Dear Graduand,
Your graduation began long before this day.
It began when you made the choice to study that extra
hour, dedicate yourself more deeply, and strive to reach
for the degree you had chosen to fully commit your
life to pursuing.
Many of the people that helped you arrive here today
are seated beside you—friends, family, classmates—
while others are thinking of you from afar.
We are honoured to have given you a place to
discover, inspire others and be challenged beyond
what you thought was possible.
We hope you know, we will always be that place for you.
Yours,
UBC

THE GRADUATION JOURNEY

In UBC’s first annual, published 100 years ago in 1916,
President Frank F. Wesbrook wrote: “Ours is the task of
helping to adjust the rights of the individual to the needs
of all, of the obligations of each to the other and to
the world. Today’s chosen people are those in training
for such tasks. A glorious heritage is ours.”
Wesbrook’s aspiration for UBC students is surprisingly
still relevant. Our learning environment encourages
global citizenship and it is our hope that the graduands
of today, having made UBC ‘theirs,’ go on to use their
education to change the world for the better.
UBC graduands have, with the support of classmates,
family and friends, collectively built our shared heritage
since 1916. We hope you know how proud we are
of your contribution to what we’ve become, and who
we will be, for the next 100 years.

THE GRADUATION JOURNEY
“As we move into our second century, please stay in touch.
Whichever path you choose to follow, you will always be
welcome at UBC, and we hope that you will continue to play a
part in the life of this great university. Tuum est! It is yours!”
M ARTHA C . PIPE R , OC OBC LLD’07
PRE SIDENT AND VICE- CHANCELLOR
1916
1920s
1940s
One of the first graduating classes was
the Arts Class of 1916 pictured here at a
party at the home of Mary Wilons. In
UBC’s first year, there were only three
faculties: Arts, Applied Science and
Agriculture with 379 registered students
and 34 faculty members.
The student-led Great Trek to UBC’s Point
Grey established the university’s first
campus. The Alma Mater Society (AMS)
incorporated as a non-profit society and
the university began awarding its first
graduate degrees to students. In the
Ubyssey, published in September 23, 1925,
students described the new campus with a
sense of wonder: “We are dazed with the
appearance of architectural cleanliness
and bewildered by our lineal freedom.”
The forties were an era of tremendous
change at the university as both students
and faculty embraced the war effort.
In 1943, new President Norman
MacKenzie began in earnest to expand the
university and new departments were
formed along with new buildings to house
them including Brock Hall and the first
student union building. By the 1950s, UBC
had established itself as a comprehensive
university and top choice for students in
BC and beyond.
4
1960s
1980s
2000s
Student numbers continued to escalate
alongside the scholarly activities
that began to define UBC as a leader in
research. The campus was alive with
sixties counterculture and a sixth
president of UBC was elected by the
name of Dr. Walter Gage. New student
residences were created to respond
to the expanding student body as well as
a new student union building. Students
gained influence at the university and
were elected to the University Board of
Governors for the first time.
With over 34,000 students registered at
the beginning of the eighties, UBC began
attracting scholars from all over the world.
Engineering students were in the news
frequently for their pranks, which included
the famous Ladner Clock Tower stunt in
which students pulled off hoisting a white
Volkswagen Bug onto the top of the tower.
Dr. Martha Piper was elected President in
1997 and ushered in an era of international
engagement that saw UBC step onto
the world stage as an educator and global
centre for research excellence.
The demand for increased access to
post-secondary education led to the official
opening of UBC’s Okanagan campus in
2005. Student learning opportunities
multiplied as UBC expanded to include two
major campuses—the Vancouver Campus
and the Okanagan Campus.
2016
Close to 13,000 students will become
the Class of 2016. They will go on to
join over 310,000 alumni who have
successfully graduated from UBC and
continue their journey as treasured
members of the UBC community.

GRADUATION TRADITIONS
6
The University Mace is a symbol of the authority of the
Chancellor. It is displayed on ceremonial occasions, most
notably during the convocation ceremonies but also
during the Installation of a President or Chancellor.
THE UNIVERSITY MACE
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.
Created by First Nations artist Sheldon
Louis of the Okanagan Indian Band, the
University Mace is carved from a single
piece of alder wood, and combines
Okanagan Nation traditions with
university customs. The main artwork on
the Mace features three symbolic spirit
icons—a mother bear with her two cubs,
the image of the mountains, and water—
given to UBC Okanagan in 2005 by the
Okanagan Nation elders. The spirit icon
gifts were selected by a group of First
Nation elders, led by Andrew McGinnis,
an Okanagan Traditional Medicine Keeper
from the Penticton Indian Band, and Victor
Antoine, an elder of the Okanagan Indian
Band. Each spirit icon was chosen carefully
for its special significance to the region,
reflecting local Okanagan Nation tradition,
culture and knowledge.
The Mace also features a number of
university symbols, including the UBC
Okanagan logo, the University coat of arms
and the UBC motto Tuum Est – It’s Yours. In
addition, the back of the Mace displays the
word Suknaqinx, which is of the Nsyilxcen
language, spoken by the Okanagan’s
original people. Roughly translated, it
means “the ones who stand on the hill and
are seen and heard from far away.”
The University Mace, which was carved in
the shape of a paddle, representing the
importance of Okanagan Lake to the
region’s people, is also inlaid with silver,
applied by First Nations silversmith artist
Justin Terbasket of the Lower Similkameen
Indian Band. The Mace was used for the first
time at the 2009 Convocation Ceremonies.
THE PROCESSION
Chancellor Lindsay Gordon shakes the
hand of every student that crosses the
stage—that’s over 10,000 students each
year. This handshake signifies the
transition between student and graduate.
REGALIA COLOURS
The hoods, gowns and hats worn
by graduates are lined with colours to
indicate the degree to be conferred, a
tradition dating back to the Middle Ages
when the first universities were founded.
THE CHANCELLOR’S OKANAGAN CHAIR
In 2007, UBC’s Okanagan campus
commissioned the creation of a new
Chancellor’s chair for use in Okanagan
Convocation ceremonies. Handcrafted by
master furniture maker Dennis Weidman
of Lake Country, BC, the chair was
fashioned from cherry wood, a species
selected for its significance in the
Okanagan’s long history as a fruit–growing
region.
The chair’s front panel features UBC’s
motto, Tuum Est, the UBC logo laser
engraved in the headrest panel, and UBC’s
coat of arms on each side panel.

CHANCELLOR’S WELCOME
Here it is at last—your graduation day, and with the
added distinction of it occurring at a historic milestone
for your university.
Exactly 100 years ago UBC held its first
Congregation ceremony, at which it
granted degrees to the first 40 graduates.
They graduated during a turbulent time in
human history with a terrible war raging,
but our challenges are no less significant:
climate change, human rights, a mounting
refugee crisis, inequality, poverty, food
security…and yes…conflict, but a very
different kind of conflict to that
experienced by our first graduation class.
You therefore may share similar hopes
and fears of members of the Class of 1916.
Like them, you too are probably
preoccupied with the future.
Had I been Chancellor back in 1916 my
message to those 40 graduates would be
the same that I offer to the graduates
of today: irrespective of what pursuits you
undertake, ensure they are activities in
which you can maintain a passionate
interest. At the same time, however,
remain sharply aware of the inevitable and
perpetual changes in the world around
you, and in yourselves.
That does not mean that circumstances
have not changed in the past century.
The spectrum of knowledge and
influencers of change—social, cultural,
economic and technological—are as
complex as ever, meaning that you will
8
invariably encounter new circumstances,
and you may well be tempted to pursue an
entirely new direction and destiny
tomorrow than those you may be
contemplating today. The message is
simply this: remain curious, open-minded
and flexible as the journey unfolds.
At the same time, ensure that you play
your part in helping to build a diverse,
inclusive and better community.
Understand the obligations that we make
to one another in a civilized society, and
not only to our neighbours at home but to
strangers from afar. Above all, seek truth
and compassion over bitter opinion and
misplaced fear.
One final thought—graduation should
never mean goodbye. As UBC alumni, I
sincerely hope you will remain connected
in some way to your university. Please
take advantage of the many opportunities
to be active and engaged members of
our alumni community, which has grown
from those 40 inaugural graduates of
1916, to over 310,000 today.
On behalf of all of them, I extend my very
best wishes and warmest congratulations.

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
My warmest congratulations
to the Graduating Class of 2016!
You are members of a very special class:
you are graduating exactly 100 years after
UBC’s first degree ceremony, held
downtown at the Hotel Vancouver and
presided over by UBC’s first President,
Dr. Frank Wesbrook.
The first graduating class of 1915-16
comprised only 40 people. Canada was at
war, and many UBC students were away
serving their country. The UBC campus in
Fairview was little more than a collection
of temporary buildings—the “Fairview
shacks,” as they were called. Many classes
were given in church basements and
professors’ homes. Hardly an auspicious
beginning for a university that President
Wesbrook hoped would turn into “the
Cambridge of the Pacific.”
I wonder what he would think about
the changes that have occurred over the
past century. He could not possibly
have foreseen that his university would
grow from a student body of less than
400 to one that now exceeds 60,000;
that the number of living alumni would
be 310,000 and counting; that UBC
would produce some of Canada’s top
scientists and scholars, writers and
artists, public servants—including three
prime ministers of Canada—and leaders
in every profession.
1 0
What President Wesbrook did recognize,
however, was that with the birth of his tiny
university in a remote province on
Canada’s distant west coast, something
significant had taken place: something
with enormous promise. In the student
yearbook for 1916, he wrote: “To us has
come the opportunity of making our
Province, our Dominion, our Empire, and
our world, a better place in which to live.”
The world has changed in many ways
since Dr. Wesbrook penned those words.
Canada is no longer a dominion, nor part
of an empire. But his vision of UBC’s role,
his belief in its potential greatness and the
importance of its future contributions—
those have been amply justified. UBC is
indeed a great university, in size, in
achievement, in the significant role it has
played and continues to play on the
national and the international scene as a
major centre of learning and research.
As graduates of UBC, you have benefited
from guidance and instruction by some of
the best scholars and teachers in this
country, and enjoyed the kind of social,
academic, and sporting opportunities
that only a great university can provide.
At every level of your UBC education,
you have been exposed to the rigours of
critical thinking, to the complexities
of problem-solving, and to the need for
risk-taking and imagination in the creation
of new ideas. Your studies have provided
you with strong communication skills
in a variety of media, and taught you the
value of teamwork and collaboration.
Now it is time to turn your hard-earned
expertise and knowledge to good use,
to become involved with your society,
and to offer your ideas with the confidence
that you will be heard and respected.
People will look to you for solutions to the
social, economic, and environmental
problems that afflict us. Like the
generations of UBC graduates who came
before you, you will provide the leadership
and vision that every society needs to
prosper.
As we move into our second century,
please stay in touch. Whichever path you
choose to follow, you will always be
welcome at UBC, and we hope that you
will continue to play a part in the life of
this great university through membership
in alumni UBC. Tuum est! It is yours!

contributions to the Okanagan region.
Today, it is with honour that we, in turn,
recognize this milestone in the life of the
University.
The honouring of one’s intellect and
acquiring of knowledge are integral to
Syilx culture. The Syilx traditions and
ceremonies acknowledged and awarded
achievement no matter how big or small.
Announcements were made in the Nation
that “this is a day of significance to this
person, (family and/or community) and
you are all welcome to share in this
celebration”. The Okanagan have always
shared their land, their teaching, and their
culture with others. It is our responsibility
and duty to use these gifts and serve our
community. Now as graduates, you too
will have this opportunity to share your
education with the community. Your
educational achievement will serve you
and your community well. We encourage
you to serve your community!
We are pleased to extend our
congratulations to all the new Okanagan
graduates of UBC. We are honoured to be
part of your convocation ceremony and
recognition of achievement, and the
meaning inherent in special events like
this one have always been an integral part
of Syilx culture, customs and community
life. Learning is valued in our communities.
It is fundamental to the well-being and
survival of all people.
The Okanagan Nation Alliance and UBC
have forged a new path of partnership and
inclusion so that we can all learn to

OKANAGAN SONG
We are beautiful / Because we are Okanagan /
Because our land is beautiful.
The Okanagan Song is based on a
traditional song style called
skəlmxquin. Skəlmxqin songs belong to
the Okanagan/Syilx people collectively.
Songs of this style can be sung by any
Okanagan/Syilx person using their own
phrasing and their own emotion while
maintaining the formal rhythm and
structure. This song has been called the
“Okanagan Song” or the “Okanagan
Nation Anthem” because the phrasing and
meaning were constructed to celebrate
pride in being Okanagan.
Translation of suknaquinx skəlmxquinx
Note: the word aɬi translates three
separate ways in this song.
Aɬi kʷu swi wi numtax
(given that we are good-looking/vibrant/
strong)
Aɬi kʷu suknaqinx
(due to being Okanagan)
Aɬi axaʔ iʔ tmxʷulaʔxʷ
(because of this land)
Literation/meaning
We are beautiful
Because we are Okanagan
Because our land is beautiful

Howard Restorative Justice Program.
A researcher with extensive experience in a variety of fields, Dr.
Walsh is a mentor in the Canadian Institutes for Health Research
IMPART fellowship for interdisciplinary addictions research
training, and created the increasingly popular third-year Drugs
and Behaviour course.
A respected teacher, an inspiring mentor, a connecting force and
an innovator in his field, Dr. Walsh consistently demonstrates the
strengths recognized by this award.
Dr. Mary Ann Murphy
Associate Professor of Sociology in the Irving K. Barber School of
Arts and Sciences and Social Work in the Faculty of Health and
Social Development
Dr. Mary Ann Murphy is an innovator of curriculum and
community engagement focused on the mutual benefits of
community partners and students. Indeed, she is a pioneer
for this campus, developing one of the first UBC Okanagan
community service learning projects in 2006—and in the decade
since then, she has gone on to supervise another 35 projects.
She created and taught the first aging specialization in a
Canadian school of social work. Her teaching emphasizes critical
thinking and inquiry-based learning. From this, a novel social
change curriculum has emerged in sociology, which places an
emphasis on human rights, global aging and global citizenship.
Students praise her dedication, organization and commitment
to creating inter-generational classroom experiences in which
17-year-olds and people in their 80s learn together and from one
another.
She now teaches Sociology 480 – Aging, Diversity and Inequality,
with an approach that embraces UBC’s commitment to fostering
global awareness for students, faculty and our local and wider
communities.
Dr. Muphy’s deep commitment to students young and old—and
her commitment to multiple communities in and outside the
university—are recognized through this award.

ALUMNI WELCOME
Welcome, Class of 2016, to your new and honoured
place among more than 310,000 UBC alumni in 120
countries. That’s a powerful network you can leverage to

relationship with the University enters a
whole new phase.
You might be surprised at just who your
fellow alumni are, and their levels of
accomplishment, influence and contribution
to society. No matter where you go, you will
find yourself in the company of amazing
people who are making a real difference in
the world—educators, artists, doctors,
nurses, business and community leaders—
UBC grads who will be your role models,
mentors, colleagues and friends.
alumni UBC will help you connect through
our email updates, website and social
networks. You can participate in our
mentoring, cultural, education and careerbuilding programs, here in the Okanagan and
around the world through alumni networks
as far away as London, Hong Kong and Seoul
or as close as Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary
and Toronto.
100%
When in Vancouver, be sure to visit the
Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre. It’s UBC’s
home for alumni for life, where you will
always be welcome to make alumni
connections, attend events, or book your own
meetings or celebrations. You can find
yourself on the Interactive UBC Alumni Wall
too.
Remember our motto: Tuum Est (it is yours).
UBC is still yours. It will always be yours. So
reach out. Stay in touch. Ask for help when
you need it. Lend a hand when you can. To
