Campus Connections Aotearoa is a programme launched by Dr Pat Bullen and Dr Kelsey Deane that involves student mentors and counsellors working with marginalised youth who have been alienated from mainstream education. This is a win-win situation, with the students getting hands-on experience that goes beyond what can be taught in a classroom environment, and the youth getting the chance to expand their horizons and develop important life skills.
The University of Auckland has partnered with TVNZ to create a series of videos featuring interviews with its academics and students. The series looks at the University's campuses, faculties and facilities, showcasing groundbreaking innovation and entrepreneurial projects.
