Eke Panuku | UC Māori Orientation

Eke Panuku is an event where you can come and meet the UC Māori team and learn more about how we can help you settle into university life and support you as you jump into the waka of tertiary study.

Take this opportunity to connect with our Māori student advisors (Kaiurungi) and the many support services at UC.

Keep an eye out for next years Eke Panuku dates!

Thank you to all those who attended this year’s Eke Panuku in February.
