LUX ETVERITASFLOREANTThe Universityof WinnipegTo the graduates of 2003:The University of Winnipeg is near a major intersection in Winnipeg, which is itself aCanadian crossroads, with axes along North-South and East-West routes. It is appropriate,then, that your graduating class represents, in some way, almost every nationality, religiousand cultural group; and that fact has had an impact on the way you think and work together.You have been a very outspoken and conscientious university cohort, advocating for tuitionfreezes, building the food bank, promoting respect for diversity, freedom of speech, andfreedom of thought. At the same time, you have completed your academic programs, tackledand solved numerous problems, and expanded your intellectual horizons immeasurably.That is why those of us who are gathered here to launch you into the world can do so withsuch confidence and optimism.Yes, the world is a very turbulent place right now. Never before, however, has the world neededmore those valuable gifts you have demonstrated in your time here: the determination topursue knowledge for its own sake, the genuine desire to understand another person’s orculture’s view, mutual respect, open-mindedness, social awareness and responsibility, thewillingness to fight for what you believe in—all prerequisites for citizenship in this changingand challenging world. You give us pride, and hope.Patrick DeaneActing President and Vice-President (Academic)The University of Winnipeg

To the graduates of 2003:This past year I was elected the President of the Alumni Association of The University ofWinnipeg, but my association with the University originated a long time ago. My father,Tony Nanton, graduated with United College’s Class of ’58 and I graduated with TheUniversity of Winnipeg’s Class of ’88. You may have chosen to come here because, like me,you were following in a family member’s footsteps, or you may be a trailblazer, the first inyour family to go to university.Either way, you deserve our profound congratulations on a job well done. We are confidentthat you will meet the challenges of the future as successfully as you have managed yourstudies here. You have built a strong foundation for your life as a creative person, asproductive worker, and as a global citizen. I hope you have also developed, as I did, a strongfeeling of belonging. You will always be a valued member of the University community, andthe Alumni Association is very proud to welcome you today.Doug Nanton, Class of ’88President, University of Winnipeg Alumni Association

Philip WeissHonorary Doctor of LawsPhilip Weiss has made it his life’s work to educateyoung people about the Holocaust. In honour of hisselfless efforts, Weiss will receive an HonoraryDoctor of Laws at today’s Convocation ceremony.Weiss has lectured extensively in high schools anduniversities throughout the province. “Over theyears, Philip’s impact on my students has beendramatic and more often than not, life changing,”says Allan Levine (BA ’75), a Winnipeg historian,teacher, and longtime friend of Weiss.Weiss’s own life in Drohobych, Poland was alteredirrevocably with Hitler’s rise to power. Followingthe German invasion in 1941, the Nazis herdedthree million Polish Jews behind ghetto walls.When Weiss’s ghetto was destroyed in 1943, Weissand other Jewish men were sent to labour camps,including Plaszow, the camp depicted inSchindler’s List. From there he was transferred tothe Mauthausen concentration camp. Knowing hewould not survive more than a week in the torturousstone quarry, he offered his services to theGermans as a technician and was transferredto a nearby plane factory.“I always maintained a vision of the world past theHolocaust, and that is what kept me going,”says Weiss. He was liberated on May 5, 1945.Miraculously, his mother, father, brother, andsister all survived—a rarity among Holocaustsurvivors. The family immigrated to Winnipeg,where he eventually opened Philip Weiss Limited,a furniture design and manufacturing business. In2002, after a successful career and many awardsfor innovative design, he closed the business andretired from his duties as president.He has not, however, retired from his duties as anambassador of goodwill. Weiss provided freescreenings of Schindler’s List for thousands ofchildren—earning a special citation from StevenSpielberg—and continues to provide financialassistance to students participating in the AsperFoundation Holocaust and Human Rights program,which sends young people to the HolocaustMuseum in Washington. Along with his late wife,Weiss established the Philip and Gertrude WeissEndowment, which recognizes individuals andorganizations engaged in Holocaust education aswell as those who strive to eliminate racism andreligious discrimination. In 1994, the ShaareyZedek Medical Centre in Jerusalem honouredhim with the Humanitarian Award recognizingexemplary citizenship. He was recognized onceagain in 1998, when he received the CanadianJewish Congress Award as one of 50 CanadianHolocaust survivors who have greatly contributedto the betterment of Canadian society.But most importantly, Weiss has earned a place inthe heart of everyone whose life he has touched.Levine describes Weiss as a rare, courageous, andcompassionate individual who exhibits the higheststandards of the community. “He is a man ofdignity; a scholar, philanthropist, and in everyway a fine person.”24 The University of Winnipeg

only role model: Dhruvarajan’s mother insistedthat she get a degree. “My mother opened doorsand my teachers opened my eyes.”Vanaja DhruvarajanFellowship in United CollegeWhen Vanaja Dhruvarajan told her Sociologycolleagues at the University of Chicago that shewanted to focus on women in her PhD dissertation,she was told women are not a valid topic. But shewas given permission to write about the family,which was deemed to be adequately academic. Herthesis resulted in her first published book, HinduWomen and the Power of Ideology. Now a SeniorScholar at The University of Winnipeg,Dhruvarajan has certainly succeeded at finding avoice for Women’s Studies.Since her days in graduate school, Dhruvarajan haspaved many roads for women, locally, nationally,and internationally. Today she will be honoured forthis work when she is admitted to Fellowship inUnited College.Growing up in a small South Indian village,Dhruvarajan saw girls getting married by the age of12. “I remember a teacher who asked what I wantedto be. I told him I didn’t know; I was only a girl,”she recalls. “He said girls could do anything—theyjust had to work hard and believe.” He was not herDhruvarajan began her career at The University ofWinnipeg in 1971, and completed her PhD at theUniversity of Chicago in 1981. Described bycolleagues as a pioneer in Women’s Studies, she setto work developing and teaching Sociology of SexRoles, the first course in the program. “It was newterritory, but a group of us believed in it.” Togetherthey formed the Professionals’ Action Committeeon Education and established a program inWomen’s Studies. “Throughout the process I wassustained by my vision of a better time.” And that’swhat motivates her still.A 1994 YMCA-YWCA Women of Distinction Awardwinner, Dhruvarajan served as the Ruth WynnWoodward Endowed Chair at Simon FraserUniversity. She has sat on dozens of University ofWinnipeg committees, including the SteeringCommittee for the Chair in Women’s Studies andthe Canadian Women’s Studies Association, ofwhich she is a Past President. Former President ofthe Canadian Sociology and AnthropologyAssociation, she says participation in professionalassociations is just as important as teaching andresearch. “Curriculum must be grounded in reallife,” she offers.Dhruvarajan’s most recent books Gender, Raceand Nation: A Global Perspective and Women andWellbeing (edited) reflect her continued interestin women’s issues. “In honouring me theUniversity is honouring Women’s Studies as asubject—the Fellowship gives it importance,which says a lot about where we are as a society.”Convocation Spring 2003 25

was elected as a member-at-large. Since then hehas served as Secretary, Vice-President, andPresident.Edward ByardRobin H. Farquhar Award for Excellencein Contributing to Self-GovernanceEd Byard believes that self-governance is criticalwithin a university setting. “Individuals are able tohave an impact on policy—and I think it’s importantthat we do,” he says.Today Byard will receive the Robin H. FarquharAward for Excellence in Contributing toSelf-Governance.Byard says it is gratifying to sit at a table withpeople from a variety of backgrounds and reach aconsensus on an issue. “You develop an appreciationfor other people’s viewpoints,” he says. “And it’sgood to meet people who work in other areaswithin the University.”Since arriving here in 1977 Byard has served onmany General Faculty Council committees, FacultyCouncil of Arts and Science committees, andSenate committees. But his work with TheUniversity of Winnipeg Faculty Association(UWFA) constitutes Byard’s most significantcontribution to the University’s self-governance.His connection to UWFA began in 1986 when heIn addition to his service on the executive, Byardhas served on numerous UWFA subcommitteesand as the UWFA Chief Negotiator for threeseparate contract negotiations, demonstratingexcellent negotiating and personnel managementskills. The key to his success as a negotiator?“Listening,” he says. “But you also have to knowthe issues well, consult widely, and incorporate asmany points of view as possible. If you do that andremain true to your principles, fair and balancedpolicies will emerge.”For Byard, these skills have been crucial whenresolving issues as Chair of the BiologyDepartment. “I enjoy the challenge,” he admits.“I’ve learned there is never just one way to solve aproblem; you have to analyze all sides of a situation.”The faculty and staff with whom he works makehis job easier by pulling together and workingeffectively, he notes. “I am fortunate to work witha highly motivated and ambitious group who striveto provide high quality instruction.”Colleagues and friends agree that Byard has made asalient and valuable contribution to both theBiology Department and the University. As onecolleague said, “There are few in our communitywho have contributed as generously to the selfgovernanceof our organization. No one deservesthis honour more than Ed.”26 The University of Winnipeg

Ken McCluskeyClifford J. Robson Memorial Award forExcellence in TeachingWhen Ken McCluskey speaks of the qualities he istrying to instill in his teachers-in-training, hepoints to flexibility, a good sense of humour, theability to spot and nurture strengths, and thecompassion to help students weather with dignitychallenges encountered.Not surprisingly, when students speak ofMcCluskey—this year’s recipient of the Clifford J.Robson Memorial Award for Excellence inTeaching—they describe a professor who embodiesthose very characteristics.One student wrote in support of McCluskey’snomination, “It was my extreme good fortune tohave met Dr. McCluskey in my first year at TheUniversity of Winnipeg. At the time, I was returningto university and was unsure of my career path ordirection ... it was Dr. McCluskey’s passion anddedication to at-risk education that inspired meto pursue my career in the at-risk field.”Another student writes of how McCluskey’s initiativesto train young educators have also built significantbridges to the wider community. “Working as acoordinator for Ken’s mentoring courses has givenme the opportunity to see not only how his courseshave given students the training they need to facechallenging situations in education, but also howhis initiatives have benefited the community. Ibelieve it is the work of a very caring, outstandingeducator, to be involved in the lives of so manypeople as he has been.”McCluskey joined The University of Winnipeg in1998, following 25 years as a psychologist, specialeducator, and administrator in the public schoolsystem. Increasingly in demand as a keynotespeaker at national and international conferences,McCluskey is well known for his personal style,which allows him to connect with his audiencethrough anecdotes, humour, and personalexperience. While he has consistently taken oncourses above and beyond a normal teachingload, McCluskey has maintained an exceptionallyhigh teaching evaluation rating from his studentseach year.On behalf of his students, The University ofWinnipeg is proud to present Dr. Ken McCluskeywith the Clifford J. Robson Memorial Award forExcellence in Teaching today.“I am humbled by this,” says McCluskey. “Almostanyone in my department could have won thisaward. It’s such a collegial, mutually supportivegroup.” The best part of his job? “Working withstudents. It’s a joy to come to work.”Convocation Spring 2003 27

Mary RobinsonHonorary Doctor of LawsRich or poor, educated or unschooled, urban orisolated—for Mary Robinson, there is one universaltruth that applies to everyone: each and everyperson is entitled to the same human rights.Former President of Ireland, past United NationsHigh Commissioner for Human Rights, andcurrent Director of the Ethical GlobalizationInitiative, Robinson has dedicated her careerto helping lay the groundwork to ensure thisfundamental value is honoured in every cornerof the globe“Ms. Robinson is a truly exceptional example ofleadership who has worked assiduously to advancethe agendas of fairness, equality, openness, andjustice throughout the world,” says Allen Mills,Chair of The University of Winnipeg PoliticsDepartment and a member of the Friends of theUnited Nations. He adds that as HighCommissioner, Robinson was one of only ahandful of international civil servants dealingwith the problems of an agitated world.Robinson’s approach is a simple one: never toassume that she has all the answers, and to askpeople what they need and where their prioritieslie. “During the five years I served as UnitedNations High Commissioner for Human Rights,my work took me to over 80 countries,” saysRobinson. “I was able to speak with people of allwalks of life, and hear their views on what they sawas the best way to achieve a more peaceful and justworld. What I heard them say, again and again,from Calcutta to Cairo, from Caracas to Cape Town,was that global challenges—poverty, trafficking inpersons, HIV/AIDS, and environmental changes,to name only four—recognize no borders, and canonly be addressed by nations working togetherwith shared resources and common goals.”When awarded the J. William Fulbright Prize forInternational Understanding in 1999, she calledfor new emphasis on economic and social rights,including the right to education. “The humanrights that so many of us take for granted—freedomof speech and religion, the right to a fair trial—cannot flourish where people are deprived ofaccess to food, to healthcare, and education,”said Robinson.The University has had inspiring honorary doctorsin the past, but Mary Robinson seems an especiallyappropriate candidate this year, foregrounding theUniversity’s historic engagement with matters ofsocial justice, and signaling our desire to be evenmore involved with affairs on the national andeven international stage. The University ofWinnipeg is delighted to present Mary Robinsonwith an Honorary Doctor of Laws.28 The University of Winnipeg

LUX ETVERITASFLOREANTThe University of WinnipegCoat of ArmsThe Coat-of-Arms of The University of Winnipeg was officially adopted by the governingbodies of the University during the academic session of 1972–73.The elements found within the Coat-of-Arms have been associated over the years with bothManitoba and Wesley Colleges, the ancestors of United College. The bunch of grapes in thelower portion of the inner shield derives from the Coat-of-Arms of Manitoba College. Thegrape symbol has its origin in the College seal adopted in the charter of 1871. The cross, thelamp, and the open book derive from the Coat-of-Arms of Wesley College, designed in 1897by Dr. J.H. Riddell. The cross, the symbol of sacrificial service in the interest of humanity,was the basis for his design and upon it he placed a shield, the symbol of protection. Thelamp, the symbol of light, also represents learning, to which the Colleges have been devotedfor over a century in the Province of Manitoba. The open book, representing instruction inthe way of life and the bringing of understanding to the student, symbolizes knowledge in ageneral sense, although it may carry overtones of the Holy Scriptures in a more limitedinterpretation.The motto, placed upon a scroll below, is the United College motto, here retained: Lux etVeritas Floreant (Let Light and Truth Flourish). The words catch the central import of thelamp (light) and the open book (truth), and express the hope that both may flourish (as thegrape) in a Christian land (the cross).34 The University of Winnipeg
