MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT
Convocation is a day to recognize and
celebrate your achievements. It is also a
time of anticipation as you move forward
with cautious optimism and courage to
meet the many challenges ahead. In the
new realities of today’s world — with so
many serious issues before us — advanced
skills, education, and critical thinking are
more important than ever before.
Welcome to our celebration of the
achievements of more than 2000 students,
who will graduate this year. Today
we commemorate their diligence and
triumphs. Tomorrow and beyond, we
will watch with pride as they use their
knowledge, skill, and creativity to benefit us
all. Vibrant, innovative, healthy, inclusive
and sustainable communities are built on
the contributions of such graduates. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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!”

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.

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.”
