PROCEDURE FOR SELECTING HONORARY GRADUANDS Nominations of distinguished persons for honorary degrees are accepted from both the University community and the general public. The Senate Committee on Honorary Degrees assesses the nominations using specific criteria which include distinguished achievement in scholarship, the arts or public service. Only those nominations which, in the opinion of the committee, meet the criteria for an honorary degree are forwarded to Senate, accompanied by comments from the committee, background information and letters of support. In order for Senate to recommend the conferring of an honorary degree, at least twothirds of the votes must be in the affirmative.

HONORARY DEGREE Few Canadians have made such an impact on visual arts in this country as the Honourable Patricia Bovey. Senator Bovey, appointed to her present position by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2016, is the first art historian and museologist to be appointed to the Senate.

A native Winnipegger, over her more than 45-year career in the fine arts, Senator Bovey has revitalized galleries and community arts organizations, promoted Canadian artists and helped guide cultural policy at both national and provincial levels.

Senator Bovey has served on many national committees including as Deputy-Chair of the Senate’s Transport and Communications Committee, its Social Affairs, Science and Technology Committee, and the Special Senate Committee on the Arctic.

Growing up in a family that valued art and history, Senator Bovey became a curator of traditional art at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1970 before heading west to B.C. As director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria from 1980 to 1999, Ms. Bovey turned it into a major tourist destination that was largely self-sufficient—an incredible feat for a Canadian art gallery. She guided the direction of Canada’s best-known arts organizations, serving on the boards of the National Gallery of Canada (2005-2009) and the Canada Council for the Arts (1990-1993).

Locally, Senator Bovey changed the landscape of fine art in Winnipeg as director of the Winnipeg Art Gallery (1999-2004) and as a founder of St. Boniface Hospital’s Buhler Gallery, serving as its director and curator (2007-2016). Ms. Bovey was also a member of the Public Art Committee of the City of Winnipeg (2003-2007) and the Mayor’s Task Force on Public Art (2002-2003).

At UM, Senator Bovey established post-secondary programs, led in governing the University of Manitoba on the Board of Governors (2007-2016, Chair 2013-2016), and was a dedicated member of the President’s Campaign Team for the Front and Centre campaign.

Among her many accolades and honours, Senator Bovey is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (UK), and a Fellow of the Canadian Museums Association. She received the Canada 125 Medal, the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal, was Winnipeg’s 2002 Woman of Distinction for the Arts, and received the Canadian Museums’ Association Distinguished Service Award, and the Winnipeg Arts Council’s 2015 Making a Difference Award.

An independent Senator, Senator Bovey is arguably Canada’s leading government advocate for the visual arts. She has spoken in the Chamber about the impact of the arts, especially on health and crime prevention and has stated her goal is to ensure the voice of arts and culture is heard in the Senate and in every sector of our society.

The University of Manitoba is proud to recognize Senator Bovey for her work advocating for the visual arts by bestowing upon her its highest honour, a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

HONORARY DEGREE The work of Ms. Diana DeLaronde-Colombe demonstrates the impact one person can have on a community. Today, she is being recognized for her dedication and commitment to Manitoba’s northern communities and their people, addressing issues such as food security, access to health care, job training, transportation, and housing.

In 2001, wanting to make an impact in her community of Wabowden, Manitoba, Ms. DeLaronde-Colombe created the community development office. She quickly began facilitating programs, such as Truck Driver Training, to help others find employment.

She soon realized, however, that if she brought more communities together, their collective voice would ring louder in the ears of funders and they could achieve greater goals. So she brought together Councillors and other leaders from six communities along the rail line, from Ilford to Cormorant, and they created the Bayline Regional Roundtable.

In this new enterprise, Ms. DeLaronde-Colombe gave herself the title of “Animator” because that is how she views her role in all endeavours: as someone there to empower and impassion others. And she did. And she does.

DIANA DELARONDECOLOMBE

Solving food security issues in Northern communities had troubled many before her, yet she saw an elegant and sustainable path forward. Following her vision, the Roundtable sought and received funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada and other funders, which facilitated the purchase of a shipment of freezers to store the fish and meat hunted along with bulk food purchases. These freezers were provided to community members at cost, and the repayments were used to purchase even more freezers. To further help people maintain healthy diets, she facilitated programming that taught people how to garden, raise poultry and then preserve and can their food.

She championed this Northern Foods Initiative, and it led to the development of the Manitoba Food Charter, which then grew to become Food Matters Manitoba. Today, the legacy of her original project is astounding: in its modern form, it helps 80 per cent of Manitoban communities. Recognizing this impact, in 2007 she received the Capturing Opportunities-Outstanding Community Leadership Award from Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Initiatives.

Ms. DeLaronde-Colombe is also active in the community in other ways, fundraising and helping start new recreational opportunities for children and youth. Indeed, in 2007, after receiving the Women’s World Summit Foundation Prize for Women’s Creativity in Rural Life from an international NGO (the first Canadian to earn such an honour), she used her prize money to purchase playground equipment for children in Wabowden. And last year, she led a fundraising campaign which helped the local musicians purchase audio equipment that has allowed them to continue to benefit the community.

“Anything that is going to empower someone else to make a difference, is where I will put my energy,” she says.

Ms. Diana DeLaronde-Colombe is a compassionate leader who always acts in the interests of others. And today the University of Manitoba is honoured to celebrate her creativity and commitment to improving the lives of countless Manitobans by awarding a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA GRADUATE STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION TEACHING AWARD Dr. Pingzhao Hu is a committed educator whose high standards of teaching and research inspire young scholars.

Whether providing valuable insight within the lab or pivoting in response to a pandemic, his students describe him as a phenomenal supervisor who is humble, hardworking and confident in his unwavering commitment to their academic success.

Pursuing academia around the globe and earning three master’s degrees in mathematical geology, quantitative geography and computer science respectively, Dr. Hu went on to pursue a PhD in computer science at York University. He joined the department of biochemistry and medical genetics at the University of Manitoba as a faculty member in 2014.

DR. PINGZHAO HU MEng (Beijing), MA (Saskatchewan), MACS (Dalhousie), PhD (York)

Now a tenured associate professor within the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Dr. Hu challenges his students to push themselves further, while empowering them to take the lead in their research, which resulted in 36 high-profile peer-reviewed articles published with his students as the first author. With his support, Dr. Hu’s students have received a total of 68 international, national and local awards, honours and scholarships to date, totalling nearly $700,000 in academic funding.

Despite his rigorous schedule, Dr. Hu founded the UM Bioinformatics and Biostatistics journal club and research seminar series in 2018, lending his time and expertise and creating a platform for students to share projects within their research field.

In 2020, Dr. Hu received both the University of Manitoba’s Falconer Emerging Researcher Rh Award and the Manitoba Medical Service Foundation Allen Rouse Basic Science Career Development research award for excellence in leadership, research and innovation. In 2021, Dr. Hu received the Ed Kroeger Mentorship Award to recognize his excellence and distinction in mentorship, teaching and research. The University of Manitoba is proud to recognize Dr. Hu with the Graduate Students’ Association Teaching Award.

ACADEMIC DRESS Guests at Convocation will readily conclude that the academic dress worn by graduands and members of the academic procession is both colourful and varied. The significance of academic dress may not be so apparent.

Academic dress includes a gown, hood (worn over the shoulders), and a cap or mortarboard. All universities have distinctive academic dress for each degree offered. This explains the variety of academic dress worn by members of the academic procession who have graduated from many different institutions.

The University of Manitoba has patterned its academic dress after the British tradition using the Oxford gown as the model. The Oxford attire is a modified form of the garments worn by its members in medieval times, sometimes attributed to the need for warmth in their damp halls of learning. There are three types of gowns at the University of Manitoba: the Bachelor’s and Master’s gowns are black; the Doctor of Philosophy gown is black with red velvet bars on sleeves and front panels; and the Honorary Doctor’s gown is scarlet. Mortarboards are black with a black tassel and are worn by all graduands except for honorary graduands; they wear round brimmed caps of black velvet with a gold tassel.

It is the hood which signifies the degree to be presented to the graduand.

The hoods for Bachelor’s degrees all have the common characteristics of black material edged with white borg material. Hoods for each of the Bachelor’s degrees at the University have a distinctive lining ranging from no lining (black) for Arts, to green for Agriculture, to gold for Science.

Similarly hoods for the various Master’s degrees have a distinctive lining but can be differentiated from Bachelor’s hoods by the absence of a borg edging. Hoods for Honorary Doctor’s degrees are scarlet with different linings: white indicates an Honorary Doctor of Laws; yellow, an Honorary Doctor of Science; and slate blue, an Honorary Doctor of Letters. See the following page for a complete listing of the colours of all hood linings.

Senate must approve any changes in academic dress.The Senate Committee on Academic Dress, which includes the Director of the School of Art and the Head of the Department of Interior Design, makes recommendations to Senate on the academic dress of graduands, the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the Marshalls, and other officers of Convocation.
