Vancouver Island
University's motto,
Discoveries in Education,
was adopted in 1969.
Recalling Captain
Alejandro Malaspina, who explored the
Vancouver Island region in the 18th
century, VIU's Coat of Arms pays tribute to
exploration by depicting a Spanish barque
under full sail. The motto also creates 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 during which VIU celebrates the
achievements, successes, exploration, and
discovery of each graduating student.

Message from the Chancellor
I extend gratitude to the Coast Salish Peoples on whose ancestral land, this great
University does its work.
Graduates, studies show that family background is the main determinant of financial
fate. This means that if your parents have post-secondary education it is far more
likely you will follow in that path. And if your parents do not have post-secondary
education, by you achieving your educational goal, you have opened a door for new
opportunities for yourself, your children and generations to come. I extend a heartfelt,
multi-generational congratulations to you and your families.
You are graduating into a time of unprecedented change and challenge. The truth
about Canada’s treatment of Indigenous Peoples has been told - our founding myths
were riddled with racism. Now it is time for reconciliation, but colonization has injured
us all profoundly. The land too has been left with trauma. The old narrative, privileging
individualism and worshiping consumerism, has transformed and harmed Mother
Earth, out of human arrogance and greed. We need to have justice for the land and
resources. We must heal the wounds of the past, transform the present conditions and
create a future of dignity and beauty for all beings and for all life on Earth.
This is the work you have come here to do. I have heard Elders say that your
education is as good as what you do with it. Dream, learn, and then act - give and give
back.
Serving in a volunteer capacity, the
Chancellor acts as an ambassador for
and a champion of the University. The
Chancellor is the titular head of the
university, presiding over convocation
ceremonies, conferring degrees and
providing advice to the president. The
Chancellor is a member of the Board of
Governors and the Senate.
I extend gratitude to VIU for preparing you for a democracy of reconciliation. The face
of democracy is changing - half of the federal cabinet is women. Working closely with
Indigenous Peoples, VIU’s partners, governors, teachers and staff, alumni, here at VIU
you have participated in a multi-cultural learning environment which is an incubation
space for a new narrative. Here, talent has no racial or sexual boundaries; the culture
is of innovation and inclusion, and there is always a helping hand, removing barriers to
education through programs like the Tuition Waiver for Youth in Care. These lessons
strengthen our national identity and provide opportunities to embrace the challenges
of our collective survival. In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Bless you graduates - the artists, the chefs, the builders, the fixers, the singer of
songs and righter of wrongs - workers for justice and healing; the visionaries, the
inventors, the scientists, educators and carriers of fresh meaning. Nothing is lost in
love and education. We will make it through, because of you.
Louise Mandell, Q.C.
Chancellor

Message from the President
The Vancouver Island University community – faculty, staff, alumni and current
students – would like to extend our congratulations to the Graduates of 2016.
It’s no small feat to pursue a post-secondary education and put in the hard work and
determination it takes to reach today’s milestone, convocation.
I encourage our graduates to take a moment to reflect on what they’ve accomplished.
I know that they are looking towards their future, inspired by the possibilities.
Achieving a post-secondary education will open the doors to many new opportunities –
opportunities they now have the skills and expertise to take advantage of.
As they start to make choices about their future, they will continue to be supported
by their families and friends and the VIU community of faculty and staff. Today, as
they graduate, they also join a dynamic group of more than 75,000 alumni who
are working, learning and enjoying life all over the world. I sincerely hope all of
our graduates will stay connected to VIU and to their peers through our Alumni
Association. Our global network of alumni will continue to support, encourage and
inspire each of our graduates throughout their life.
On behalf of the University’s Board of Governors, the Senate, faculty and staff,
congratulations to the graduates – we are all proud of you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ralph Nilson
President and Vice-Chancellor

University.

Mace
During the Middle Ages, a metal-clad 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 Canadian Houses of
Parliament, and in university ceremonies such as this.
VIU Mace

co n v o c at i o n p r o g r a m
| JUNE 24,2016
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 goldplated cast bronze. It features four guardian eagles and
enameled medallions bearing VIU’s coat of arms and arbutus
emblems.
Paddle
The paddle that is carried in an out of the theatre by the
President was given to the University by Chief Shawn A-inchut 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.
VIU Paddle
Convocation Procession
VIU's graduation convocation ceremony begins with a procession of the graduating students, faculty, and distinguished guests
into the theatre, led by a bagpiper.
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.

Ceremonial Convocation Suite Presented by Coast Capital Savings
VIU's Ceremonial Convocation Suite was created by worldrenowned artist Arthur Vickers, OBC, DFA, and given by Coast
Capital Savings to the University in May 2015 to support our
institutions' common goal of inspiring and celebrating the
generations of VIU students, graduates and alumni. The suite
also reflects a shared value of Coast Capital Savings and VIU
- the belief in the power of education to change peoples' lives
and build strong, vibrant communities.
There are three distinct pieces in the Ceremonial Convocation
Suite:
• the Chancellor's Chair, The Keeper of Wisdom and
Knowledge;
• the President and Vice-Chancellor's Chair, The Keeper
of Knowledge; and
• the Ceremonial Parchment Bentcorner Box
(Huupukwanum) where the parchments are held before
being presented to the University's graduates.
8
co n v o c at i o n p r o g r a m
| JUNE 24,2016
The suite is an integral part of the University's convocation
ceremony. The Chancellor and President & Vice-Chancellor
reside in the two chairs during the ceremony, surrounded by
the University's faculty and graduates. During the ceremony,
each graduate, after receiving their parchment, is invited to
touch the lid of the Ceremonial Parchment Bentcorner Box,
marking the end of their VIU education and the beginning
of the next chapter of their lives. Through this tradition they
leave their imprint on the wood, symbolizing the impact and
impression they will leave on VIU and weaving their story
together with all the graduates who came before them and all
who will come after them.
When the ceremonial convocation pieces are not in use at
VIU's convocation ceremonies they are on public display at
the University's Nanaimo campus in the Welcome Centre
(Building 300).
