The University Mace is a symbol of the authority of the UBC Chancellor.
O Canada! Our home and native land,
It is displayed on ceremonial occasions, most notably during the
Convocation ceremonies but also during the Installation of a President
or Chancellor.
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The true north strong and free!
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.

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

UBC generates ideas that start evolutions. Ideas that change
the way people think and the way the world works. We see this
change as an evolution, one that improves upon what has come
before and inspires the generations that follow.
We are committed to offering all students enriched education
experiences during their studies and to ensuring that all
qualified students have the opportunity to attend and to thrive.
The start an evolution campaign, our campus goal is to raise
$100 million for student support, innovative learning and social
spaces and research and community engagement.
Of equal importance is to ensure that our alumni stay

together. Combine your energy with ours. Together we will
discover new ideas to illuminate our way forward, creating
