Iron Pin Ceremony

Timing note: Doors open at 11:30 AM; please be in your seats by 12PM

In 2014, a number of events began a wave of discussions around what we, as a community, valued. These words became actions, and the actions led to change. The Iron Pin is a community covenant – a pledge to uphold our mutual values and support each other.

This ceremony marks your entry into the UBC Vancouver Engineering community, and symbolizes your first major step into the engineering profession. On this day, you will pledge to uphold our community values and abide by the UBC Engineering Code of Ethics.

Today, the idea of the Iron Pin ceremony has expanded from coast to coast - from Vancouver Island University all the way to Memorial University of Newfoundland. This affirms that the values we place in ethics and goodwill are mutually shared among our peers.
