The December 2024 issue of He Kete Kōrero marks the end of a successful, challenging and momentous year for the Wellington campus.
One of the major highlights for the year has been the reopening of the Nordmeyer Lecture Theatre, which has given us back a space for teaching, learning, connecting and celebrating. We have been privileged to host many special events there, including the reunion of the Otago Medical School Class of ’79 alumni, our Hui Whakanui Tauira Student Awards and our staff awards ceremony.
This last issue of the year gives us the opportunity to congratulate Wellington staff who have received national recognition, won academic promotions and gained research funding over the past few months.
We also celebrate a new initiative, the Welcome Waka day trips, which offer staff an orientation to the greater Wellington area and start the process of establishing tikanga and campus values.
