WELCOME TO LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY’S
51ST CONVOCATION CELEBRATION!
Convocation is a traditional ceremony during which the University
officially grants the degrees and diplomas earned by its students.
The word “convocation” means “calling together.” It is a
ceremonial meeting of the entire University community.
Academic Regalia
The Arms of the University were granted by the Earl
Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, on June 20, 1959
The heraldic description is:
Coat of Arms
“Barry wavy of six Argent and Azure on a Chief
Gules in front of a rising Sun issuant from the
base of the Chief Or between two Candles enflamed
proper each surmounted of an open Book also proper
edged and bound Gold a Portcullis chained Sable”
Crest
“On a Wreath Or and Azure on Water Barry wavy
Argent and Azure in front of a Rock growing therefrom
a Pine Tree a Canoe paddled by an Indian Brave and
Canadian Trapper.”
On Convocation Day, University members and their guests wear
special attire based on a tradition that dates back as long as
seven centuries ago. The academic costume, also referred to as
academic “dress” or “regalia,” had its origins in the medieval
European universities. The regalia were devised to distinguish
academic persons as doctors, licentiates, masters, and bachelors.
There are many variations of academic dress. The hood,
gown, and in some cases the special hat worn by an individual are determined by the style of the university where he
or she receives a degree. The colourful gowns and hoods of the
universities from across Canada, the United States, the United
Kingdom, and several other nations of the world are worn at
Lakehead University today.
The academic dress chosen by Lakehead University is fashioned
after that of the University of Oxford, the oldest English-speaking
university in the world. The robes worn by the officers of the
University – the Chancellor, who presides at convocation, the President
and Vice-Chancellor and the Chair of the Board of Governors –
are all of the Oxford cut and trim. Each has its own distinctive
colour. The colourful gowns worn by the individuals who are
receiving honorary degrees are of the same design as are the
black gowns worn by the student candidates.
The ritual at convocation reflects the medieval custom that
anyone in a university could wear a gown, but a hood was the
symbol of a degree. Students who have met the University’s
academic requirements (three, four, five, six or seven years of
study in particular subjects) wear the symbol of their status
as holders of a Lakehead University degree. Lakehead University’s
bachelor’s and master’s degree hoods are distinguished by a
one or two inch colour border which indicates the degree acquired
(i.e. white for Arts, gold for Science, blue for Education,
burgundy for Nursing, etc).
The Mace
During the processional and the recessional, the Marshal for
convocation carries the Mace, a silver wand which is a traditional
symbol of the University’s authority. This mace was given to
the University by the Alumni Association in 1971. It bears
the University’s motto “Ad augusta per angusta”, Achievement
through Effort.
Motto
Ad augusta per angusta
Achievement through effort

Lakehead University
GREETINGS FROM THE CHANCELLOR
I am delighted to welcome you, your families, and friends, as we celebrate your
achievements at one of Canada’s most exceptional universities.
For 50 years, Lakehead’s Convocation ceremonies have graduated people from all
over the world and of all ages. Today celebrates the success of academic achievement,
a major investment in whatever you choose to do in life.
As we laud what you have accomplished at Lakehead, we look ahead to the next 50 years
that you will make your own as proud, successful ambassadors of Lakehead University.
I congratulate each of you and your families for all the effort and support that have
made today a memorable moment to cherish.
Best wishes,
Dr. Derek H. Burney, O.C.
Chancellor
Lakehead University
Honorary
DEGREES
The University confers “honorary” degrees which symbolize the highest honour that can be conferred upon an individual
by the University. An honorary degree may be awarded in recognition of scholarly or creative achievements or distinguished
public service to the country or region. They are awarded to individuals who have been designated by the University’s Senate,
its senior academic governing body, as deserving special honour.
At Convocation, the degree is awarded honoris causa, or “for the sake of honour.” A hood is also given to the recipient and it
may be worn to any academic affair. Recipients of these degrees become honorary alumni of the University and they may affix,
after their names, the abbreviation of the degree.
This year, Lakehead University is proud to honour the following exceptional individuals:
MARGARET PHILLIPS
Doctor of Letters
Margaret Phillips is co-founder of the Northern Woman’s Bookstore and was a member of the Advisory
Committee that created the Department of Women’s Studies at Lakehead University. In the 1970s, a
vibrant feminist community evolved in Thunder Bay that provided women-centred services, advocacy
and political action, but there was no literature being offered to meet its needs. That meant visiting
larger cities to find the books that were missing in Thunder Bay.
GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-CHANCELLOR
Long before most of you began dreaming of what you might achieve, Lakehead University
opened its doors and began opening minds like yours to possibilities.
Fifty years later, over 55,000 Lakehead alumni around the world celebrate their
achievements in their jobs, their hobbies, or families. While Convocation is a time to
celebrate academic achievement, today I join your professors, families, and friends in
celebrating you, your achievements, your next 50 years, and beyond.
Everything you are and everything you learn shapes what you do, where you go, and
who you are. You chose to push yourselves and test your resolve. You overcame personal challenges, remained focused, and, today, you reap the reward of your determination and commitment.
I congratulate you all on what you have achieved as students at Lakehead University.
As we celebrate all that you have done to get here, Convocation also marks the next
step in your exceptional lives - an achievement preceding many more - and one that
we celebrate, together.
Congratulations,
Dr. Brian J.R. Stevenson
President and Vice-Chancellor
Lakehead University

FRIDAY, MAY 29TH, 2015
2pm Ceremony
To provide access to feminist literature, Phillips founded the Northern Woman’s Bookstore in 1984 with
the late Anna McColl. Now, writing circles, workshops, book clubs, and reading and social events make
the Northern Woman’s Bookstore a literary gem.
Phillips views the Bookstore as a service instead of a business. Its most important role is providing a
safe space for women. It also provides lesbian literature and books on feminist analysis, violence and
women’s history, as well as literary fiction, poetry and children’s books. A special emphasis is placed on
Northwestern Ontario writers and Aboriginal authors.
During most of her adult life, Phillips has worked for social justice – particularly with feminist
issues and aboriginal rights. Since she began advocating for these issues, Phillips has seen modest
improvements, but she feels society still has a long way to go to eliminate racism and sexism.
She also worked in recreation. Her early work was, for a young woman at that time, pioneering. Phillips
worked in municipal recreation in Renfrew, North Bay, Iroquois Falls and Kenora. This included the
organization and administration of sports, cultural and adult education programs, and leadership
development for youth and adults.
Phillips received her Bachelor of Arts in Political Studies from Lakehead University in 1980. She
served as a Director on the Board of Inter Pares, an international development organization seeking
change in the status of women worldwide, and as a Board member of the Canadian Council on Social
Development. She was also the executive director of the Lakehead Social Planning Council from 1971
to 1981. In 2008, the Northwestern Ontario Writers’ Workshop honoured Phillips by presenting her
with the Kouhi Award for her outstanding contributions to the literature of Northwestern Ontario.

MICHAEL RAPINO
DR. DOMINIC LAM
Michael Rapino is a Lakehead alumnus who has become an icon within the music industry. Rapino
was named President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Nation Entertainment in 2005 and led its
transformation into the number one live music brand in the world with operations in more than 45
countries and annual revenue exceeding $6.5 billion.
Dr. Dominic Man-Kit Lam is a world-renowned scientist, artist and philanthropist who is proud to be a
Lakehead University alumnus.
Doctor of Commerce
SATURDAY, MAY 30TH, 2015
9:30am Ceremony
Before his career achieved such great heights, Rapino studied Business at Lakehead University and
earned his Bachelor of Administration in 1989. After graduation, Rapino eventually became a Partner
in Core Audience Entertainment, a leading concert promoter and entertainment marketing company in
Canada that was purchased by Clear Channel Entertainment.
In 2005, Live Nation separated from Clear Channel to form its own company in Los Angeles. Since
then, Rapino has made significant contributions to the advancement of the world’s music industry
through his strong business acumen and willingness to be innovative.
In an industry where CD sales plummeted due to digital piracy, Rapino knew that the need for live
music would be the best way to market artists and their music. He was instrumental in merging
Ticketmaster with Live Nation. Rapino now helps propel the careers of artists such as Lady Gaga,
Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Adele and Madonna.
Comprised of four market leading divisions—Ticketmaster, Live Nation Concerts, Live Nation Media
& Sponsorship and Artist Nation Management—Live Nation annually issues more than 450 million
tickets, promotes 23,000 events, partners with over 750 sponsors and manages the careers of 280+
artists. Its ecommerce sites average 37 million unique monthly users.
Beyond the entertainment industry, Rapino is very active in supporting communities. He and his family
established “The Rapino Family Foundation”, a non-profit corporation based in Los Angeles. Its focus
is raising funds for public safety, and disaster preparedness and relief services programs. Live Nation’s
Ticketmaster division uses innovative fundraising initiatives to benefit a myriad of charities.
Rapino has volunteered his time to be featured as a successful Lakehead alumnus in the University’s
2008-09 marketing campaign, “I Think for Myself.” He is proud of his Thunder Bay roots and his
Lakehead University education.

Doctor of Science
Dr. Lam began his undergraduate studies at Lakehead University. He was born in Swatow, China, and
grew up in Hong Kong. He moved to Fort William in 1965, received a city scholarship to Lakehead
University and became one of Lakehead’s first international students.
SATURDAY, MAY 30TH, 2015
2pm Ceremony
Dr. Lam obtained his Honours Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Lakehead in 1967, followed
by a Master’s degree from the University of British Columbia in 1968 and a PhD from the University of
Toronto in 1970. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, eventually
joining the faculty in Neurobiology and Biochemistry. During that time, Dr. Lam worked under two
Nobel Laureates, Professors Torsten Wiesel and David Hubel.
In 1985, he invented a drug for use against secondary cataracts. Dr. Lam then established the first
biotechnology company in Texas, which went public in 1988. He also founded the Hong Kong Institute
of Biotechnology. Since 1990, Dr. Lam has devoted much of his time to making vaccines from edible
plants and microorganisms that can be consumed by man and animals. He continued to teach, became
involved in charity work and became a visual artist.
While making photographs of the eye, he discovered a process now called Chromoskedasic Painting,
where colours can be produced on black and white photographic paper without using dyes or pigments.
Dr. Lam strongly believes in the need to use his research and wealth to benefit humankind. In 1982,
Dr. Lam and Dr. David Paton brought Project Orbis, an airplane with ophthalmic equipment and
specialists, to China to provide free education, eye care and surgery to those in need.
In 1999, Dr. Lam founded the World Eye Organization to focus on research, prevention and treatment
of eye diseases, and assist low-income people with their eyes. As a renowned artist he uses proceeds
from his various artworks to help fund the World Eye Organization.
Dr. Lam has eagerly re-engaged with his alma mater after almost 50 years. He hopes to help Lakehead
become a major international university. He is living proof to Canadian and international students that
you can realize your dreams at Lakehead University.
