all about you, our now alumni, and your

accomplishments. The opportunity to mark

your graduation in a formal, in-person

manner is important, and we are delighted

to have you back on campus. It is our honour

to celebrate this event with you.

For many of us, graduation is a key milestone in our

academic journey. It is a recognition of years of hard-

work and commitment that propel us into exciting

ventures and careers. A year or two removed from

circumstances in which you completed your degree

are in many ways unprecedented. You persevered

and exhibited resiliency and tenacity, traits that will

undoubtedly benefit you in the future.

As a graduate of the University of Waterloo, you

have joined an illustrious community of global

thinkers who are making a lasting impact on the

world around us. That impact reflects the original

vision of the institution’s founders who sought to

create a university that would help tackle some of

the world’s most daunting challenges.

The knowledge you gained during your time

at Waterloo--whether in the lecture hall, lab or

elsewhere on campus--will play a role in your

on-going success.

Our institution’s rich history and the success of

our alumni is rooted in community. You have left

an indelible mark on our institution, and I hope

you will maintain a connection to the University.

The University’s motto “Concordia cum veritate”

means “in harmony with truth.” As you continue

into the next chapter of your journey, I encourage

you to think unconventionally. We live in a world

mired in geo-political, environmental, and health

challenges. Regardless of your discipline, you have

a unique opportunity to make a difference in your

Class of 2021 Convocation Celebration / UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO 5

Our tradition of convocationThe ritual of convocation is a tradition that

honours the roots of the University, and is,

at the same time, a beginning for students

who now enter a new stage in their lives.

We welcome guests on this celebratory occasion

and thank you for being present to share in it.

Both the symbols and the ceremony of convocation

look back far beyond the beginning of the University

of Waterloo, back to the centuries of university life

in Western civilization which Waterloo joined six

decades ago. The founders of this University were

eager from the beginning to make it part of that long

tradition, although they proudly asserted that they

were building a new and innovative university, with

close ties to industry and an emphasis on practical

knowledge for building the future.

On this day, as ancient customs mix with the use of

up-to-date technology and the exuberance of a new

generation, Convocation connects a forward-looking

university with the traditions that universities have

observed as long as they have existed.

The University of Waterloo grew out of an older

institution, Waterloo College. A still older one,

the University of St. Jerome’s College, soon became

federated with it, and the College of Optometry of

Ontario joined the family in 1967. Although all these

institutions were newcomers compared with Oxford

and Harvard and the Jagiellonian, the connection to the

traditional role and style of a university remains clear.

Tradition underlies the proceedings of today’s

convocation, the continuity of this University with

centuries of academic experience. Passion brings the

proceedings to life, along with the enthusiasm with

which the University recognizes new achievements

and new ideas.

1960s CONVOCATION AT WATERLOO

A CALLING TOGETHERStudents graduate at the end of a program of study,

leading to a degree with a traditional name: Bachelor,

Master, or Doctor. On this day, their families and friends

celebrate their success and their transition from one

status in life to another. Convocation has been, for

the past nine hundred years, a meeting of the whole

University community at which symbols are displayed,

participants wear special attire to emphasize their

official roles, and speakers share their wisdom and the

values that the University seeks to teach. Convocation

(the name comes from Latin, which was once the chief

language of higher education) is a calling together

of new graduates to receive the symbols of their

accomplishment, and a calling together of the older

members of the University to be witnesses and join in

the celebration.

CONNECTING WITH TRADITIONAt Waterloo’s first convocation in June 1960, the

guest speaker was James J. Talman of the University

of Western Ontario, who told the audience a little

about the history of Waterloo County and its industry.

“The greatest resource we still have is the minds of the

people,” Talman said, “and this resource still remains

to be developed to its full potential. The people of the

Grand Valley clearly appreciate this fact. As we see

the success with which they developed the physical

resources in the past, we can only conclude that they

will be just as successful in developing the intellectual

resources of the future. The University of Waterloo

can look forward to a brilliant and successful future.”

Class of 2021 Convocation Celebration / UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO6

THE PROCESSIONThe most impressive part of the ceremony may be the

procession that begins it. The graduating students will come

in first, and as they fill up the main body of the hall they

will give the impression that today’s ceremony really is, as

convocation used to be, a ceremonial meeting of the whole

University community.

After the graduating students have come in, faculty

members enter walking two by two, followed by University

officials, all in their academic finery. Near the end of the

procession, a selected faculty member will carry the mace,

a traditional symbol of the University’s authority.

The final party to arrive is the Chancellor’s party.

The Chancellor is the ceremonial head of the University

of Waterloo. The Chancellor presides over Convocation

ceremonies every June and October and awards all

degrees, diplomas and certificates, including honorary

degrees. The Chancellor addresses graduands and inspires

them at these ceremonies.

THE MACEThis solid silver and ebony wand was given to the

University in 1965 by the family of the late Stanley F.

Leavine and was designed by Toronto artist Eric Aldwinckle

and crafted by silversmith Harold Stacey to symbolize the

University as it was at that time. It displays lions, chevrons,

and the shield of the province of Ontario, from which the

University holds its charter to grant degrees.

The symbolic theme of the mace is unity amid diversity,

and tension in the creative intellectual process that strives

to bring forth a new individual. The design of the mace

interprets this theme in the idiom of the life process:

from the seeds at the base of the stave the mace grows in

unity and strength until it differentiates by a four-fold

separation into diverse elements.

Class of 2021 Convocation Celebration / UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO 7

THE COAT OF ARMS AND MOTTOThe lions and chevrons also appear on the shield that

is the University’s coat of arms and that is imprinted

on the graduates’ diplomas. Derived from traditional

heraldry, it has been used since 1961 and was registered

with the Court of the Lord Lyon in 1987. The shield

uses the official colours of gold, black, and white, and

its symbols refer to the University’s base in the cities of

Kitchener and Waterloo. The unusual double chevrons

were borrowed from the coat of arms of Lord Kitchener

of Khartoum, and the red lions are like those on the

coat of arms of the Duke of Wellington, victor at the

1815 Battle of Waterloo. The lions also reflect the tough

and innovative spirit of the University’s founders and

builders, and the black and white in the chevron are the

colours of Prussia, reflecting the Germanic background

of many Waterloo County settlers. Beneath the shield

appears the University’s motto, Concordia cum veritate,

“In harmony with truth.”

DEGREES AND HONORARY DEGREESPresentations of earned and honorary degrees, and the

speeches associated with them, take up most of the time

at Convocation. Undergraduate and graduate degrees

are awarded in each of our six faculties: the faculties of

Arts, Engineering, Environment, Health, Mathematics

and Science. Also included are students who attended

our colleges, St. Jerome’s University, St. Paul’s University

College and Renison University College.

In addition to “earned” degrees awarded to students who

have met the requirements through years of eff ort, the

University of Waterloo confers “honorary” degrees to

individuals who have been designated by the Senate, the

University’s academic governing body, as deserving special

honour. They, too, receive hoods, lined with the colour

of the faculty that nominated them or with specially

designated colours for other kinds of achievement.

By tradition, public service is recognized with a

Doctor of Laws degree even in a university that does

not regularly teach law. The individuals receiving

honorary degrees are introduced during the

ceremony, and a brief citation is read to explain their

various accomplishments deserving of recognition

by a university. One of the honorands will address

convocation after the degree has been given.

The four-fold diversity is significant because of

the four faculties existing at the time the mace

was presented to the University and as well of

the four church-related colleges federated and

affiliated with the University. These diverse

elements together form a crown, and the point

of the crown, while tending toward a union,

do not quite touch. They remain as individuals

suspended in tension and yet engaged in deep

harmony. This creative process is focused not on

the traditional spherical orb of static perfection

but rather on an elliptical silver ovum – the

egg-shaped symbol of creativity – the marvelous

potential of a new individual life.

Waterloo brings home the gold

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEAR’S ALUMNI GOLD MEDAL RECIPIENTS!

YOU HAVE MUCH TO CELEBRATE, AND EVEN MORE TO ANTICIPATE

IN YOUR FUTURE AS UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO ALUMNI.

Alumni Gold Medal recipients share in the pursuit

of discovery, so we created a lasting symbol to

honour their achievements.

Since 1970, Alumni Gold Medals have

graced the convocation gowns of our top

undergraduate and graduate students.

The Royal Canadian Mint produced these

medals in the past – but in the true spirit

of Waterloo, we’ve decided to make

them ourselves.

Carefully crafted on campus in state-of-the-

art labs, each medal is created out of nickel

superalloy using a 3D printer. The surface is

finished by hand to produce a brilliant shine.

Through the process of electroplating, the medal is then

coated in 24-carat gold. The result is a tribute to Waterloo’s

most accomplished graduates, made for each proud recipient

by members of the University community.
