What’s in a leaf?
At the heart of it this national symbol honours
our namesake, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, seventh Prime
Minister of Canada. That alone is a unique claim
among Canadian universities. But look closely.
Laurier’s maple leaf is a microcosm of connectivity
and support – every vein contributing to the
health of the whole. The beauty and simplicity of
the maple leaf can only be realized through this
common purpose of nature. And so it is at Laurier
– faculty, staff, students and alumni committed to
a common vision: To Inspire Lives of Leadership
and Purpose.

Maureen Sabia
Maureen Joanne Sabia is a trailblazer not only
for Canadian women in business, but also for
Canadian business leaders, simply by being
unafraid to follow her own path. Her successes
are built on values learned in her childhood and
forged in the boardroom. Her name has become
synonymous with business excellence and effective
corporate governance.
Maureen Sabia has made effective board
governance and the advancement of women in
business her twin passions throughout her career. A
lawyer and experienced corporate director herself,
she has a keen understanding of organizational and
strategic issues facing corporate boards. She has
advised several governments and advisory bodies
on specialized organizational and strategic projects
through her consulting practice, Maureen Sabia
International, established in 1986.
Born in Montreal, she earned a degree in
English and History from McGill University. Her
application to Harvard Law School was rejected
owing to her gender. Undeterred, she soon earned
a law degree from the University of Toronto, one
of only three women in a class of 300. Her career
began with the Ontario Securities Commission.
She became Assistant Counsel to the Ontario
Law Reform Commission, and served as Director
of Research & Policy and Solicitor to the Board
of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement
System (OMERS). She left the public service to join
Canadian Pacific and subsequently became General
Counsel to Redpath Industries.
Her expertise has benefitted many of Canada’s
major companies and her resumé is a veritable
Who’s Who of Canada’s leading corporations. She
is the second-longest serving director on the Board
of Canadian Tire Corporation, which she joined
in 1985 and has served as chairman since 2007.
She remains one of the very few Canadian women
to hold the position of chairman of the board at a
major public company.
Maureen Sabia has served on the boards of
Skyjack Inc., Hydro One, Gulf Canada Resources
4
Ltd., Laurentian General Insurance, Olympia &
York Properties Corporation, and was chairman
of the Export Development Corporation. She was
Vice-Chairman of the Public Accountants Council
for the Province of Ontario and was Chairman of
the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada
Departmental Audit Committee.
Self-discipline, determination and the ability
to set and meet goals are lifelong habits which
she credits to her parents and upbringing. A
structured, restrained and dedicated worker, she
serves as an illustration that obstacles and walls can
be overcome — if you have the desire, focus and
discipline.
A commitment to post-secondary education
has been a common thread throughout her career.
She has served on the boards of the University of
Guelph and Brock University, she is the founder
and first chairman of the Women in Management
Research Project at Western University, has
served on the Advisory Board of the Laura L.
Sabia Education & Research Endowment at the
University of Toronto, and she also serves on the
Leadership Council of the Perimeter Institute for
Theoretical Physics in Waterloo. She served on
the Board of Trustees of the Sunnybrook Health
Sciences Centre, and chaired its Foundation for
many years.
It will be no surprise that she was appointed an
Officer of the Order of Canada in 2011, and was
named one of Canada`s Most Powerful Women in
2009.
By welcoming her into the Laurier alumni family
today, she joins a distinguished group of citizens
who embody Laurier’s raison d’être: to inspire
lives of leadership and purpose. Maureen Sabia
is an exemplar of this mission. Mr. Chancellor, I
am instructed by the Senate of the University to
request to you to admit the degree of Doctor of
Laws, honoris causa, to Maureen Sabia.
Presented by Mr. Peter Ansley

FALL CONVOCATION 2014
The Ceremony
Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community. Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages, universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them.
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university.
As an outward sign of his or her new state, the student wears a hood. Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the student’s status may be
recognized—indeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university.
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved, the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais. Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees.
The Heraldic
Coat of Arms
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment. In Canada, the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor, master and doctor. Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act.
The bachelor’s degree is awarded at the honours and general level. An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the student’s chosen honours subject,
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society. A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understanding
of the student’s major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields. Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree, three years.
The master’s degree is the second degree in higher education. Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area. Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required.
Some master’s degrees provide professional qualifications. The master’s degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelor’s degree.
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university. Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge. The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation, an extended work based upon independent research. The
dissertation demonstrates the candidate’s command of both the subject matter and the exacting
methods of scholarship, and makes an original contribution to knowledge.
33
Honorary Degrees
Honorary degrees are conferred by Wilfrid Laurier University in recognition of outstanding
scholarly, creative, or professional achievement or distinguished public and community service.
The university may grant the following honorary degrees: Doctor of Laws (LLD), Doctor of
Letters (DLitt), Doctor of Science (DSc) and Doctor of Divinity (DDiv).
Wilfrid Laurier University Mace
Detail of the
Wilfrid Laurier
University Mace
The mace of Wilfrid Laurier University was officially presented by the Euler family at the 1963 fall
convocation in memory of The Honourable W.D. Euler, former senator of Canada and the first
chancellor of the university. It weighs 16 pounds and was manufactured by the firm of Henry
Birks Limited, Montreal.
The ferrule near the base of the shaft contains ivory from a walrus tusk obtained from Coral
Harbour, Northwest Territories. The ten-sided shaft, representing the ten provinces, merges
into the head of the mace which bears the ten provincial crests. The wood used at the point
where the shaft meets the head of the mace is elm taken from the bannister post of Conrad
Hall, the original seminary building. Above this are four crests relating to the history of the
institution: a crest of Waterloo County, the Luther Coat of Arms, the crest of the Waterloo
Lutheran Seminary and the coat of arms of the University of Western Ontario.
The head of the mace is made of maple and bears the Federal Coat of Arms, above which is the
monogram of Queen Elizabeth II, during whose reign the university’s charter was granted. On
the reverse side is the crest of Wilfrid Laurier University and the monogram of King George V,
during whose reign the original charter was granted. The top of the mace is a crown, mounted
with jewels, symbolizing the authority of the State.
34
The Marshal’s Baton
Dr. Fred Binding, a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 32 years retired in
July 2003. He had served as the university marshal for ten years. Sadly, Dr. Binding died in
August 2003. In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies, artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshal’s baton.
In the baton, the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony, both directly and symbolically. In keeping with the nature of the ceremony, some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs, and the baton’s design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr. Fred Binding.
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood,
with details in the university colours: purple and gold. These forms also read as plant buds,
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates. The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton. This is a reference to the interests of Dr. Fred Binding. It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greek
language has particular importance in western culture.

marshal’s baton.
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retirees’ Association.
Alumni Association
Over 88,000 graduates of Wilfrid Laurier University and its predecessors are the members
of the Wilfrid Laurier University Alumni Association (WLUAA). WLUAA, a volunteer driven,
non-profit organization, is the official body representing Laurier alumni. The elected Board of
Directors is representative of all academic faculties and many different decades.
WLUAA supports Wilfrid Laurier University with revenue from alumni services, such as group
home, auto and life insurance, and an affinity credit card. WLUAA revenues
help to fund alumni programs, university projects, student groups, scholarships, homecoming
and Laurier Campus, the alumni magazine.
The mission of WLUAA is:
To engage and represent a community that supports and enriches our alumni,
students and the University.
