Spring Convocation 2018 June 7 & 8 Dear Graduand

Spring Convocation 2018 june 7 & 8 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,

10 SPRING CONVOCATION 2018 OKANAGAN SONG

ałi kwu_swiwi-numtax, ałi kwu_suknaqinx, We are beautiful, Because we are Okanagan,

ałi axa/ L/tmxwula/xw 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)
