Kia ora tātou,

As we approach the Easter holidays, a reminder that the University is closed from Friday 18 April through to Easter Tuesday on 22 April.

Changes to the University logo

This week the University launches its refreshed logo. The new design brings together our traditional crest and our English and te reo Māori names into a simplified and contemporary design style. The launch follows extensive engagement with a wide range of our communities, including students, staff, alumni and mana whenua. Read more about the rationale and rollout of the revised logo, and its application, on the News pages [https://uoa.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvN8~wpKDv8S~xb~Gv_S~yKGlaoqdR37ufR6Sz7~Pv_z&2=41788].

Amendments to the Education and Training Act

Last week three amendments to the Education and Training Act 2020, including those related to the freedom of expression, were tabled in Parliament. You can read more about the proposed amendments here [https://uoa.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvN8~wpKDv8S~xb~Gv_S~yKGlaoqdR37ufR6Sz7~Pv_z&2=41789]. The University has been asked to provide feedback on a range of questions to the Minister.

May I take this opportunity to wish you a restful and peaceful mid-semester break.

Ngā mihi nui, Dawn
