Welcome to Waikato!

We had the pleasure of welcoming our newest cohort of students to the Waikato whānau, and what an incredible welcome it was!

Our heartfelt thanks go to all the dedicated Waikato staff members and student volunteers in Hamilton and Tauranga, the Waikato Students' Union, and our generous sponsors who all collaborated to create such a warm and enthusiastic start to your University life.
