Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association
Wilfrid Laurier UniversityAlumni Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association
Wilfrid Laurier UniversityAlumni Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association
Wilfrid Laurier UniversityAlumni Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association
Wilfrid Laurier UniversityAlumni Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association
Wilfrid Laurier UniversityAlumni Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association
Wilfrid Laurier UniversityAlumni Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees

and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the

983091983091
Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association
Wilfrid Laurier UniversityAlumni Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the

a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university

parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University
is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act
The bachelorrsquos degree is awarded at the honours and general level An honours degree program
emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep knowledge of the studentrsquos chosen honours subject
including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees

Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community Since their beginnings
in the Middle Ages universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant degrees to their
students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
which has trained them
The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from the
Chancellor or the President or other conferring officers of the university
As an outward sign of his or her new state the student wears a hood Each degree within
a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the studentrsquos status may be
recognizedmdashindeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university
In order to recognize the nature of this event for the students involved the university asks that
parents and friends of the students participating in this ceremony withhold their applause until all
members being admitted to each degree have left the dais Students are asked to remain in their
seats while other graduates receive their degrees
The Academic Degrees

completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment In Canada the three stages in higher
education are represented by the degrees of bachelor master and doctor Wilfrid Laurier University

including both skill at applying the subject and appreciation of its relation to general knowledge
and society A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth understandingof the studentrsquos major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other fields Completion of
an honours degree normally takes four years and a general degree three years
The masterrsquos degree is the second degree in higher education Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area Most
course work is within the field of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally required
Some masterrsquos degrees provide professional qualifications The masterrsquos degree usually requires
one or two years of study after a bachelorrsquos degree
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university Candidates for the
degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized field of knowledge The capstone
of the degree is the doctoral dissertation an extended work based upon independent research The
dissertation demonstrates the candidatersquos command of both the subject matter and the exactingmethods of scholarship and makes an original contribution to knowledge

The Marshalrsquos BatonDr Fred Binding a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 983091983090 years retired in
July 983090983088983088983091 He had served as the university marshal for ten years Sadly Dr Binding died inAugust 983090983088983088983091 In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies artist Rex Lingwood
was commissioned to create a marshalrsquos baton
In the baton the artist incorporates a range of visual references that relate to the graduation
ceremony both directly and symbolically In keeping with the nature of the ceremony some
of the forms are traditionally associated with ceremonial staffs and the batonrsquos design echoes
the elaborate theatricality of the event and the flair brought to the occasion by Dr Fred Binding
The ends may be read as abstracted figure forms wrapped in the academic gown and hood
with details in the university colours purple and gold These forms also read as plant buds
symbolizing the life stage of the graduates The Greek alphabet is inset into an internal side
surface in the shaft of the baton This is a reference to the interests of Dr Fred Binding It
also acknowledges that language is at the core of university education and that the Greeklanguage has particular importance in western culture
The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the
Department of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retireesrsquo Association
