homes. Hardly an auspicious beginning for a university that President Wesbrook hoped would turn into “the Cambridge of the Pacific.”

I wonder what he would think about the changes that have occurred over the past century. He could not possibly have foreseen that his university would grow from a student body of less than 400 to one that now exceeds 60,000; that the number of living alumni would be 310,000 and counting; that UBC would produce some of Canada’s top scientists and scholars, writers and artists, public servants—including three prime ministers of Canada—and leaders in every profession.

What President Wesbrook did recognize, however, was that with the birth of his tiny university in a remote province on Canada’s distant west coast, something significant had taken place: something with enormous promise. In the student yearbook for 1916, he wrote: “To us has come the opportunity of making our Province, our Dominion, our Empire, and our world, a better place in which to live.”

The world has changed in many ways since Dr. Wesbrook penned those words. Canada is no longer a dominion, nor part of an empire. But his vision of UBC’s role, his belief in its potential greatness and the importance of its future contributions—those have been amply justified. UBC is indeed a great university, in size, in achievement, in the significant role it has played and continues to play on the national and the international scene as a major centre of learning and research.

As graduates of UBC, you have benefited from guidance and instruction by some of the best scholars and teachers in this country, and enjoyed the kind of social, academic, and sporting opportunities that only a great university can provide. At every level of your UBC education, you have been exposed to the rigours of critical thinking, to the complexities of problem-solving, and to the need for risk-taking and imagination in the creation of new ideas. Your studies have provided you with strong communication skills in a variety of media, and taught you the value of teamwork and collaboration.

Now it is time to turn your hard-earned expertise and knowledge to good use, to become involved with your society, and to offer your ideas with the confidence that you will be heard and respected. People will look to you for solutions to the social, economic, and environmental problems that afflict us. Like the generations of UBC graduates who came before you, you will provide the leadership and vision that every society needs to prosper.

As we move into our second century, please stay in touch. Whichever path you choose to follow, you will always be welcome at UBC, and we hope that you will continue to play a part in the life of this great university through membership in alumni UBC. Tuum est! It is yours!

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

11 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

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 Okanagan's Spring Convocation 2016. The Syilx people are also proud to join in the recognition and celebration of UBC Okanagan’s tenth anniversary and the UBC Centennial. UBC Okanagan opened this campus in 2005 with the official Knaqs npi’lsmist ceremony. UBC acknowledged Syilx territory, Peoples, customs and contributions to the Okanagan region. Today, it is with honour that we, in turn, recognize this milestone in the life of the University.

We are pleased 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, customs and community life. Learning is valued in our communities. It is fundamental to the well-being and survival of all people.

The honouring of one’s intellect and acquiring of knowledge are integral to Syilx culture. The Syilx traditions and ceremonies acknowledged and awarded achievement no matter how big or small. Announcements were made in 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 have always shared their land, their teaching, and their culture with others. It is our responsibility and duty to use these gifts and serve our community. Now as graduates, you too will have this opportunity to share your education with the community. Your educational achievement will serve you and your community well. We encourage you to serve your community!

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 the life of this University bodes well for our future and our communities.

We are beautiful / Because we are Okanagan / Because our land is beautiful.

OKANAGAN SONG

The Okanagan Song is based on a traditional song style calledskəlmxquin. 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 were constructed to celebrate pride in being Okanagan.

Translation of suknaquinx skəlmxquinxNote: the word aɬi translates three separate ways in this song.

Aɬi kʷu swi wi numtax(given that we are good-looking/vibrant/ strong)

Aɬi kʷu suknaqinx(due to being Okanagan)

Aɬi axaʔ iʔ tmxʷulaʔxʷ(because of this land)

Literation/meaningWe are beautifulBecause we are OkanaganBecause our land is beautiful

16 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

ROBERTA LYNN BONDAR, O.C.,

F.R.C.P.C., F.R.S.C.

Doctor of Science, honoris causaAs an astronaut aboard NASA’s Space Shuttle Discovery in 1992, Dr. Roberta Lynn Bondar orbited Earth 129 times in eight days and travelled more than 4.7 million kilometers. During that mission, she conducted over 40 investigations from 13 countries, including Space Physiology Experiments from UBC, and made history as the first Canadian female astronaut and the world’s first neurologist in space.

Dr. Bondar has inspired generations of future scientists, doctors, teachers and people who dare to dream, train and achieve great things. She is a creative thinker, physician and scientist, photographer and author, environmental interpreter, an educator and pioneering astronaut, and a truly “passionate Earthling.”

A Canadian board-certified neurologist with a subspecialty in neuro-ophthalmology, Dr. Bondar has made ground-breaking discoveries in space

medicine. For more than a decade she headed an international research team studying the effects on astronauts of spaceflight and re-adaptation back to Earth’s gravity.

One of the most academically distinguished astronauts to have flown in space, Dr. Bondar is also an acclaimed photographer of the environment whose in-flight role as part of NASA’s Earth Observation Team included photographing planet Earth.

She is the author of three best-selling photo essay books featuring her photography of the surface of Earth, and her photographic works are in private, corporate and institutional collections in Canada, the United States and England. She co-founded The Roberta Bondar Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization, to reconnect us to the natural environment.

Dr. Bondar was born in Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario, and studied zoology and agriculture at the University of Guelph. She completed a Master of Science in

experimental pathology at the University of Western Ontario before earning a Ph.D. in neurobiology from the University of Toronto, and an M.D. from McMaster University.

An Officer of the Order of Canada and holder of the NASA Space Medal, Dr. Bondar was inducted into the International Women’s Forum Hall of Fame and Canadian Medical Hall of Fame for her research. She is also a fellow of both the Royal Society of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENTS

DAVID SCHINDLER, O.C., F.R.S.C., F.R.S.

Doctor of Science, honoris causaDr. David William Schindler is a scientist known internationally as a leader in protecting freshwater resources here in Canada and around the world.

His research on the environmental effects of pollutants and climate change have shaped freshwater management policies, including the regulation of nutrients and addressing acid rain in North America and Europe.

Dr. Schindler earned a degree in zoology from North Dakota State University in 1962 then studied aquatic ecology at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. Working under Charles Sutherland Elton—one of the founders of ecology and founder of Oxford University’s Bureau of Animal Population—Dr. Schindler began formulating an interdisciplinary ecosystem approach to limnology and ecology.

After earning his doctorate he took a position as Assistant Professor at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario. In 1968, he was made founding project leader of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada’s Experimental Lakes Project and began innovative large-scale experiments that would reveal serious changes taking place in Canada’s lakes.

Dr. Schindler has received numerous prestigious international awards including the first Stockholm Water Prize, the Volvo International Environmental Prize, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, and the G.E. Hutchinson Medal of the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography.

He has also received several national awards, including Canada’s highest honour for Science and Engineering, the Gerhard Herzberg Gold Medal of Science and Engineering, the Manning Award of

Distinction for Innovation in Science and the Killam Prize from the Canada Council for the Arts.

He is an Officer of the Order of Canada, a Fellow of the Royal Societies of Canada and London, a foreign fellow of the Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, and a member of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences.

17 CENTENNIAL CONVOCATION 2016

AWARDS FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION

Dr. Zachary WalshAssociate Professor, Irving K. Barber School of Arts and SciencesDr. Zachary Walsh receives outstanding evaluations from peers and students, and is known as an innovator in teaching and learning who promotes student-centred experiential learning opportunities both in coursework and in his role as a mentor.

He is one of the primary mentors and supervisors for clinical psychology graduate students, and supervises a variety of practica placements in the community.

The connections he has established—through what one colleague described as “frankly, tireless effort”—have created opportunities for students to gain real-world experience with many organizations and programs including: School District 23, the RCMP, the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Bridge Family Centre, Elizabeth Fry Society, the Kelowna Community Justice Project, the Prostitution Offender Project, and the John Howard Restorative Justice Program.

A researcher with extensive experience in a variety of fields, Dr. Walsh is a mentor in the Canadian Institutes for Health Research IMPART fellowship for interdisciplinary addictions research training, and created the increasingly popular third-year Drugs and Behaviour course.

A respected teacher, an inspiring mentor, a connecting force and an innovator in his field, Dr. Walsh consistently demonstrates the strengths recognized by this award.

Dr. Mary Ann MurphyAssociate Professor of Sociology in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences and Social Work in the Faculty of Health and Social DevelopmentDr. Mary Ann Murphy is an innovator of curriculum and community engagement focused on the mutual benefits of community partners and students. Indeed, she is a pioneer for this campus, developing one of the first UBC Okanagan community service learning projects in 2006—and in the decade since then, she has gone on to supervise another 35 projects.

She created and taught the first aging specialization in a Canadian school of social work. Her teaching emphasizes critical thinking and inquiry-based learning. From this, a novel social change curriculum has emerged in sociology, which places an emphasis on human rights, global aging and global citizenship.

Students praise her dedication, organization and commitment to creating inter-generational classroom experiences in which 17-year-olds and people in their 80s learn together and from one another.

She now teaches Sociology 480 – Aging, Diversity and Inequality, with an approach that embraces UBC’s commitment to fostering global awareness for students, faculty and our local and wider communities.

Dr. Muphy’s deep commitment to students young and old—and her commitment to multiple communities in and outside the university—are recognized through this award.

The Teaching Excellence and Innovation Awards recognize outstanding faculty members for their achievements in innovation, engagement and dedication to teaching excellence.

The successful award winners are exemplary role models who have had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on the culture of teaching and learning on the Okanagan campus and beyond.
