The University of Waikato has marked a historic moment with its first cohort of students to graduate at The Pā. This is the first time in the University’s 59-year history that it has hosted all Hamilton graduations on campus, having previously hosted ceremonies at Claudelands Events Centre and its own Te Kohinga Mārama Marae, as well as earlier at Hamilton’s Founders’ Memorial Theatre and at a number of marae across the region.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Neil Quigley says that hosting graduation at The Pā is a chance for the whole University community to come together and celebrate the success of its graduates, alongside whānau, friends and supporters, in an inspiring venue that is truly Waikato.
