History of Brock University

Opened in 1964, Brock University is named for Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, who died in battle at nearby Queenston Heights in the War of 1812. Brock’s final words were said to have been “Push on, my brave fellows!” A Latin translation of this is “Surgite!” — which is Brock University’s motto.

The seeds of the University were sown long before the doors first opened. Brock’s story is about a community that rose up and built the institution it wanted for its future.

In the late 1950s, there was growing public discussion about how Niagara should have its own university. The grassroots sentiment became a movement in 1957 when the Allanburg Women’s Institute asked the Ontario government to consider opening a university in the region.

By fall 1962, the Brock Founders Committee was incorporated. They received approval to create a new university, then developed an administrative and academic plan. Then they began raising money.

After years of meetings and fundraising, Brock opened in September 1964. It had 127 students in a refurbished refrigeration factory at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment in St. Catharines. In 1966, the landmark Brock Tower was completed, and Faculties began moving “up the hill” to the University’s permanent home atop the Niagara Escarpment.

For the next 30 years, Brock sent thousands of graduates on to successful careers. It built a name for its personal quality of teaching afforded by attentive faculty and controlled class sizes. As the new millennium dawned, enrolment soared. Brock transformed from an undergraduate institute to a comprehensive University with flourishing research, graduate and doctoral programs.

The campus steadily expanded to keep pace with the demand for a Brock education with the construction of world-class research labs, a landmark fine arts complex, an international students’ centre and a new research and innovation hub.

Brock serves its community as a cultural, academic and recreational centre, bringing excellent facilities to the people who created the University all those years ago. We are committed to building our community and fostering an environment that serves our students and our neighbours.

The modern university is the lineal descendant of the university of the Middle Ages. Its purposes and organization, even much of its ceremonial role, are medieval in origin.

Today’s ceremony stems from the medieval tradition. The procession of the guild of teachers, whose solemn assembly, or Convocation, is the modern equivalent of the full congregation of all Faculties, is followed by the Chancellor and the Mace, the symbol of the University’s corporate authority. The academic gowns, hoods and caps declare in their various designs and colours the academic qualifications of the faculty. The citations and presentations by the faculty to the Chancellor attest to the Chancellor and to society the degree of proficiency attained by the students of the University.

The Chancellor confers upon the students the appropriate degree. It is the act, not a certificate, which constitutes the validity of the degree bestowed. The statement “I admit you” and the placing of the students’ hands within those of the Chancellor and his associates, bind the students to the University. They receive what the University has been and what it is today. The graduates are what the University hopes to be.


The University FlagOur flag is the Banner of Arms of the Grant of Arms to Brock University, granted on March 17, 1965. The main feature on the flag is a gold-winged eagle with the book of learning on its breast. Yellow and red are colours associated with academic institutions and the eagle was once thought to be the bird that flew the highest and was the wisest.

The top the flag includes the maple leaf, representing Canada; a trillium representing Ontario and a shell (escallop)-a symbol long associated with the Lincoln-Welland Regiment and the County of Welland. The flag, donated by the members of Brock’s 1994 Quarter Century Club, stands on the stage for each Convocation ceremony and is flown daily on campus.

The University MaceMaces were originally specialized war clubs, made of metal or garnished with metal spikes used by knights or other warriors.

This functional weapon evolved into a symbolic emblem of legislative and civic authority used by cities and towns and, ultimately, by parliament. Many universities have decorated maces as symbols of their corporate identity and authority.

Brock was presented with its mace in 1992 as a gift from the people of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the birthplace of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock.

It is made of sterling silver and incorporates the Guernsey seal; the University crest; a crown from the Constable’s baton; flames of learning from the University’s coat of arms, a maple leaf, scallop shell and Trillium flower, which are symbols of the University; and a button from the uniform of Brock’s 49th regiment.

A Warm Welcome From Brock University’s Aboriginal Education CouncilWe at Brock University would like to acknowledge and honour the ancestors of those on whose traditional lands we gather today. Brock University is located on the shared lands of the Original Peoples, which became known as the traditional beaver hunting grounds. The Aboriginal Education Council and Brock University have worked collaboratively to keep the importance of our shared history, friendship and future relationships in our minds and hearts. We would like to recognize the successes of our Indigenous graduates and all those graduating today.

The Eagle FeatherDuring Brock University Convocation ceremonies, Chancellor Shirley Cheechoo, a member of the Cree nation, wears a headdress made by her mother, and an eagle feather. Eagles are considered sacred within many Indigenous traditions. They fly higher and see better than any other bird, and represent honesty, truth, strength, courage, wisdom, power and freedom.

Eagles are believed to have a special connection to Creator, and at Convocation, the feather is used to call upon the Creator and to command respect for the ceremony.

Beta Gamma SigmaBeta Gamma Sigma is the honour society serving business programs accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB International. Brock received accreditation to AACSB in 2003, joining top international business schools, and in 2004 was admitted into Beta Gamma Sigma.

Membership in this honours society is offered only to the best business and accounting students: undergraduates completing third year in the top 10 percent of their class and graduates ranking in the top 10 per cent of their undergraduate programs or top 20 per cent of their master’s program.

Campus Wide Co-Curriculum The Campus-Wide Co-Curriculum is a program designed to enhance the Brock student experience through the completion of activities and opportunities within 10 different co-curricular domains.

By completing the Campus-Wide Co-Curriculum, a student has made a meaningful investment in their holistic development and has demonstrated a significant commitment to continuous learning and personal growth. Students who complete the program are eligible to be inducted into the Isaac Brock Insignia Circle, a distinguished society of current students and alumni who are highly engaged in the Brock experience.

This distinction is acknowledged by a red cord worn by the graduand.


Academic RegaliaAcademic regalia at Convocation is steeped in tradition. All participants wear gowns, which are reminiscent of the robes worn by monks or clergy in medieval times. Hoods, worn draped over the shoulders and back, are derivatives of the simple coverings worn by people of all classes to keep their heads warm in an inhospitable climate.

The Chancellor’s gown is made from aegean blue silk and trimmed with gold lace. It is worn with a round velvet cap with a gold tassel. The Vice-Chancellor’s gown is similar, but trimmed with silver. The University coat-of-arms is embroidered on the front facing of each gown. Honorary doctors wear gowns made of blue material with gold facings down the front and on each sleeve.

Faculty members wear the academic regalia appropriate to their degrees. Most doctoral gowns are more than one colour and many have three horizontal bars of velvet on each sleeve. Hoods signify the degrees and institutions from which they were received. Since Brock has faculty who graduated from scores of different universities, the Convocation procession is dramatic and colourful.

Brock’s graduates wear aegean blue gowns and, after being admitted to their degrees, don distinctive hoods which identify them as graduates of our University. Made of scarlet viyella, the hoods are lined with navy blue and gold material. Three bars of navy blue are set against the gold in a manner that suggests a dress uniform that might have been worn by General Brock. The edge of each hood is trimmed with velvet in the appropriate colour for the degree:

I welcome you to Convocation to celebrate all the achievements that have brought you here and that you will continue to accomplish in the years ahead.

Graduation is one of the most memorable events in our lives, because it marks the end of a long journey. It tells you and your families that you are now prepared to begin another journey to achieve future goals.

It is my turn to thank you. I have learned from you and you have made me a better person. I have learned during my time as Brock Chancellor that change only happens when grassroots people like yourselves get involved, get engaged and come together to demand change.

On your own path of life, you will encounter challenges and obstacles, but if you respect advice from family, mentors and elders, together you can overcome anything.

Sometimes we forget to thank those people closest to us. Do not forget about these people who sacrificed and did everything for you to be where you are today.

Your graduation is an important day in their lives too, because they know that they did something right.

And so I say — congratulations to all the graduates. And congratulations to all your parents, too, for work well done.

Miigwetch, it’s been a wonderful journey, and best wishes goes to your next Chancellor, Hilary Pearson.

It is my privilege, on behalf of the faculty and staff at Brock University, to extend congratulations to the Class of 2020. As well, may I extend the University’s sincere thanks to the special guests who are part of this year’s unique celebration of academic achievement.

Brock is proud of our graduates, and you will find that your Brock degree and experience will have prepared you for future success. You have worked hard to earn your degree and you should be proud of your accomplishments. You have already demonstrated the capacity and resiliency core to your future achievements.

As you follow your life’s path, you will continue to discover the opportunities that exist for Brock graduates in a society that, more than ever before, needs a much higher proportion of its citizenry to have a university-level education. I encourage you to accept the responsibilities and opportunities that come with making a difference in today’s world, and to serve society well by being innovators and leaders, both in your career and through your personal pursuits.

I also thank you for the contributions you have made to the success of the University and to our strong spirit of community. As one of more than 105,000 Brock University alumni, you will always remain an important part of the Brock family and a member of the institution’s future.
