"In my life I have been an undergraduate and postgraduate student at Otago, and now a staff member.

"I know financial pressures can have a big influence on a student's life when they should be studying - the scale of the COVID disruption is far bigger than anything which occurred in my lifetime. Knowing what a difference some financial help can make, I felt compelled to help today's students by donating to the hardship fund."

Professor Craig Rodger, Beverly Professor of Physics, Department of Physics, University of Otago.
