4 THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Weyt-k, Weyt-kp Congratulations, graduates of 2021! You have surmounted all manner of challenges this year to gain the skills you need for your future. I know many of you have experienced difficulties and responsibilities, perhaps touching your family, your friends, or your community. Life has not been the same. Most people have suffered restrictions and privations. Yet you have succeeded in your studies, and to do so, you demonstrated flexibility, adaptability and perseverance during the pandemic. My hope and wish for you is that your accomplishment brings you justified pride and confidence for your future. I have frequently told my mother’s story: she advanced her education by taking correspondence courses when she was serving in the military during and after the Second World War. She was the first in her family to graduate from university, which changed her life and her children’s lives (including my own) forever. My mother and father turned their studies in English and History into careers in journalism and, in my mother’s case, as a paralegal professional running a law office. Education changes lives. And it is the best preparation for an always uncertain future. When you made the choice to enrol at TRU, you chose to take control of your future. With determination and the support of family, friends, faculty and staff, you have gained knowledge and skills in your area of study and have found your path to success. You also became part of the TRU family. You made friends, some that will last your lifetime. I encourage you to stay in touch with your alma mater and continue to build meaningful and lifelong connections with TRU alumni. Please remain inquisitive, caring and open to others. These are keys to success in life. At TRU we are guided by the idea that we are all related and interconnected with nature, each other, and all things (the idea of Kw’seltktnéws). I hope you have felt a sense of belonging during your time with TRU—and I hope you continue to feel connected wherever you may go. Congratulations, graduates! It is an honour on behalf of TRU to Brett Fairbairn wish you all the best. President and Vice-Chancellor

Brett Fairbairn is TRU’s fourth president and vice-chancellor. An alumnus of the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Oxford, Brett spent 30 years at the University of Saskatchewan in teaching and leadership positions before arriving at TRU in December 2018. He is a passionate advocate for students and higher education. 2021 SPRING CONVOCATION 5 COAT OF ARMS Granted by Robert Douglas Watt, fish as food and for recreation in their farming and ranching in the region— Chief Herald of Canada, on April 1, communities and the community past and present.

THE FLAG OF TRU The sun that appears on TRU’s flag is taken from the centre of the coat of arms. The blue field refers to the brilliant skies, lakes and rivers in the region. The sun is a symbol of light and learning. It is surrounded by a wavy circle that represents the sacred circle of life, often a symbol in Indigenous beliefs.

2021 SPRING CONVOCATION 7 TRADITIONAL SECWÉPEMC TERRITORY TRU’s Kamloops and Williams Lake campuses are situated on traditional and unceded Secwépemc territory. There are approximately 7,000 Secwépemc people in the territory, which spans 180,000 square kilometres through the Interior plateau of south central British Columbia. The boundaries are marked by mountain ranges, grasslands and river valleys around the Fraser, and North and South Thompson rivers.

TRU has one of the largest Indigenous student populations among BC post-secondary institutions, with more than 2,000 students (about 10 percent), representing 16 First Nation and Indigenous peoples.

Coyote The coyote sculpture created by artist John McEwen watches over campus from the top of the Brown Family House of Learning. Symbolizing the university’s commitment to realizing potential, the sculpture faces toward the rising sun. It is made from bent and rolled weathered steel stars and suggests an energy or imagination of the earth and the sky.

8 THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY Territorial marker The deep relationship between the Secwépemc people and the traditional lands on which TRU resides is commemorated on campus with an Indigenous territorial marker. Created by Secwépemc artists Rod and Ron Tomma and Mike Peters, the glossy stone territorial marker was installed in the northern entrance to Old Main. Territorial markers hold great meaning for the Secwépemc people. They are significant land forms and rocks that can represent places of mythological happenings or designated boundaries. They often include mythological beings or animals of traditional significance, such as the coyote. TRU’s territorial marker is made from a rare form of quartz and is adorned with pictographs.

2021 SPRING CONVOCATION 9 10 THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC PROCESSION Convocation ceremonies begin with an academic procession of official representatives, faculty and students dressed in academic regalia. This colourful event represents the rich cultural and historical traditions of universities.

Academic Regalia Distinctive academic costume has been worn in universities since their inception some 1,000 years ago. Until relatively recently, the basic items—gown, hood and mortarboard—were worn as a part of the everyday life of university. Now largely symbolic, the costume indicates through its colours, trim and lining, the degree and the university giving the award. Blue and sage, TRU’s official colours, are featured on many of the academic costumes.

The drummers have several different tribal affiliations: Stoney, Sioux, Blood, Secwépemc, Syilx, Dakelh, Ts’ilhqot’in and Sto:lo First Nations.

Travis especially enjoyed the challenge of welding, perfecting his technique, and learning the ins-and-outs of the trade. Although he wasn’t able to join student clubs or volunteer on-campus due to the pandemic, he always made an effort to help out his classmates whenever possible. He is very grateful for his wife and would like to thank her for all her support and hard work in taking care of their two young children, which allowed him to focus and succeed in his studies. Travis is already working in his field, and he is thankful to the team at TRU for their help in connecting him with job prospects before graduation.

Congratulations on achieving this life-changing milestone. The final stretch may have been far from traditional, but your accomplishment is very real. Your future is wide open. Today, the TRU Foundation board, staff and volunteers celebrate your current and future success. Most importantly, we celebrate your happiness. We know your TRU education will take you far and help you become the best possible version of yourself. As you move forward on your next journey, reflect on the hurdles you overcame. Remember everyone who has supported you and had an impact on your life. As cliché as it sounds, we hope you find ways of making the world a better place. The TRU Foundation was created to help students overcome some of the obstacles they face in pursuit of education. As a non-profit society, we raise money to provide financial support and scholarships to more than 1,000 students every year. Generations of alumni have generously supported students, and we are immensely grateful for their involvement. Just last summer, TRU alumni came together to fund bursaries for incoming TRU students. There are many opportunities to volunteer with the TRU Foundation and see philanthropy in action. One day down the road, we hope you consider students when making decisions about your own charitable giving. Helping students reach for their dreams is rewarding, and no gift is too small to make a difference.
