The University of the Fraser Valley is delighted and honoured to have served them. The entire university turns its focus to its fundamental reason for being. We salute our graduates and their families. We recognize the successes of staff and faculty members in helping students in their life journeys. We take satisfaction in seeing the results of hard work and accomplishment, and imagine the positive impact that our new graduates will make on the world around us. You’ve earned the right to enjoy this milestone and to be very proud of this moment. You are our future. Congratulations! Brian Minter, DTech UFV Chancellor Please also join us in thanking the talented and caring faculty and staff who are building our futures through their work with our students, and the many other volunteers and benefactors who share our vision. I consider myself very fortunate to have such great friends and colleagues in this important work. And finally, family and friends of our graduates, please know how much we appreciate your support and the opportunity to share this celebration with you. Mark D. Evered, PhD UFV President and Vice-Chancellor Message from the Alumni Association Chair Congratulations to the UFV graduating class of 2012.

Tony Luck, BBA ’96, BA ’07 UFV Alumni Association Chair G5 G G6 G about ufv Fraser Valley origins — Fraser Valley focus In 1974, after years of active campaigning by Fraser Valley citizens, Fraser Valley College (FVC) was established in Chilliwack and Abbotsford, with smaller centres in Mission, Hope, and Agassiz. In the early years, students gathered in church basements, local schools, and storefronts. The first buildings dedicated to FVC use opened at Marshall Road in Abbotsford and Yale Road in Chilliwack in the mid-1970s. The first permanent campus opened in 1983 on King Road in Abbotsford. FVC became the University College of the Fraser Valley (UCFV) in 1991, following another tremendous round of community support, and launched its first four-year bachelor’s degree programs in September 1992. More degrees were launched each year for several years. New facilities opened in Chilliwack in 1995 and in Mission the following year (as part of the Heritage Park Centre). In April 2008, the provincial government announced university status for UFV, following years of active lobbying by the communities of the Fraser Valley. The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) began operations under its new name on September 1, 2008. TODAY In 2012 the UFV is a fully accredited, public university that enrolls over 16,000 students per year. UFV has campuses and locations in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, and Hope, and international partnerships across the globe. The university now offers more than 100 programs, including two master’s degrees, 15 bachelor’s degrees, majors, minors, and extended minors in more than 30 subject areas, and more than a dozen trades and technology programs. As it grows, the university will continue to offer programming that addresses regional needs, while maintaining the strong commitment to teaching excellence that has resulted in outstanding student satisfaction rates. UFV’S VISION Changing Lives, Building Community It is UFV’s vision to provide the best undergraduate education in Canada and to be a leader of the social, cultural, economic, and environmentally-responsible development of the Fraser Valley. UFV will measure its success by the successes of its graduates and the successful development of the communities they serve. In achieving its goals, UFV has committed to being innovative, entrepreneurial, and accountable. G7 G G8 G our traditions ACADEMIC DRESS Academic regalia consists of a gown, hood, and a mortarboard or cap and tassel. The wearing of robes became common in the middle ages. In monasteries and universities of the time, scholars wore the same long closed gowns as other medieval men. By the time the University of Cambridge was founded in the early thirteenth century, doctors in law and music were permitted to wear gowns in scarlet, purple, and red. Over time, garments and colours came to identify their university. Regalia colours often matched those of the university patron, or the colours of the city in which the university was located. At UFV, vee-stoles for diploma and certificate graduates incorporate the university’s rich green colours. The coloured binding on the edge of the degree hoods represents the particular faculty from which a student is graduating. UFV hood colours are: • white — Arts • silver — Health Sciences • dark green — Professional Studies • pale green — Science • royal blue velvet — Honorary degree. The addition of red cord denotes a master’s degree. G9 G G 10 G our traditions Stó:lō Territory UFV strives to be a place of learning that recognizes, respects and includes indigenous ways of knowing. Our Fraser Valley locations are in the traditional territory of the Stó:lō peoples. THE TALKING STICK The Talking Stick is a gift from the Stó:lō people to UFV, honouring all aboriginal people. The Talking Stick leads the procession into Convocation and the recession after the ceremony. The figures on the Talking Stick being used at UFV’s Convocation are a wolf and a thunderbird. The wolf is symbolic of “the teacher” in Stó:lō territory while the thunderbird represents the highest level of knowledge. Most universities in the Commonwealth have a ceremonial mace, which accompanies the convocation ceremonies. It is the staff of office, representing official authority (such as the Speaker of the House of Commons). UFV uses the Talking Stick rather than a mace for this purpose, thus bringing together a partnership between aboriginal and university traditions. G 11 G G 12 G Matthew Krabbendam, Student Speaker, Faculty of Health Sciences. Student speakers Each year UFV departments nominate students to present the graduand address at each convocation ceremony. It is a great honour to be selected to represent the Class of 2012. We congratulate the following student speakers: Jennifer Ofeimu, Abbotsford Faculty of Professional Studies, Teacher Education program For Jennifer Ofeimu becoming an elementary school teacher is an extension of a career immersed in working with children. She first earned a BA in child and youth care from the University of Victoria, and a diploma in applied linguistics from the University of British Columbia, and then worked for 15 years with the Ministry of Social Services before running her own government-licensed daycare. She currently lives in the Fraser Valley with her family and looks forward to teaching here as well. Her year in the cohort-based group of future teachers of the Teacher Education program has been a stimulating one. “It’s a different experience coming back to university after being in the workforce and raising a family for over a decade. Our class had a very intimate feel to it, and we had a very close connection to the faculty members. It was a phenomenal experience and a cathartic journey.” Ofeimu says it’s a “complete and utter honour” to be chosen as student speaker. “So many of my classmates could rise to this occasion, so I’m putting great thought into my speech.” John (Jack) Brown, hope College of Arts, Bachelor of Arts, Philosophy major and Political Science minor Jack Brown has been a student of UFV since 2006, and is graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (philosophy major and political science minor). He’s been involved with a variety of student groups on campus over the last half decade, including The Cascade, UFV’s “hip and subversive student newspaper,” (as he affectionately refers to it), as guest columnist, board member, and opinion editor. Jack also served in UFV’s Student Union Society, first as VP Finance and then as President, where his big project was the inception and introduction of the U-Pass. “I got to see it from its very earliest stages to its eventual implementation,” Jack says. “I’m somewhat proud of that.” For students still at UFV, Jack suggests taking Scott Fast’s classes on the intellectual history of Western civilization, which will teach “everything you need to know from Plato to Marx in one year.” Meanwhile, Jack is moving on to bigger and better things: he is currently employed as constituency assistant to Gwen O’Mahony, member of the legislative assembly for Chilliwack-Hope. He one day hopes to continue his studies at graduate school. matthew krabbendam, chilliwack Faculty of Health Sciences, Bachelor of Science in Nursing Matt Krabbendam always knew he wanted a career in health sciences. “Choosing nursing provided me with the opportunity to have a solid foundation on which to build my career. When I think about who inspired me, my former epidemiology professor from Simon Fraser University comes to mind. She was not only a dynamic and engaging instructor, but one who also sacrificed to give to causes she cared about. Each year, she would spend time working with homeless youth in India.” Matt graduated last fall, and has been working ever since as a registered nurse at Abbotsford Regional Hospital on the surgical inpatient unit. “While working, I am continuing to explore opportunities for further education,” he notes. He did his research before choosing UFV for nursing school. “Prior to entering nursing, I learned that the UFV school of nursing has an excellent reputation, and its graduates are well prepared for work in the field. I have found this to be true in my own personal experience. I credit much my success to the quality of the nursing instructors at UFV, who go above and beyond to support their students, and whose passion for nursing is evident in both the clinical and classroom setting. “I am humbled, honoured, and delighted to be representing the Faculty of Health Sciences as the student speaker! The last four years have been a lot of hard work, but also enjoyable and rewarding. I know my graduating peers have also worked very hard, and I am proud to represent them as well, and together celebrate in our achievements.” Photo Credit: Nomi Koning G 13 G PROGRAM OF CEREMONY June 14, 2012 2:30 pm CALL TO ORDER Brad Whittaker Director of Research Services and Industry Liaison ORDER OF PROCESSION Faculty of Professional Studies graduands Faculty of Access and Open Studies graduands Talking Stick and Stó:lō drummers and elders UFV faculty Stage party Stó:lō WELCOME NATIONAL ANTHEM O CANADA O Canada!

We apologize for any omissions. Not all students listed have fulfilled their graduation requirements at the printing of the program. In the event of a discrepancy between this program and the UFV graduation roll, the UFV graduation roll shall be taken as correct. G 15 G G 16 G Teaching Excellence Award Dr. Sheryl MacMath UFV honours excellence in teaching every year through the presentation of its Teaching Excellence award. The award recognizes not only the classroom aspect of teaching, but also the behind-the-scenes work that is easy to overlook. Before and after lectures and labs, professors spend countless hours compiling materials and constructing lesson plans, and keeping up with the latest developments in their field, not to mention answering emails and holding office hours. This year’s award is particularly meaningful, as the recipient’s daily mission is to prepare the next generation of teachers. As such, Dr. Sheryl MacMath is a powerful mentor and role model for students in the Teacher Education program, who are themselves preparing to become teachers. It is something she excels at. This transformation from student to teacher can be a rocky one, and MacMath has built a support network for her students to make the transition as easy as possible. On the first day of classes, she hands out her home phone number in case they have any questions or crises, during the class or even during their careers. At Christmas, she sends each of her students a card. Her students attest to the countless hours MacMath spends reworking lesson plans and tailoring seminars to her individual classes. It’s these small gestures that make a good teacher a great one. “There are many things that make Sheryl MacMath an excellent candidate for the Teaching Excellence award, and to put them all down on paper would be impossible,” writes a student in one of almost 30 recommendation letters that accompanied MacMath’s nomination. “If Star Wars were to be quoted,” writes another, “Sheryl is a Jedi master: the Yoda of the Teacher Education program.” MacMath completed her PhD last year at the University of Toronto, with a focus on curriculum, teaching, and learning. G 17 G G 18 G HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT doctor of laws RAY SILVER SR. Ray Silver Sr. didn’t have much time or respect for formal education for most of his adult life. The Stó:lō elder had a terrible experience with residential school, first at Coqualeetza and then in Port Alberni. His younger brother died at the second school, and Ray returned home on a ferry with his brother in a coffin below decks. Like many of his generation, he was separated for crucial childhood years from his family, never learned his native Halq’eméylem language, and lost touch with much of his culture. He quit school at 12, and started a long career with the Clayburn brickmaking plant soon after. He always worked, making money at the plant and rising through the ranks to a leadership position, and hunting, fishing, and trapping. But Silver was also, in his words, a “slave to alcohol” until he was 41. “I had 11 kids and I supported them and loved them lots, but I wasn’t a great father to them when I was younger because of my drinking problem. I guess I became ‘me’ when I quit drinking.” This past Wednesday, he had a “birthday” party to celebrate 42 years of sobriety. Once he got sober, he started looking outward, and working with the youth in his community, running a boxing club for many years as a way of encouraging physical health, self-discipline, and sobriety. For his decades of community leadership and his role in reviving and perpetuating Stó:lō cultural traditions, UFV is presenting Ray with an honorary doctorate. He helped raise his own children and a dozen others, and encouraged youth to stay connected to their culture. “I kept them all at home and put them in public school after the experience we had at residential school, but I didn’t place a lot of emphasis on education because I’d had such a bad time with it. I didn’t push my children to work very hard at school because I was afraid of it,” he says. “I’m sorry about that today. Today a lot of our grandchildren and great-grandchildren have done very well at school. I’m encouraging my children and everybody else’s to go to school. It’s one of the most important things you can do in life today.” While he didn’t get much formal schooling, Ray taught himself to read and write later in life, and also considers himself a student of Mother Earth. “My education came from Mother Earth. We have to love what little of her we have left and learn to respect her, and also our waterways, which are the blood vessels of the earth.” He was instrumental in bringing the longhouse and the traditions associated with it back to the Sumas (Se:math) First Nation. He and his wife Millie continue to be strong proponents of aboriginal culture and very involved in their community. Last year, they organized the 35th annual Elders Gathering for aboriginal elders that attracted 5,000 people to Tradex in Abbotsford. They also run a youth dance group. Those dancers will be dancing for their grandfather this weekend in the longhouse as they honour Ray Silver Sr. on the occasion of his honorary degree. photo courtesy of the Abbotsford News.

G 27 G G 28 G HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT doctor of letters Red Robinson Red Robinson is a living museum of popular music and culture. Elvis Presley? Red Robinson met him. The Beatles? He emcee’d their show at Empire Stadium in 1964 and John Lennon cursed him off the stage. Buddy Holly and Louis Armstrong? Met them when they were launching their careers. John F. Kennedy? Met him during the 1960 presidential campaign. What started as a teenaged passion for Red — spinning rock ’n’ roll records on a local Vancouver radio station while still in high school — has turned into a six-decade career in the entertainment business. And he truly was a pioneer. He was the first DJ to play rock ’n’ roll music on a regular basis in Canada. You may say ‘it’s only rock ’n’ roll’ but in the mid-1950s the beatheavy music, heavily inspired by Black-American musical traditions, was viewed as subversive by most adults. Anyone trying to play it met with racist resistance from the establishment. “I was listening to American radio stations from up and down the West Coast and really getting into this new music, but nobody was doing in Canada yet. I was the first one to play it on a continuous basis. I really had the pulse of what my generation wanted to hear.” And he remains active in the industry, often greeting stars of yesterday and today as they perform at his Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam, and playing DJ Sunday afternoons on AM 650. For his pioneering contribution to the Canadian music industry, and his philanthropic work with the CHILD Foundation and the Heart and Stroke Foundation and other charities, Robinson is receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of the Fraser Valley on June 15. “I never expected to receive such an honour,” notes Robinson. “I never worked toward achieving awards — I worked for the joy of it.” Throughout his long career in radio and the entertainment industry Robinson has adhered to a belief in positive thinking. “You need to believe in yourself. Babe Ruth had the most home runs ever, but do you know who had the most strikeouts? Babe Ruth! You have to go to bat and swing if you want to succeed!” G 29 G Chad Matthew Surette College OF ARTS Amandeep Kaur Toor DR.

G 39 G G 40 G Research Excellence Award Dr. olav lian In a way, Dr. Olav Lian is just a middle-aged version of the proverbial little boy who likes to pick up rocks at the seashore to see what’s under them. But along the way, he has collected a doctorate in earth sciences, built a world-class luminescence dating laboratory at UFV, participated in and led cutting-edge research on environmental change, and mentored several undergraduate students as they launched their academic research careers. For his collaborative approach to research and his guidance of UFV students, Dr. Lian has been awarded the inaugural Research Excellence award at UFV. “I get an incredible amount of joy out of doing research and making discoveries,” he says. He also derives great joy from sharing his passion for scientific inquiry with others. “It’s a wonderful feeling making others aware of the opportunities that exist for pursuing research,” he says. Understanding timing of environmental change using grains of sand has been a lifetime’s work for Lian. As geochronologists, Lian and his associates view time very differently than many of us; they do this by studying the physical environment as it has changed over the millennia, by analyzing long-buried grains of sand using a technique called luminescence dating, which allows one to date when grains of sand buried within a landscape were last exposed to sunlight — or when that landscape was last unstable. Lian’s work has been published extensively in major journals. His research has earned him recognition and success in major external grant competitions such as NSERC, which have brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to UFV, and he has also been a dedicated and active member of the UFV research community. G 41 G G 42 G Honorary Degree Recipient doctor of laws sheldon kennedy Fourteen years ago, Sheldon Kennedy stood up to a bully and abuser on behalf of himself and all victims of childhood sexual abuse. The former pro hockey player was the first to accuse Graham James of abusing junior hockey players, which led to a conviction and, eventually, further charges. It was a very brave thing to do. Kennedy chose to ‘out’ himself as a victim in order to expose a problem that had been hidden away in sport. Since then, he has devoted his professional life to abuse prevention and education, running Respect Group with business partner Wayne McNeil, a company that provides online education for the prevention of abuse, bullying, and harassment. For his initial bravery and continued commitment to a very important cause, the University of the Fraser Valley is bestowing an honorary doctorate on Kennedy on June 15, which happens to be his 43rd birthday. Kennedy says he was surprised and honoured to be receiving an honorary degree. “Having been working so hard on an issue for such a long time, I don’t get a lot of opportunity for reflection because I am just concentrating on what is in front of me day to day. Recognition of this magnitude causes me to take a moment and say, ‘holy cow, we are making a difference.’” Kennedy has become an unofficial spokesperson for millions of abuse survivors around the world. His life story was made into an award-winning television movie and he has appeared on Oprah, Nightline, W-5 and The Fifth Estate. After retiring from the NHL, Sheldon in-line skated across Canada to raise awareness of abuse issues, and raised more than $1 million, which he gave to the Red Cross for anti-bullying initiatives. In 2006, Kennedy wrote Why I Didn’t Say Anything, a riveting account of the many psychological impacts of abuse. Sheldon’s personal experience and continued work “in the trenches” has led to his passion to effect change. When the sexual abuse case at Penn State University came to light last year, Kennedy was asked to testify before a congressional committee about how Canadian sport was addressing abuse prevention. “The spotlight is really on Canada when people are looking at who is leading the way in this area,” he says. “What I presented to Congress was the concept of empowering the bystander, so that the 99 percent of people in organized sport who are good citizens are empowered to stand up for the rights of children and given the tools to do so.” G 43 G Annastacia Emily Pesek FACULTY OF SCIENCE ORA STEYN, DEAN Bachelor of Science Nana Afua Akyaa Addo * Biology major, Pre-medicine concentration Aasma Kausar Ahmad Biology major Georgia Margaret Ballem * Biology major Jannetta Christina Barten Mathematics major, Biology minor Sheldon Xavier Bjorgaard Biology major Kathryn Marie Bose * Biology major, Cellular and Molecular Genetics concentration, Pre-medicine concentration Shelley Lynn Brooks Biology major, English minor Wallis Kathryn Brooks Biology major, Kinesiology minor for Science Christopher Glenn Otto Csoka Peiter Djaja *+ Biology major, Cellular and Molecular Genetics concentration Physics major, Psychology extended minor Jonathan Andrew Dyck Physics major, Biology minor Joel Allan Ewald Physical Geography major Helena Fraser *+ Honours Biology, Physical Geography minor, Ecology concentration Samantha Gallinger Biology major Jasraaj S.
