Message from the Chancellor______________________________________________________________

Convocation is a day of well-deserved celebration. For students, it signifies the completion of years of hard work but also the

beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives. For families, it is a day to recognize those years of dedication and to embrace

enthusiastically the pride that convocation evokes. For all of us, convocation is a time to look optimistically into the future, to share

in centuries-old academic traditions and, most importantly, to celebrate our graduates.

Twice each year, thousands of people travel from across Canada and from around the world to be part of convocation ceremonies.

Among staff and faculty members on our campuses, everyone pauses to acknowledge the success of our graduates and to reflect

upon and remember the real reason we are here: to help prepare the world’s newest leaders, life-changers and influencers for the

challenges and opportunities ahead. The accomplishments of our graduating students are a source of pride for all of us associated

with Dalhousie.

We hope our convocation ceremonies create wonderful memories for our graduating students, their families and friends. Should

you have questions or comments about these events, or suggestions for how our ceremonies can be made even more meaningful,

we welcome your ideas.

For almost 200 years, Dalhousie graduates have been making significant contributions to Canada and the world. With this

convocation, the promise of our lasting impact continues. Congratulations to all of you at this very special time in your lives.

The Honourable A. Anne McLellan, P.C., O.C., A.O.E. Chancellor, Dalhousie University

Message from the President______________________________________________________________

Honorary Degree Recipients______________________________________________________________

Michael Burns Doctor of Laws (honoris causa)

Canadian business leader Michael Burns has spent years working to help lighten the load for

soldiers and military veterans and their families. His philanthropic leadership as co-founder of

the True Patriot Love Foundation has resulted in millions of dollars raised to improve the

health and well-being of military personnel and veterans. And as CEO of the Invictus Games

Toronto 2017, Mr. Burns has provided an even bigger platform for celebrating the spirit, drive

and determination of soldiers and veterans from around the world.

Mr. Burns has more than 20 years of leadership experience in marketing, financial services,

entrepreneurship, and technology, having served as president of two investment management

companies, in vice-presidential roles at others, and as a co-founder of firms in both the wealth

management and e-commerce sectors. Most recently, Mr. Burns worked as Vice-President,

Corporate Development of AudienceView, an industry leader in intelligent ticketing and e-

commerce.

Mr. Burns took a leave of absence from AudienceView to serve as CEO of the Invictus Games Toronto 2017, the largest

international adaptive sport competition in the world for wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and veterans. His work

with the True Patriot Love Foundation has raised more than $23 million to support soldiers and veterans’ programs for mental

health, physical rehabilitation, career transition, and family services.

Mr. Burns is Chair of the Michael Garron Hospital Foundation Board (formerly the Toronto East General Hospital Board

Foundation) and also chaired the hospital’s successful $211-million capital campaign. He is a member of the Board of Directors for

Toronto venues Roy Thomson Hall and Massey Hall. Among the awards and honours Mr. Burns has received are the Queen

Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Canadian Forces Medallion for Distinguished Service.

Dr. Michael I. Posner Doctor of Laws (honoris causa)

Dr. Michael Posner’s contributions to experiential psychology and cognitive neuroscience have

had a seminal influence on generations of brain scientists, dramatically improving our

understanding of the mind and brain.

After completing his PhD in Psychology from the University of Michigan in 1962 and a brief

stint University of Wisconsin, Dr. Posner joined the Department of Psychology at the University

of Oregon in 1965. His early work revolutionized the understanding of some of our most

important cognitive capabilities—research that set the stage for an expansion of this approach

to nearly every aspect of human cognition. Later, Dr. Posner’s collaborative research

illuminated the information-processing steps people take in pursing cognitive goals and

provided a way to map these “mental operations” onto the physical brain.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Dr. Posner served as a visiting professor at several

universities and was founding director of the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology

at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in 1998, a leader in the investigation of how brain development results in growing

cognitive capabilities. Now Professor Emeritus at the University of Oregon, Dr. Posner has continued his research, exploring how

types of instruction and meditation may affect the development of self-control, attentional and other intellectual processes in

young children and adults.

Dr. Posner has has made his way to Dalhousie several times over the years for various lectures and symposia, including delivering

the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience’s annual D.O. Hebb Memorial Lecture in 2000. Dr. Posner has 10 honorary

degrees from institutions around the globe, was awarded the Medal of Science in 2009 by U.S. President Barack Obama, and

received the 2017 Franklin Medal in Computer and Cognitive Science.

Dr. Susan Sherwin Doctor of Laws (honoris causa)

Dr. Susan Sherwin, Dalhousie Professor Emerita, is one of Canada’s preeminent women

philosophers. Her groundbreaking 1992 book, No Longer Patient: Feminist Ethics and Health

Care, has been described as a “landmark event,” credited with helping define the entire field of

feminist bioethics.

Following her doctoral studies at Stanford — where she wrote the first philosophy dissertation

in the U.S. on the ethics of feminism — she arrived at Dalhousie as the Department of

Philosophy’s first ever female faculty member. Through the celebrated career that followed,

her work took weighty issues such as abortion, reproductive technology, and paternalism in

the patient-physician relationship and recast them from a feminist perspective. Her research

highlighted the impact of discrimination and was defined by a feminist commitment to

redressing all forms of oppression.

Dr. Sherwin has been a leader on campus and in the community. The first woman to serve as Chair of the Department of

Philosophy, she was instrumental in developing Dal’s Women’s Studies program (now Gender and Women’s Studies), twice serving

as its Coordinator. She was the first woman President of the Dalhousie Faculty Association and was a founding member of the

Dalhousie Women Faculty Organization. She served on the Board of Directors of Halifax Transition House, was part of the first

equity committee of the Canadian Philosophical Association, and was a founding member of the Canadian Society for Women in

Philosophy.

In 2006, Dr. Sherwin received the prestigious Killam Prize in the Humanities from the Canada Council for the Arts. She is a fellow in

the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the

Canadian Bioethics Society. In 2004 she was named a Distinguished Women Philosopher by the American Society for Women in

Philosophy, and in 2015 Dr. Sherwin was appointed to the Order of Canada.

Dalhousie Traditions

______________________________________________________________ Coat of Arms The Dalhousie University Coat of Arms, which you see

hanging at the back of the stage, is based on the heraldic

achievement (commonly called “Coat of Arms”) of the

Ramsay family of Scotland. The Rt. Hon. George Ramsay,

Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, founded the University

in 1818. Initially the Ramsay family coat of arms was used to

identify Dalhousie. But over time, it has evolved, as have

most heraldic devices through marriage or political

alliances.

The seal used by the University differs from that of the

Ramsay family version in three ways.

First, through marriage one of the supporters on the

Ramsay achievement has now changed to include a

greyhound on the right.

Secondly, the original Ramsay supporters were griffins (half

lion, half dragon). Dalhousie has dragons.

The third change occurred in 1950 when the Board of

Governors changed the colour of the shield from white

(silver) to gold, to reflect the University’s colours of black

and gold.

Since 1987 the university has used the eagle and shield as

the basis for its logo.

Mace The Dalhousie University Mace is carried into the

auditorium by the University Beadle (University Registrar),

who leads the procession. The Mace was first carried in an

academic procession in May 1950 and once placed on stage,

begins Convocation.

The Mace was designed by R. L. de C. H. Saunders, a

Professor of Anatomy, and carved by A. H. MacMillan of

Halifax. It is made of oak, enriched with silver and enamel,

and measures 1.4 metres in length.

The lower end of the mace is adorned with silver fish in

recognition of one of our most important natural resources.

Above this is a circular scene of a sea nymph calling across

the waves towards the setting sun in representation of the

impulse that led navigators to our shores. The roots put

down by early settlers and the tall trees that first met their

gaze are reflected in a pattern extending the entire length of

the shaft.

The head of the mace bears a maple leaf. Set above the leaf

is a carved circle of mayflowers, which symbolizes both the

province and the flowering of a new civilization in the

province which led to the establishment of the University.

Four robed medieval scholars facing the main compass

points represent the university faculties of 1950: Arts and

Science, Dentistry, Law and Medicine. Each figure bears a

silver enameled shield with either the arms of the University

or the Province of Nova Scotia. Alternating with these

figures are the rose, thistle, fleur-de-lys and shamrock,

depicting the home countries of the first European

immigrants to the province.

The top of the mace head bears a five-rayed Scottish earl’s

coronet in recognition of the University’s founder, the ninth

Earl of Dalhousie. This part of the mace incorporates oak

that came from the Earl’s estate and was presented to

Dalhousie University. Gracing the cap of the coronet, set

above all, is a silver Celtic cross surrounded by the

University motto “Ora et Labora” (pray and work). This cross

was chosen as befitting a non-denominational institution

with Scottish heritage.
