Kia ora and a warm welcome to the newest members of our alumni  whānau

As the autumn hues decorate Aotearoa New Zealand, we recently had the privilege of hosting our graduation ceremonies. Held across Wellington, Palmerston North, and Auckland, these events saw our latest graduates, their supportive whānau, and dear friends come together to celebrate their significant accomplishments. As always, being part of these special occasions as the Alumni Relations Team was a source of immense delight and pride.

We had the privilege of interacting closely with our graduates and hearing their unique Massey experiences. These narratives, steeped in tenacity, commitment, and triumphant achievement, are inspiring.

We invite you to immerse yourselves in these amazing journeys, and we hope you, our cherished alumni, will take pride in the new voices that join our community, and their stories will motivate and uplift you.
