Greetings to you and a warm welcome to our new alumni
As the wintery weather makes its presence known here in Aotearoa New Zealand through chillier nights, we mark a very special event – graduation. At the end of May, buoyant graduands, their whānau, and loved ones, gathered for three moving days of graduation ceremonies at Takapuna’s Bruce Mason Centre. The Alumni team loved being a part of this special celebration to mark the journey from Massey student to alumni community member. We enjoyed meeting all those who have supported our grads and talking to staff members who were also so proud. Check out more photos here.
This edition shares some awesome Massey alumni stories and event invitations. We hope you feel inspired by the many ways alumni are making our world a better place. Also in exciting news, an alumni survey will soon be sent to you in the next few weeks. We’d love to know more about you and how we can better connect with you, especially now that events are slowly returning and a new normal emerges.
Until then, stay safe and well.
Ngā mihi nui,
The Alumni team
