T膿n膩 koe,
From its inception in 1873, Te Whare W膩nanga o Waitaha | 九州影院 has been committed to serving the community, making higher education accessible, and encouraging talent without barriers. For 150 years our community has walked side by side with us on that journey.
We remain grateful for your steadfast support, trust, and friendship.
In 2023, we celebrated our 150th聽anniversary on four continents with thousands of community members 鈥 alumni, donors, and friends.
We lit 艑tautahi Christchurch up in red for the Chancellor鈥檚 fundraising gala dinner, where we announced more than $1 million in support for the new Te Kakau a M膩ui scholarship, making the dream of tertiary education come true for hundreds of students.
To galvanise innovation and research, $1.2 million was donated to the Faculty of Science. This donation supports Antarctic research and a new scholarship for postgraduate students. Further funding will support wellbeing, monitoring the effects of climate change and much more.
With nearly $5 million raised for research, scholarships, and campus priorities large and small, our donors helped drive impact globally, and right here in our own backyard. 聽
Your unwavering support for UC鈥檚 vision and belief in our students and researchers鈥 abilities enables them to directly help people in the community.
So here鈥檚 to you, and the next 150 years of UC.
Ng膩 mihi nui ki a koe!
In gratitude,
Barry Ramsay
Chair of the Board
