2026 Golden Alumni Lunch

The Golden Alumni Lunch is a special event celebrating members of the Massey alumni community aged 60 years and over.

Held at Wharerata on the Manawatū campus, this inaugural gathering provides an opportunity for alumni to reconnect with former classmates and friends, share memories of their time at Massey, and hear the latest updates from the University.

Guests will enjoy a buffet lunch, entertainment, and an update from Vice-Chancellor Professor Pierre Venter, while also gaining an early insight into Massey University’s upcoming centenary celebrations in 2027. A commemorative group photograph will also be taken to mark the occasion.

As the first of its kind, the Golden Alumni Lunch is designed to celebrate the lifelong connections that alumni have with Massey University and with one another, and we look forward to establishing it as an annual tradition. Please note that capacity is limited. You are welcome to attend on your own or bring one partner. If your partner will be attending, please provide their details in the guest registration section below.
