Māori and Pasifika graduation celebrations
Māori graduates and graduands
Māori graduands are encouraged to wear their family korowai over their gown at their graduation. The hood must be worn on top of the korowai.
The University also holds celebrations for Māori Graduates and Graduands to celebrate the achievements of our Māori students at the University of Canterbury. It is an opportunity for Māori graduates to be presented to their whanau, the Māori community and the University.
