Vancouver Island University’s motto, Discoveries in Education, was adopted in 1969 when the institution, known then as Malaspina College, was first inaugurated. 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 in which VIU acknowledges the achievements, successes, exploration, and convocation p rdiscovery o g r a m | ofj a each n u a r ygraduating 29 & 30, 2015student. 1 Message from the Chancellor

I honour the Coast Salish peoples on whose ancestral lands this great University does its work. I also honour and congratulate the VIU graduates of January 2015, and recognize the work it has taken for you to reach this point in your lives – it’s quite an achievement!

Graduates, you are leaving the University in a time of great change and a time of great opportunity. Events and changes happening in the world, and to Mother Earth, are causing us to make a collective shift of consciousness, from seeing the world through the lens of self to understanding that we are all connected. Compassion is needed so that we can co-operate with each other to address the serious issues facing our world today. Your education at VIU has given you the skills and abilities to embrace this challenge, with confidence and optimism.

I hope that you will seek out the opportunity to put your education to work to contribute to the new story of reconciliation that is unfolding in our relationship with Indigenous Peoples. Outdated colonial doctrines are being challenged, inspired by new ways of living together. Your VIU education has prepared you to be a part of this story. It has introduced you to valuing different perspectives, cultures and worldviews; it has also exposed you to ancient Snuneymuxw laws and legal orders, which are entwined in ceremony. Take your VIU experiences and contribute to creating a more just and peaceful society that promotes unity by celebrating diversity.

I would also like to take a moment to remember and appreciate all who have made this possible, especially your friends and families – their love and dreams for you have encouraged you to achieve your educational goals.

I extend our gratitude to Dr. Ralph Nilson, the Board and Senate for their inspiring dream of a multi-cultural learning environment; removing barriers to education through programs such as the Tuition Waiver for Youth in Care; welcoming international students; establishing a Centre for Pre-Confederation Treaties and Reconciliation and a Shqwi qwal for Indigenous Dialogue; and pursuing academic excellence. They have designed a path so that our talents and diverse ways of understanding the world can make important contributions to our collective future. VIU's partners in education, community leaders, alumni, donors and colleagues around the world have created capacity and connection through positive collaborations.

Graduates, know that the world changes one person at a time, but that change becomes increasingly easier the more there are who change. You are the change – each one of you. Use the gift of education you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you. Now, leave here and change the course of history.

Louise Mandell, Q.C.

Chancellor
