Kwantlen’s Story
Kwantlen Polytechnic University is an innovative, transformative and ambitious institution that serves the
needs of Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, and beyond. KPU strives at all times to inspire students to excel
in their careers, lead in their communities, and succeed in their lives. With campuses in Richmond, SurreyNewton, Surrey-Cloverdale and Langley, (and now with ties to Maple Ridge) KPU has opened the doors to
success for more than 250,000 graduates over its thirty year history.
Established in 1981 by the Province of British Columbia, our institution proudly adopted the name of
the Kwantlen First Nation, whose people are acknowledged historically as ‘tireless runners.’ The name
has proven to be prophetic as KPU tirelessly strives to expand its capacity to serve the citizens of Metro
Vancouver, the province, the nation, and the world.
KPU is a teaching university, delivering degree programs, credentials in technology and trades,
career and preparatory studies and professional education, all of which reflect and express its unique
polytechnic mandate. The University emphasizes applied degree education and is committed to broadbased undergraduate learning that prepares students for successful and rewarding careers while also
providing them with the ethical framework and critical understanding necessary for good citizenship.
KPU’s innovative style of education involves work-integrated and service learning, practical connection
to industry and small class sizes where supportive learning environments and enhanced teacher student
relationships are valued. The University’s commitment to applied research and innovation with external
partners enhances the quality of its teaching, and contributes significantly to the economic development
of the region.
As a university that allows for multiple interpretations of excellence, students define and design the
path to success that's right for them. Their key to success is a KPU experience that transforms students
into graduates who lead in their communities.

President's Outstanding Graduate Award,
Bachelor's Degree Program
Darryl Andrew Cox
Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting Program
Darryl Cox’s incredible passion for learning is one of the many reasons
he is the Fall Convocation recipient of the President’s Outstanding
Graduate Award for a student in a bachelor’s degree program.
Since beginning at KPU in the fall of 2007, Darryl has been working
towards his Bachelor in Business Administration in Accounting degree,
and his career goal of obtaining his Chartered Professional Accounting
(CPA) designation with Manning Elliott Accountants & Business Advisors
in Vancouver. During his time at KPU, Cox refined his natural problemsolving ability, and honed new skill sets he developed while
at university.
Not only did Cox excel at what he learned in the classroom, but he
took his education one step further and applied lessons to life. Wading
through complex analytical business cases taught him how to actively
search for solutions, and Cox would even spend his evenings tutoring
students free-of-charge just to gain more experience with handling
case problems.
Moving forward, Cox would like to eventually earn his Master of
Business Administration (MBA) and Chartered Financial Analyst
(CFA) designations, and apply the skills he learned at KPU to other
projects, including Android and iPhone app development.
This award encourages Kwantlen students to excel in their chosen fields of study
and to participate in university, student and community activities to the benefit of
others. Recipients have completed all their study in one program at Kwantlen; have
consistently shown outstanding ability in the field; have contributed in a significant
way to Kwantlen or community affairs; and may be recommended by faculty.

President's Outstanding Graduate Award,
Diploma Program
Jing (Amanda) Zhang
Diploma in Accounting Program
Jing Zhang began her studies at KPU taking English as a Second
Language (ESL) courses to improve her English skills. Five years later,
she is graduating with a diploma in what she describes as “the basic
language of business” – accounting – and is proud to be the recipient of
the President’s Outstanding Graduate Award in a diploma program.
Throughout her studies, Zhang has volunteered as a tax professional,
administrative assistant and store assistant for multiple organizations,
including social service agency S.U.C.C.E.S.S., the Lord’s Peace Chapel
and the BCSPCA, where her love of animals kept her volunteering for
two years.
This award means a lot to Zhang. For her, it is the fruits of all of the
effort and hard work she has put into her studies; a symbol of her refusal
to give up when the road to becoming a public accountant with her CGA
license proved more challenging than expected. A returning student in
her early 30s, Zhang credits her ability to overcome difficulties, as well
as the opportunities for growth that KPU provides, for her confidence in
her abilities, and in herself.
This award encourages Kwantlen students to excel in their chosen fields of study
and to participate in university, student and community activities to the benefit of
others. Recipients have completed all their study in one program at Kwantlen; have
consistently shown outstanding ability in the field; have contributed in a significant
way to Kwantlen or community affairs; and may be recommended by faculty.

Heraldry
The Arms of Kwantlen Polytechnic University were presented at a
ceremony on May 4, 1999 by the Right Honourable Romeo LeBlanc,
Governor General of Canada.
The centre shield features ‘The Spirit of Kwantlen’ emblem
comprising a wolf, a salmon, and a river azure as styled by
Brandon Gabriel.
At the top of the blue shield, on the left side a lion and on the right a
tiger facing each other in the rampant position (upright on one hind
leg with forelegs outstretched as if attacking). And at the bottom of
the blue shield, on the left a jaguar and on the right a Chinese dragon
also facing each other in the rampant position. All are gold.
At the top in the centre, there is an open book with silver or white
pages, bindings in gold and on top of it, a gold horizontal (in fess)
rectangle (billet) with square bites taken out of the long sides (bretessed). In modern heraldry, this item is
meant to represent a computer chip.
The crest appears above the shield, and is supported by a silver and blue twisted fabric wreath. The
upper rim is set with a simple silver crown, the upper edge decorated with four salmon, looking at each
other in pairs.
Supporting the arms is a green grassy mound, scattered with gold Douglas Fir cones. The mound is
rising from wavy horizontal bands of blue and silver. This is the traditional heraldic representation of
water - either river or ocean.
On the left is a gold female deer with blue hooves, and her bottom half is a silver fishtail with gold fins.
Around her neck is a wreath of twisted silver and blue cloth. Hanging from the wreath is a green disk with
an open book on it—the pages are silver; the cover is gold.
On the right is a gold eagle with a silver head, with blue talons and beak. Around his neck is a wreath
like the doe’s and hanging from it is a green disk with the heraldic representation of a gold computer chip.
The motto reads: Through Tireless Effort, Knowledge and Understanding.
University Mace
The mace was originally a weapon during the medieval period,
and came to be associated with the prowess and strength of the
knight. Today the mace is a symbol of the university’s authority
to award degrees and diplomas. It indicates the official nature of
Convocation as the university’s most important academic ceremony,
and is a confirmation of the university’s integrity as an academic
institution. The mace is carried by a mace-bearer, who leads the
processional of faculty and students in to and out of the venue
where Convocation is held. The mace is usually between four feet
and six feet in length and will incorporate the history and tradition that surround the vision for
the university.
An academic mace symbolizes the authority vested in the chancellor to confer university credentials.
This is why the mace is an integral part of Convocation.
Maces are often commissioned to commemorate a milestone anniversary or presidential inauguration.
Typically an artist is selected for the honour to develop a highly symbolic design that incorporates the
university’s traditions.
Kwantlen’s mace was carved by Kwantlen First Nation artist Drew Atkins.
