Through your hard work, I hope you have found a path toward a life filled with purpose and success as defined by you.

From the first time you stepped onto campus to your final steps across the convocation stage, I hope your CapU experience has given you a sense of pride in knowing you’re ready to go forward in the world. I urge you to stay curious and be creative. Curiosity can inspire imaginative approaches in everything you do. And in graduating, you are joining a network of alumni who are doing just that.

JULIMEI GERMIABachelor of Tourism Management

Julimei Germia found her way to Capilano University after working at a local hotel, where she wanted to learn more about the hospitality industry. Today, she graduates with a Bachelor of Tourism Management degree with a hotel and resort concentration.

Attending CapU has been a life-changing experience for Germia. Through the guidance of her instructors and her own hard work, Germia grew from a shy person who wouldn’t say a word in class to become a leader in her program and an eager participant at industry and networking events.

In 2019, she was awarded the Partners in Tourism Student Recognition award and scholarship, which recognizes students who have shown drive, passion, industry experience and an academic achievement in their tourism studies.

Currently, Germia is a front desk agent at Hotel Le Soleil. Her ambitions include further advancing her professional career in hotel management. To support this goal, she is pursuing a certificate in human resources, with the aim of helping to guide her work environments to become communities where everyone feels respected and at home.

STUDENT SPEAKERS

CHANCELLOR DAVID FUNG

2016–2020

As the third chancellor of Capilano University, David Fung has embraced his role with intelligence, dignity and integrity. Chancellor Fung’s relationship with the University began as a donor almost 20 years ago. Since that time, he has seen Capilano University develop through significant changes and milestones, including the celebration of its 50th anniversary.

David Fung has made an indelible impact on the University. His unwavering belief that Capilano U has a significant contribution to make in offering accessible, enriched learning experiences has inspired our campuses and communities. His confidence in CapU alumni and the education they have received is matched by his own good example. In 2014, David Fung was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, from the University to recognize his significant community contributions locally, nationally and internationally.

Chancellor Fung’s career success, academic achievements and entrepreneurial journey all distinguish a life of extraordinary experiences and generosity. By bringing government, business and community leaders together, he has successfully expanded the circle of support for CapU to benefit students through increased services, supports, bursaries and scholarships. As we near the end of his four years as chancellor, it is with the deepest gratitude that we thank David Fung for his stewardship of Capilano University, and like a circle, may our connection with him be unbroken, and only grow stronger over the years.

2020 CONVOCATION 76 2020 CONVOCATION

REGALIAChancellor and vice-chancellor

Capilano University’s chancellor and vice-chancellor robes are based on traditional academic ceremonial gowns.

The chancellor’s gown is black brocade with a woven dogwood flower motif, trimmed in gold brocade and edged with royal blue silk trim. The dogwood is British Columbia’s official flower. The four gold bands on both the upper and lower gothic sleeves represent Capilano University’s four decades as a college before becoming a university.

The vice-chancellor’s robes are in the same black brocade with the dogwood motif, trimmed in silver brocade and edged with royal blue silk.

The robes were designed by Jane Still from CapU’s Costuming for Stage and Screen program in the School of Motion Picture Arts. They were built by Deborah Gyug, a master of costume construction.

THE COAT OF ARMS

SUPPORTERS

A bear in blue with light blue wings is depicted on each side of the shield. Each bear stands on a rocky base.

In local First Nations mythology, bears are symbols of strength and are a link between the natural and supernatural realms. In medieval bestiaries, bears were said to give shape to their own young; therefore, bears represent the ‘forming’ of the young— a metaphor for education. The wings refer to the idea of aspiration and can allude to ravens, another local creature immortalized in First Nations mythology, associated with intelligence and creativity. The rocky base refers to the nearby Coast Mountains, which are a dramatic aspect of the local landscape.

CREST

Two books with blue binding and white pages are stacked with their bottom edges visible. On either side are several maple leaves and dogwood flowers, all in white. This is set on a wreath of twisted cloth in white, light blue and blue.

The books are a traditional symbol of education and the arrangement is inspired by the corporate emblem used when we were Capilano College. The maple leaves and dogwood flowers make reference to the fact that the University is located in British Columbia, Canada.

ARMS

The main part of the shield is white, depicting a salmon. Salmon are an important feature of local wildlife and are shown here in the artistic style of the original inhabitants of the North Shore area. The waves at the bottom of the shield indicate the University’s location near the Pacific Ocean and the top section represents the nearby Coast Mountains.

MACE

The mace depicts the authority vested in the University to grant degrees and also incorporates the history and tradition that surrounds both the territory near our regional campuses and the vision of Capilano University.

The mace’s design portrays the unique territorial qualities of our region, which extends from Deep Cove to Mt. Currie to Earls Cove on the Sunshine Coast. These qualities include reference to the animal world, to the landscape, to directional symbolism and to the human element. The mace is carved from yew, which is a natural wood found in our region.

Responsibilities for bearing the mace originated in the office of the Bedellus, or Beadle, and date back to the University of Glasgow, which was founded in 1451.

The function of the Bedellus was to keep the students in order, and on the days of public functions, he arranged the seats for dignitaries.

The duties of the Bedellus have varied greatly over the centuries. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the incumbent was required to regulate bonfire settings and purchase university supplies. Officially, the Bedellus is responsible for administration of the university’s facilities.

The most prominent role of the Bedellus was and continues to be on ceremonial occasions, leading the academic procession and carrying the university mace. In 2020, our ceremonial mace will be carried by Stephen Williams, vice-chair of the Capilano University Senate.

LEGACY CANOE

In celebration of our 50th anniversary, Capilano University commissioned Squamish Nation master carver Ses siyam (Ray Natraoro) to build a traditional Coast Salish canoe as a legacy for future generations and a symbol of the University’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.

The 30-foot-long seaworthy canoe, named Skw’cháys in the Squamish Nation language, was carved at the North Vancouver campus in the winter of 2019, giving students, employees and the community the unique opportunity to witness the transformation from tree to canoe, and learn first-hand about Coast Salish traditions and culture.

The canoe is present at Convocation as a physical reminder of our students’ journey at CapU and for all the journeys they will take in the future.

HOW CAPILANO UNIVERSITY GOT ITS NAME

In 1968, residents of the North Shore submitted names for the newly formed regional college operating on the grounds of West Vancouver Secondary School. The name Capilano was selected to honour Chief Joe Capilano, a well-known Coast Salish carver and spokesperson on history and culture and an advocate for education.

Born in 1850, Chief Capilano was a respected leader and chief of the Squamish Nation (Skwxwú7mesh). Skwxwú7mesh is a reference to ‘people of the sacred water,’ as the Squamish River was well-known for its

curative qualities. Capilano University’s North Vancouver campus sits on Skwxwú7mesh territory, which encompasses parts of the Lower Mainland and Sea-to-Sky Corridor.

In 1906, Chief Capilano led a delegation of B.C. chiefs to England and met with King Edward VII. While there, he was introduced to Canadian poet Pauline Johnson. They became good friends and after she moved to B.C.’s West Coast, Chief Capilano shared his legends, which she later recounted in her books and poetry.

Capilano University was named after Chief Joe Capilano of the Squamish Nation. Photo (taken in 1906) courtesy of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives.

OUR TRADITIONS

Page 6: CONVOCATION · winter convocation! Congratulations to all of our graduates for reaching this triumphant milestone. Convocation is an opportunity to celebrate your accomplishments

2020 CONVOCATION 98 2020 CONVOCATION

ACADEMIC DRESS

The cap and gown are traditional regalia each university student dons to mark the milestone of their achievements.

WHY A CAP AND GOWN?

Academic regalia dates back to medieval times when university studies were often held in cold, unheated churches and the robes were worn for warmth.

The monks would often have their heads shaved in the traditional tonsure (shaved head for humility). Therefore, the hoods

were necessary for warmth as well. The hoods were later replaced by skullcaps, which we now know as our classic mortarboard. In the 19th century, the hoods and robes began to take on various colours and styles to indicate level and area of study.

Capilano University hoods are worn by bachelor’s degree graduates and have CapU’s five faculty colours on satin lining along with the University’s primary brand colour, cyan blue, on the trim. These hoods are worn by all bachelor’s degree graduates, regardless of program. The stoles are worn

by diploma or certificate graduates and they feature CapU’s logo. All hoods and stoles are worn over the traditional black gown and are accompanied by a classic mortarboard with tassel.

GONFALONS

Gonfalons are banners suspended on a crossbar. They are one of the traditional components of academic ceremonies that lend colour and dignity to processions and stages. At Capilano University, gonfalons are used in the Convocation ceremonies and represent each of the University’s five faculties: Faculty of Arts & Sciences (teal), Faculty of Business & Professional Studies (dark blue), Faculty of Education, Health & Human Development (orange), Faculty of Fine & Applied Arts (red) and Faculty of Global & Community Studies (light green).

The gonfalons are carried by “gonfaloniers.” The gonfaloniers are students who have been selected by their respective faculties for their outstanding academic accomplishments.

RECEPTION

You are invited to a reception in the Birch Building cafeteria following the ceremony.

Light refreshments will be served, with music provided by Pearl Jig.

SERVICES AVAILABLE

In the main floor of the Birch Building and Centre for Sport & Wellness concourse, you will find a number of services, including:

■ Flowers■ Convocation apparel—including a 2020 CapU grad T-shirt

■ Artona portrait studio■ CapU program information booths

PHOTOGRAPHY

Artona is on campus today to take pictures of the graduates. A photographer will take one portrait photo before each graduate walks onstage. The photographer will then take a second photo of each graduate with their program representative.

We ask that guests remain in their seats. Relax, enjoy the ceremony and let the professionals capture these important moments for you.

Following the ceremony, you will have the opportunity to take professional photographs with your friends and family in the Artona booth in the upper cafeteria.
