HOW TO APPLY

The specialist library staff represent an outstanding Hapori community of practice. Their work is characterised by collaboration, innovation, and a deep commitment to student learning. Across diverse disciplines, programmes and levels of study the team has transformed how students engage with knowledge by embedding cultural heritage collections into teaching, learning, research and assessment. By embedding themselves within teaching teams and co-creating transformative learning experiences, they have a profound and demonstrable impact on learner success across the University of Canterbury. Their mahi exemplifies the principles of whanaungatanga, working collectively, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another to achieve shared goals. Through their efforts, students and staff do not simply access collections; they engage with them in ways that shape their understanding, inspire their creativity, and enable their success.
