At the beginning of convocation, the audience is requested to stand, if its members are able, when the Academic Procession arrives. At the close of Convocation, following the singing of O Canada, the audience should remain standing until the Academic Procession has left.
Graduates are asked to remain in their seats until the Convocation ceremony is completed as a sign of respect and consideration for their classmates.
The academic procession is piped from UNB’s Grand Hall to the Imperial Theatre.
Following the ceremony, graduates, their guests and ceremony participants are invited to the Convocation Reception in UNB’s Grand Hall.
Although Latin has long ceased to be the language of instruction for all university courses, as it once was at Oxford and Cambridge, at Paris and Bologna, we have retained it at UNB for limited use on occasions of great academic solemnity, such as university convocations. The use of Latin today is a symbol of our academic descent from those earliest universities of medieval Europe and a humble reminder that the search for truth is both ancient and new.
One photo will be taken of each graduate on the stage. In early November, graduates will be able to download print quality photographs at UNB.ca/graduation.
The ceremony is being livestreamed and broadcast at UNB.ca/graduation. UNB is committed to protecting personal information. If you have any privacy concerns, contact the University Secretariat, at secretariat@unb.ca or 506-453-4613.
A video of the ceremony will be posted to UNB.ca/graduation.
We respectfully acknowledge that UNB stands on the unsurrendered and unceded traditional Wolastoqey land.
The lands of Wabanaki people are recognized in a series of Peace and Friendship Treaties to establish an ongoing relationship of peace, friendship and mutual respect between equal nations.
The river that runs through our city is known as Wolastoq, along which live Wolastoqiyik – the people of the beautiful and bountiful river. Wolastoq is also called the Saint John River.
Wolastoq Pomeloqe / Wolastoq is flowing
Acite Pomiku / Flowing and growing
Wolastoq Olmeloqe / Wolastoq is flowing
Supeq Olmiye / Down to the sea

The Sacred Bundle is a wrapped collection of sacred items held by a designated carrier. The keeper of the Sacred Bundle carries a responsibility of courage to maintain truth in all interactions and has an obligation to promote unity within diversity. It also provides an obligation to encourage building of respectful and sacred relationships within the university. The ceremonial contents of the Sacred Bundle will provide guidance toward the shared task of forging a new path within the promise of Piluwitahasuwawsuwakon (forging a new path toward truth and reconcili-action).
The Mace, which symbolizes the authority of the University to award degrees, was officially used for the first time at UNB’s 167th Encaenia in May 1996.
A gift of the university’s fourth modern-day Chancellor, the late Fredrik S. Eaton, OC, the Mace was proposed by the late Colin B. Mackay, OC, QC, President Emeritus. It measures 4.5 feet in length and features an antique silver cup atop a butternut shaft.
The George II, two-handled cup was given to the University in 1995 by S.A.H. Bridge, the great-great-grandson of Sir Howard Douglas, Bar’t. It was once part of a collection of fine silverware presented to Sir Howard by the people of New Brunswick when he returned to England, after serving as Lieutenant Governor (1823-1831). During his term, Sir Howard took great interest in the institution then known as the College of New Brunswick. He persuaded the British government to grant it a Royal Charter, as King’s College, and to provide half the funding for the construction of what is now the oldest university building still in use in Canada.
The cup, hallmarked LONDON 1734, is predated by its cover, which bears a 1728 hallmark. The armorial engraving on the upper half of the cup and the crest and motto on the cover are those of Douglas of Kirkness, County Kinross.
New Brunswick artisan, the late Michiel Oudemans, created the staff for the Mace. Crafted from butternut, a wood common to the province, the staff features elements of the UNB coat of arms and symbols of New Brunswick: a book of learning, beavers (in honour of Lord Beaverbrook, the University’s first modern-day Chancellor), a galley, fiddleheads and Atlantic salmon.
The UNB coat of arms was approved by the Board in May 1956. In 1996, it was “repatriated” at a ceremony at Rideau Hall. The late Governor General Roméo LeBlanc presided over the registration of the symbol with the Canadian Heraldic Authority.
Within the coat of arms, the university celebrates its roots, founders and history. The beavers, representing Lord Beaverbrook’s commitment to UNB; the book, carrying UNB’s motto, represents knowledge and education; and the ship is from New Brunswick’s coat of arms.
The current UNB seal was created in 1968. The Latin on the rim states it is the seal of The University of New Brunswick. The text on the left-hand page of the book reads in Hebrew, “In the Beginning, God Created the Heavens and the Earth…and the Spirit of God moved upon the Face of [the waters].” On the right-hand the Greek text reads, “The Gospel According to Saint John,” followed by the first six words of the first verse of John’s gospel, “In the beginning was the Word.”
The seal appears on official UNB documents, including degree parchments, contracts and other legal documents.
In 2000, the UNB Associated Alumni began the tradition of presenting alumni pins to graduates. The pin carries memories of a life-changing experience at UNB and serves as a symbol that graduates will always be part of the alumni family of more than 100,000 worldwide. UNB alumni are leaders and innovators, driving change and transforming knowledge into action in communities around the globe. As our graduates pave their own path and inspire others along the way, we hope they wear their UNB alumni pin with pride.
Graduation stoles are worn by some graduands to recognize and celebrate the histories, cultures and identities of First Nation, Inuit and Métis students, as well as African and African diasporic students. These stoles serve as a meaningful symbol of heritage and culture, while marking this significant academic milestone.
At the beginning of the graduation ceremony, before the Mace is set on its ceremonial stand by the University Secretary and the Sacred Bundle has been laid by the Interim Piluwitahasuwin and Associate Vice-President, Indigenous Engagement, the President will petition the Chancellor to begin the ceremony.
Praeses: Amplissime Cancellari, placetne tibi ut officium incipiat?
Cancellari: Placet.
President: Most noble Chancellor, is it your pleasure that the ceremony begins?
Chancellor: It is my pleasure.
Graduation is a gathering of all individuals who are part of the University – students, professors, administrators, staff and alumni. All of the formalities around Convocation take place on the platform or stage.
Traditionally, the ceremony starts with the procession of graduands, faculty, staff and platform party members. In addition to others, the platform party consists of special guests; the Honorary Degree Recipient; Interim Piluwitahasuwin and Associate Vice-President, Indigenous Engagement; members of the Board of Governors; the Provost and Vice-President Academic; Vice-Presidents; Vice-Provosts; the President and Vice- Chancellor; the Chancellor and the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
The banners displayed above the stage represent the various faculties and/or schools in which students study. The flags on stage represent the countries that are home to the international students currently studying at UNB.
