Ubc-President-Installation-Address.Pdf
Installation Address of Professor Arvind Gupta as Thirteenth President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of British Columbia September 12, 2014 *Check against delivery Page 1 of 11 Your Honour, Minister Fast, Minister Virk, Deputy Mayor Reimer, Elder Grant, Distinguished platform party, fellow faculty, students, staff, alumni, friends and family – thank you. This is actually my second installation as President of UBC. On my first day, at the beginning of July, the Musqueam people recognized me with a blanketing ceremony. In a flourish of eagle down, chants and dancing, they welcomed me to this, the unceded land of their ancestors. I couldn’t be more grateful. We are all blessed to be here on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish people. As President, I will do everything I can to ensure that UBC is and remains a trusted partner and a good neighbour to the Musqueam people. You might take that as an overarching theme for the day – the responsibilities that we all share as a community of elders and scholars, striving to excel in a spirit of integrity, diversity, inclusiveness and mutual respect. I trace my own sense of citizenship to my upbringing. I’m from Timmins. I was born in India, but I grew up in the hard, beautiful country of the Canadian Shield, at a time when it was common practice to bring home strangers off the street, merely because they needed a meal and a bed. Well, maybe it wasn’t that common. Certainly, the first time I brought a hungry vagrant to my home in Toronto, my startled family found it quite unusual. -
