Te Pūoho
Ko te Whare Wānanga o Waikato e tū mai nei, ko te Tangata te tohu, tīhei mauri ora!
This is the University of Waikato presenting to you, ‘The People’ is the emblem, Behold I live!!
Te Pūoho is a kaupapa dedicated to Māori student achievement which aims to:
- Inspire you to succeed academically.
- Empower you with the tools needed to navigate university life.
- Connect you to a whānau within your area of study and to opportunities throughout the University.
Our Te Pūoho hubs can be on Hamilton and Tauranga campuses and are a first point of contact for all your needs. Each hub has a friendly team of Whītiki Tauira — students who understand the struggles and rewards of university life and can provide guidance. The units also provide sporting, cultural and social opportunities throughout the year.
Nō reira, nau mai, haere mai!
So, welcome, come!
