Dear Graduand,

Today’s virtual ceremony celebrates your very real
accomplishment.

Your graduation began long before this day. It began
when you made the choice to study that extra hour,
dedicate yourself more deeply and strive to reach for
the degree you had chosen to fully commit your
life to pursuing.

Many of the people that helped you arrive here today—
family, friends, classmates—are watching this ceremony
with you. While they may not be physically next to
you, they stand with you in spirit, take pride in your
achievement and share your joy.

We are honoured to have given you a place to
discover, inspire others and be challenged beyond
what you thought was possible.

Yours,

UBC

THE GRADUATION JOURNEY

The UBC graduation journey has been forged
by the spirit of the university’s motto, Tuum Est,
(meaning ‘it is yours’) since 1915. Today, you,
the graduating class of 2021, now shape UBC’s
history by making it your own.

OKANAGAN SONG

ałi kwu_swiwi-numtax,               ałi kwu_suknaqinx,
We are beautiful,                   Because we are Okanagan,

                ałi axa/ L/tmxwula/xw
                Because our land is beautiful

                      The Okanagan Song is based on a
                      traditional song style called skəlmxquin.
                      Skəlmxquin songs belong to the
                      Okanagan/Syilx people collectively. Songs
                      of this style can be sung by any Okanagan/
                      Syilx person using their own phrasing and
                      their own emotion while maintaining the
                      formal rhythm and structure. This song has
                      been called the “Okanagan Song” or the
                      “Okanagan Nation Anthem” because the
                      phrasing and meaning were constructed to
                      celebrate pride in being Okanagan.
                      Translation of suknaquinx sklmxquinx Note:
                      the word ałi translates three separate ways in
                      this song.
