Associate Professor Hon. Luamanuvao Dame Winnie Laban, Assistant Vice-Chancellor (Pasifika), at Victoria University of Wellington says the Pasifika roadshow information evenings are a valuable opportunity to collectively work towards fostering academic excellence and growth within the Pasifika community.
“We are keen to bring the University to Pasifika people, and connect directly with our local communities, Pasifika families, and potential students who are considering pursuing their studies at Te Herenga Waka.
“We especially look forward to listening and discussing the viewpoints and aspirations of our Pasifika communities regarding university education, to collectively work towards fostering academic excellence and growth within the Pasifika community.”
The evenings will include information on study options and support services, and include insights from Pasifika alumni, current students, and staff. The events also provide an opportunity for alumni to explore postgraduate studies and second chance pathways at the University.
Families and people of all ages are welcome to attend.
These information evenings will take place between Thursday 1 August and Wednesday 14 August, in Porirua, Levin, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Wairarapa, and Wellington.
