Welcome from the Associate Dean Pasifika, Faculty of Education, University of Auckland. Afio mai, maliu mai, tala mai 'a'ao.
Congratulations on making the decision to study at the Faculty of Education. We have been leaders in teacher education for almost 130 years and remain strongly committed to Pasifika success through education.
We are the first and only university in New Zealand to show this commitment through the appointment of an Associate Dean, Pasifika. The Faculty of Education has experienced Pasifika professional academic staff and the Pasifika academic Success Service Team (PaSS) are here on campus to cater for your needs.
Whether you are joining us for the first time, or commencing your postgraduate work, you are now a valued member of our diverse and inspiring community. Let us work together to bring about a successful Pasifika future.
I extend a warm welcome from the Faculty of Education and wish you every success for a bright future.
