21 Day Challenge
The 21 Day Pacific Challenge brings teams of students from across the university together to solve a problem in a Pacific nation.
The challenge is a competition like no other, providing students with the opportunity to make a real impact on international communities in need.
Participants are selected by academic advisors and placed into teams. Students are allocated to a team based on their studies to ensure that each team has a diverse pool of knowledge and represents each of the five colleges.
