Māori science student support

Along with the support from the Māori Sciences at Otago team we are fortunate to have an extended Māori science student support group known as the Sciences Kaiāwhina Network. This rōpū is made up of staff from our science departments who provide course advice, who can connect you with academics or paper coordinators within the department, connect you with senior students, support Māori development and a friendly face to visit in your department. If you want to connect with a kaiāwhina in your department check out the links below.
