Ceremony Program - Vancouver Island University
Vancouver Island University g r a d u at i o n c o n v o c at i o n c e r e m o n i e s J u n e 2, 3 and 4 • 2 0 1 4 Vancouver Island University’s motto, Discoveries in Education, was adopted in 1969 when the institution, known then as Malaspina College, was first inaugurated. Recalling Captain Alejandro Malaspina, who explored the Vancouver Island region in the 18th century, VIU’s Coat of Arms pays tribute to exploration, depicting a Spanish barque under full sail. The motto also provides a link with one of Captain Malaspina’s ships – the Descubierta – which means Discovery. The Coat of Arms is displayed proudly onstage during the graduation convocation ceremonies in which VIU acknowledges the achievements, successes, exploration and discovery of each graduating student. co n v o c at i o n p r o g r a m | june 2, 3 & 4, 2014 1 Me s sag e f rom the Chancel l or It’s my honour to extend my congratulations to the graduates of June 2014.

His commitment to honouring his young fans has changed society’s outlook on music made for children. In 2010, Raffi founded The Centre for Child Honouring on Salt Spring Island, BC. With the motto “Respecting Earth & Child,” the Centre is at the heart of a global movement that views honouring children as the best way to create sustainable, peacemaking societies. Recently, Raffi published a new book for adults, Lightweb Darkweb, about the critical need to reform social media, especially for young users.

The son of a commercial fisherman, Tanabe was born in Prince Rupert in 1926 and summered in fishing camps on the Skeena River. He was interned as a Japanese alien during World War II. He studied at the Winnipeg Photograph of Takao Tanabe School of Art from 1946-49 before by Chick Rice going to New York, where he continued studies at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. After a summer at the Banff School of Fine Arts in 1953, Tanabe went to the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London, England and then to Tokyo University in Japan. Since 1949, Tanabe has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, and is represented in the National Gallery of Canada, the Vancouver Art Gallery and many other public and private collections. For his enormous contribution to the arts, Tanabe has been honoured with the Order of British Columbia, the Order of Canada and the Governor General’s Award, among many others. Tanabe’s abstract paintings of the 1950s were succeeded in the early 1960s by Japanese-influenced ink drawings. Later based in New York City, he painted hard-edge geometric abstracts in strong colours. These evolved in the 1970s into semi-abstract landscapes dominated by wide horizons, influenced by Tanabe’s encounters with the Hudson River Valley and the Canadian prairie and foothills. 10 co n v o c at i o n p r o g r a m | june 2, 3 & 4, 2014 Tanabe moved to Vancouver Island in 1980 where he continues to paint in his studio. His quiet, light-bathed landscapes reflect his interest in Zen Buddhism. Following a decade as head of the art program and artistin-residence at the Banff Centre, he returned to British Columbia in 1980, moving to Parksville where he still maintains an active studio practice. 2014 Honorary Doctor of Letters – Shel agh Rogers, OC Shelagh Rogers is a veteran broadcast-journalist.

When the platform party has assembled onstage, a smaller procession, known as the Chancellor's Procession enters the theatre, accompanied by the drumming of VIU's Elders-in-Residence. The Chancellor’s Procession consists of the Chancellor, President, Board Chair, Vice-Presidents, Registrar, and macebearer. Paddle The paddle that is carried in and out of the theatre by the President was given to the University by Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo when he was installed as Chancellor in 2008. This paddle, made by Brian Bob, Qwuyutsapulth of the Coast Salish/ Ucluelet First Nation, is carved of yellow cedar and signifies teamwork, pulling together, like in a canoe. The salmon carved onto the blade represents journeys; salmon leave the place where they are hatched but return later in their lives, much in the same way that youth earn an education and then return home to bring their skills and knowledge back to their communities. During his installation celebrations, Chief Atleo presented a paddle to each of the four regional campuses with the wish that it be used at special occasions, like a graduation ceremony. The paddle given to the Nanaimo campus is a steering paddle, which helps guide us in our important journeys. It has since become an important symbol and tradition in our convocation ceremonies. Mace During the Middle Ages, a metalclad wooden mace was an effective weapon in battle. As newer and more powerful arms were developed, its military significance diminished and it was transformed into a symbol of authority. Today, the ceremonial mace is used in many government assembly locations, such as the British and VIU Mace above and Macebearers for June ceremonies opposite page 14 This program was prepared a week before Convocation and therefore may not be complete. Canadian Houses of Parliament and is carried before ecclesiastical dignitaries and in university ceremonies such as this. The mace used for VIU’s convocation was designed and created by retired art instructor John A. Charnetski in 1994. The metre-long mace is made of stainless steel and gold-plated cast bronze. It features four guardian eagles and enameled medallions bearing VIU’s coat of arms and arbutus emblems. At our convocation ceremonies, the mace is carried by a retiring member of academic faculty or administration to honour his or her contribution to VIU. For a complete list of past macebearers, please visit viu.ca/convocation/macebearers.asp Marshals The graduates from each program are lead in the procession by a faculty member from that program.

Diploma and certificate students wear a cap and gown, while students who have achieved a bachelor's or master's degree also wear a hood draped over their shoulders. Like most universities in North America, the regalia worn by Vancouver Island University’s degree students is representative of their area of study. The gowns are largely similar, with the difference being in the sleeves: the bachelor’s gown has closed sleeves and the master’s gown has open sleeves. The hood colour indicates the graduate’s program or area of study: Bachelor of Arts – red; Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care – purple; Bachelor of Business Administration – regal gold; Bachelor of Education – burgundy; Bachelor of Hospitality Management – Persian turquoise; Bachelor of Interior Design – steel grey; Bachelor of Arts with white trim Bachelor of Music In Jazz Studies – admiralty blue; Bachelor of Natural Resource Protection – moss green; Bachelor of Science – Aztec gold; Bachelor of Science in Nursing – teal; Bachelor of Tourism Management – royal blue; Master of Arts in Sustainable Leisure Management – crimson; Master of Business Administration – purple; Master of Education in Educational Leadership – burgundy; Master of Education in Special Education – royal blue. The bachelor’s degree hood is edged in white and the master’s degree hood is lined in grey. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree hood is similar to the one used by the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom, through which VIU originally offered its first MBA programs and continues to offer a dual MBA-MScIB program. Master of Education in Educational Leadership with grey lined hood 16 This program was prepared a week before Convocation and therefore may not be complete.
