Langara’s Coat of Arms Langara’s official coat of arms was unveiled at a campus ceremony in January 2015 by His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada. Drawing inspiration from the Langara community, the new coat of arms has been designed to reflect Langara’s values of learning and discovery, and includes elements of the surrounding community. It is used to represent the College at ceremonial occasions. The coat of arms features a strong X shape, symbolizing the college as a crossroads where students from varied backgrounds meet and then follow various life paths. It also alludes to the Langara campus, which features angular buildings surrounded by green space. The book indicates that Langara is an educational body, and the cherry blossoms are a feature of Vancouver in the spring. The pantheon represents imagination, achievement and the natural world. The use of gold stars on green refers to the arms of the Spanish admiral Juan de Langara y Huarte, for whom the College was named. The mariner’s compass also alludes to the early Spanish explorers, as well as the college’s role in guiding its students. The falcon is the mascot of the college’s intercollegiate sports teams. The binary code on their collars (meaning “L” and “C” for Langara College) honours the college’s commitment to innovation in instructional information technology. The base of river grass represents the location of the college’s campus in the traditional territory of the Musqueam Nation, “Musqueam” meaning “people of the river grass”. In January of 2016 the Musqueam gave Langara the name snəw ̓eyəɬ lelə which means house of teachings. The Latin phrase at the base means “Knowledge is freedom”.


Welcome to Langara College’s 50th Annual Convocation Ceremonies. Convocation is the ceremonial calling together of the College community to confer credentials, recognize outstanding achievements, and honour the pursuit of higher learning. Steeped in tradition, it is a transformative event for graduands, a time to reminisce, celebrate, and look ahead to the future. We wish all of our graduates every success and thank them for their contributions to Langara.

Emeriti Awards CELEBR ATING DISTINGUISHED SERVICE

Langara is proud to announce the awarding of the 2016 Emeritus Awards. Emeritus is an honourary title given to retired faculty or professional staff to recognize their outstanding contribution to teaching, service, or leadership in an organization.

DR. MARTIN GERSON – VICE-PRESIDENT ACADEMIC AND PROVOST EMERITUS Dr. Martin Gerson’s 38-year career at Langara was characterized by distinguished service as a faculty member in the Mathematics Department, Faculty Association President, Division Chair, Dean of Instruction, and the College’s first Vice-President Academic and Provost. His service to the College, internally and externally, professionally and personally, constitutes an unparalleled contribution in the history of the institution. Throughout his career, Dr. Gerson was highly respected and warmly regarded by the Langara community as an ethical leader and trusted colleague who embodied our highly valued collegial model. In 2012 Dr. Gerson was given the Idahlynn Karre International Exemplary Leadership Award by The Chair Academy for making a significant contribution to academic and administrative leadership in his work.

SUKI GREWAL – FACULT Y EMERITA, NURSING Suki Grewal taught in the Langara College School of Nursing from 2003 to 2015. She brought an intense focus on cultural safety, global health, research, and scholarship, and has positively influenced the School of Nursing’s curriculum. Grewal continues to be a tireless community volunteer and advocate. She has served as an advisory committee member for the BC Cancer Agency for the Oral Cancer Prevention Program among the South Asian Community; a Canadian consultant for the Royal Institute of Nursing in Punjab, India; and a member of the “We Can” committee focused on domestic violence. Her research into South Asian health issues has also been widely published in various health related journals.

JANE HEYMAN – FACULT Y EMERITA, THEATRE ARTS Jane Heyman is a Jessie award-winning director who worked as a full-time member of the Theatre Arts faculty between 1985 and 2005. She served as the department’s first Associate Director from 1991 until her retirement, and was instrumental in building Studio 58 into a nationally renowned program. Heyman remains deeply connected to the department, as a member of the Theatre Arts Advisory Committee, and periodic director of student productions, including February 2016’s The Train Carr. After retirement, she created the Jane Heyman Fund for Creative Collaboration, and most recently co-chaired the Studio 58 Legacy Fund, which has raised over $130,000 since the fall of 2014. She also co-founded Vancouver’s Performing Arts Lodge (PAL), a unique social housing and theatre complex in Coal Harbour that provides a home for senior performing arts professionals.

LINDA HOLMES – PRESIDENT EMERITA Linda Holmes was the founding President of Langara College. During the Langara Faculty Association strike in 1992, Holmes represented Langara in the negotiation with the Ministry of Advanced Education to transform the institution into a stand-alone College. Since that time, Langara has prospered and grown physically as a result of her leadership in the development and approval of the Master Plan for Facility Development. Holmes helped create a unique and valued identity for Langara College and ensured that Langara built a reputation for program quality and excellence. Prior to stepping into the presidency, she was a Nursing faculty member, Career Program Division Chair, and Dean of Administration and Student Services.
