3 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

To the graduates of 2013: It is my honour, on behalf of The University of Winnipeg, to offer congratulations to each of you on your achievements. Today, we celebrate the hard work and resolve you have demonstrated in earning your degrees. Your commitment, determination and resilience are important qualities you take with you as you approach a new chapter in your life. UWinnipeg is uniquely urban and richly diverse. Cultures, ideas and a connection to the global community flourish here. As new graduates who are transitioning to become tomorrow’s community leaders, entrepreneurs, academics and activists, I urge you to remain flexible, curious and open to new opportunities and ways of understanding the world throughout your careers. Learning has become a lifelong privilege and responsibility. The UWinnipeg campus around us is also in transition, changing to better serve future generations of students with world-class facilities, while strengthening our downtown and inner-city community. We are creating new, relevant academic programs and reaching out to all students, including those who have traditionally faced barriers to participating in post-secondary education. That too, is our greatest strength. You are part of this vibrant community university. As new alumni, you are now members of the UWinnipeg family, joining more than 45,000 people who have passed through our doors. Last fall, we launched a new Future Fund to support continued innovation, special projects and research on campus and to help carry on UWinnipeg’s tradition of academic excellence. I invite you, as graduates, to consider how you might one day give back and create a better future for UWinnipeg students. Today, it is also important that we pause to recognize and value the support and encouragement you have received from your family, your professors, friends and fellow students who have helped you realize your dreams. It is our sincere hope that your time at the University will serve you well and inspire you for many years to come as you move forward to create a difference in your community and your chosen field. On behalf of our faculty and staff: congratulations and please accept my best wishes for oury adventures ahead.

Sincerely,

Lloyd Axworthy, PC, BA, PhD, LLD, OC, OM President and Vice-Chancellor, The University of Winnipeg

5 Message from the Alumni Association

To the Class of 2013: Congratulations to all 2013 grads! On behalf of UWinnipeg's alumni family, I wish you evergreater success as you enter the world beyond equipped with your new credentials. A degree from The University of Winnipeg is recognized far and wide – it shows that you are among the very best in your field. It is a sign that you have completed a rigorous program designed to test your limits and encourage growth. In addition, it is evidence of your dedication, not only to yourself, but to the broader community. The University of Winnipeg is more than a place that trains people for their future careers; it represents and fosters within its students a belief that we should always strive to make the world a better place. Some might think this is idealistic, but having graduated from The University of Winnipeg, we know that each of us can make a contribution towards the greater good. Now, more than ever, the world needs “global citizens” who will take on the many challenges that face us. As you move forward from here, I hope you never lose sight of these values. I also hope that you will keep in touch with your friends and that you will choose to remain connected to your University. Please remember that the Alumni Association network is here to provide you with support as your journey continues. Congratulations on your achievement!

38 The University of Winnipeg Coat of Arms

he Coat of Arms of The University of Winnipeg was officially adopted by the governing bodies of the University during the academic session of 1972-73. The elements found within the Coat of TArms have been associated over the years with both Manitoba and Wesley Colleges, the ancestors of United College. The bunch of grapes in the lower portion of the inner shield derives from the Coat of Arms of Manitoba College. The grape symbol has its origin in the College seal adopted in the charter of 1871. The cross, the lamp, and the open book derive from the Coat of Arms of Wesley College, designed in 1897 by Dr. J.H. Riddell. The cross, the symbol of sacrificial service in the interest of humanity, was the basis for his design and upon it he placed a shield, the symbol of protection. The lamp, the symbol of light, also represents learning, to which the Colleges have been devoted to for over a century in the Province of Manitoba. The open book, representing instruction in the way of life and the bringing of understanding to the student, symbolizes knowledge in a general sense, although it may carry overtones of the Holy Scriptures in a more limited interpretation.

The motto, placed upon a scroll below, is the United College motto, her retained: Lux et Veritas Floreant (Let Light and Truth Flourish). The words catch the central import of the lamp (light) and the open book (truth), and express the hope that both may flourish (as the grape) in our country (the cross). Academic Dress

cademic dress originated in medieval times to provide warmth in the damp halls of learning. In its present form it includes a gown, hood (worn over the shoulders), and a cap or mortarboard. All universities have Adistinctive dress for each degree offered which explains the variety seen in the academic procession. University of Winnipeg academic dress conforms to the North American Intercollegiate Code. All graduates wear a black gown which varies according to the degree conferred. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed in front and is distinguished by its pointed sleeves. The master’s gown is designed to be worn either open or closed in front and has closed sleeves with an opening to free the hands. The front portion of the sleeve below the opening has a long semi- circular cut-out. Doctorate gowns also may be worn open or closed. They are faced with velvet.

The edging colour on the hood indicates the faculty in which a degree is conferred: Theology – red; Science – gold; Education – blue; Arts – white. The width of edging is determined by the degree: three inches for doctors; two inches for masters and bachelors. Hoods are lined in red with a white chevron.

Honorary doctors’ gowns are red in colour and are faced with white velvet. They are worn with red Tudor bonnets. The hood colour signifies the honorary degree: white for Laws; golden yellow for Science; admiralty blue for Letters; purple for Divinity. Hoods are lined in red and white, The University of Winnipeg colours. Fellows wear a gown of blue with neither hat nor hood. Members of the University’s senior administration wear gowns of varying colours. They do not wear hoods.

The Banner

he banner, prominently displaying the Coat of Arms, was unveiled in 1988. The volunteer effort of Pat Corner, Fran Farquhar, Susan Ferguson, and Sonya C. Wright took more than 1,000 hours. Over 400 meters Tof thread and 30 meters of wool material went into the project using traditional techniques such as quilting, embroidery, and crewel.
