Langara College Convocation 2017

L A N G A R A C O L L E G E | C O N V O C AT I O N 20 17

On behalf of the Musqueam people, the Musqueam Band Council welcomes the graduates, their families and friends to snəeyəɬ lelə, Langara College, on our unceded traditional territory.

Our lands have long been places of learning, and these convocation ceremonies take place on what was once a Musqueam village. We have honoured that connection by giving the College a name in our language, snəeyəɬ lelə, which means house of teachings. The word snəeyəɬ references the advice given to a child to build their character and guide them in to adulthood. We trust that your time at Langara has helped to do just that, and prepare you all for successful futures.

Our connection with Langara is also reflected in these ceremonies in a number of ways. The river grass at the base of the College’s coat of arms, printed on every diploma and certificate, refers to Musqueam, our name meaning people of the river grass. The platform party is led in to convocation hall by a Musqueam drummer, and the regalia worn by Langara’s President incorporates traditional Musqueam blanket patterns and wolves, as designed by renowned Musqueam artist Debra Sparrow. We value our continued partnership with Langara and the opportunity to share a small part of our culture with you on this important day.

Congratulations to all the graduates, including the growing number of First Nations students who will cross the platform in these ceremonies. Your accomplishment reflects your hard work and talent, and we hope that you continue to contribute to Langara, your communities, and society after you graduate. We wish you every success for your future.

Welcome to Langara College’s 51st Annual Convocation Ceremonies.

Convocation is the ceremonial calling together of the College community to confer credentials, recognize outstanding achievements, and honour the pursuit of higher learning. Steeped in tradition, it is a transformative event for graduands, a time to reminisce, celebrate, and look ahead to the future.

We wish all of our graduates every success and thank them for their contributions to Langara.

Academic Regalia It is traditional for graduands, faculty, staff, and distinguished guests to wear academic regalia at convocation ceremonies.

Academic regalia has its history in the academic costumes of 14th and 15th century universities in England, particularly Oxford and Cambridge.

• Post-Degree Diploma in Web and Mobile App Design and Development – Gold and Black Stole with Silver Cord • Post-Degree Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion Leadership – Purple and Black Stole with Silver Cord • Post-Degree Certificate in Nursing Leadership and Management – Purple and Black Stole with Silver Cord • All other credentials – Burgundy and Black Tippet with Silver Cord

The style of academic regalia reflects the type of credential and the institution that awards it. At Langara College, the President wears our presidential regalia, a green gown with black and gold accents. In 2015 the President’s regalia was altered by acclaimed Musqueam artist, Debra Sparrow, to include traditional Musqueam blanket patterns and two wolves, a nod to President Trotter’s Musqueam name, Takaya, which means wolf. Faculty, staff members, and distinguished guests wear regalia of the institute from which they obtained their highest credential.

Emeriti Awards CELEBR ATING DISTINGUISHED SERVICE

Langara is proud to announce the conferral of the 2017 Emeritus Awards.

Emeritus is an honourary title given to retired faculty or professional staff to recognize their outstanding contribution to teaching, service, or leadership in an organization.

ROBERT DYKSTR A – FACULT Y EMERITUS, JOURNALISM Rob Dykstra dedicated much of his professional life to teaching generations of journalists - more than 1,000 in total.

He retired in 2016 after 32 years of service at Langara as instructor, coordinator, and chair of the Langara Journalism Program, as well as chair of the Creative Arts Division. He oversaw the introduction of new courses, launched the Langara Journalism Review, and taught almost every course in the Journalism Program curriculum. Dykstra created opportunities to connect students with industry professionals; and facilitated student internships and entry-level jobs. Notably, he is a recipient of the Langara Leadership Excellence Award (2005-2006), and more recently, the Bill Good Award, in recognition for his significant contribution to the field of journalism.

GW YNETH LEWIS – FACULT Y EMERITA, CL ASSICAL STUDIES Gwyneth Lewis developed Langara classical studies into the rigorous and respected program of study it is today.

This program, unique among two-year institutions, has helped students prepare for and launch into careers in diverse fields. Throughout her career in the Department of History, Latin, and Political Science, and the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, Lewis exhibited an extraordinary dedication to her students, the program, the field of classical studies, and to Langara. Lewis changed the lives of countless students, helping them view history and the world from new perspectives. As a scholar, Lewis gave lectures at the Langara Lecture Series, the Classical Association of Canada, Pharos, and was involved in the leadership of several prominent classical associations, including the Vancouver chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America. She continues to pursue research in Greek epigraphy and Greek and Latin influence on English.

PETER PRONTZOS – FACULT Y EMERITUS, POLITICAL SCIENCE AND INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES Peter Prontzos’ contributions to the College span over 25 years and include teaching in both political science and interdisciplinary studies. He created new courses in political science, latin american studies, and peace and conflict studies, and contributed to an international education program in Greece, as well as educational tours to Greece with Langara’s Department of Continuing Studies. Prontzos served as coordinator of political science, and sat on the hiring committees for both the economics and journalism departments. He was a founding member of the “Transforming Langara Committee,” which promoted sustainability at the College. Prontzos was a perennial speaker at the Langara Community Lecture Series for two decades and presented at the Langara Employee Development Centre professional development seminars. Since retiring in 2015, he continues to lead tours to Greece with Continuing Studies.

THEODORE RYNIAK – FACULT Y EMERITUS, PHYSICS Born in Poland, and immigrating to Canada in 1928, Ryniak has an accomplished and varied career. After joining the Canadian Air Force as a wireless mechanic during the war, Ryniak attended U.B.C., completing his Masters of Education. Initially teaching elementary school, moving to high school and then adult education, Ryniak has been an inspiring physics teacher. He is an innovator who deeply influenced the high school physics curriculum, co‑writing a core text used in the curriculum. He was an inaugural member of Vancouver City College, which later became Langara College and as Department Head, Ryniak continuously upgraded the physics lab program, while designing courses for photography and journalism.

Langara’s Coat of Arms Langara’s official coat of arms was unveiled at a campus ceremony in January 2015 by His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada. Drawing inspiration from the Langara community, the new coat of arms has been designed to reflect Langara’s values of learning and discovery, and includes elements of the surrounding community. It is used to represent the College at ceremonial occasions.

The coat of arms features a strong X shape, symbolizing the college as a crossroads where students from varied backgrounds meet and then follow various life paths. It also alludes to the Langara campus, which features angular buildings surrounded by green space. The book indicates that Langara is an educational body, and the cherry blossoms are a feature of Vancouver in the spring.

The pantheon represents imagination, achievement and the natural world. The use of gold stars on green refers to the arms of the Spanish admiral Juan de Langara y Huarte, for whom the College was named. The mariner’s compass also alludes to the early Spanish explorers, as well as the college’s role in guiding its students.

The falcon is the mascot of the college’s intercollegiate sports teams. The binary code on their collars (meaning “L” and “C” for Langara College) honours the college’s commitment to innovation in instructional information technology. The base of river grass represents the location of the college’s campus in the traditional territory of the Musqueam Nation, “Musqueam” meaning “people of the river grass”. In January of 2016 the Musqueam gave Langara the name snəw ̓eyəɬ lelə which means house of teachings.

The Latin phrase at the base means “Knowledge is freedom”.
