PRO VICE-CHANCELLOR MĀORI UPDATE
Tēnā koutou katoa
I have been in my role as Pro Vice-Chancellor
Māori for almost 9 months and have been
amazed at the range of activities that are
carried out under the auspices of my Office by
a very active, creative and highly competent
team of staff. Some days there is a whirlwind
of movement in and out of Te Āhurutanga as
people focus on the event of the moment.
The Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor Māori
co-ordinates University-wide programmes
that encompass Māori student support,
academic and administrative staff support
and development, external iwi and stakeholder
relationships, internal Māori development,
and contributions to University policy and
planning processes. Of course I have been
busy expanding on our activities through
some new initiatives such as the Te Rōpū
Manukura Student Internship Programme. Our
activities contribute to the Distinctiveness
of the University of Waikato in terms of
Māori, Leadership, and Sustainability, and
support the University to be excellent in
Research and Teaching. In this sense our
efforts as an Office are like the threads which
must pass through the eye of the needle, the
different strands of work that must contribute
strategically to the University’s vision, mission
and plans for the future.
All this whirlwind of work must also be
documented, analysed, evaluated and
communicated. An evidence based approach
to our work is important if we as a University
are to improve our performance in relation to
Māori. The newsletter is one way in which our

TE TARI O TE TŪMUAKI MĀORI
Pro Vice-Chancellor Māori Office Overview
The Pro Vice-Chancellor Māori Office is committed to contributing to a
distinctive Waikato experience, building an excellent Māori student profile,
building staff research and capacity and connecting with communities.
Māori Staff representatives from around campus welcome new University Kaumātua from Ngāti Haua Rewi Rāpana.
All of our work in the Pro Vice-Chancellor Māori office is dedicated to developing
the University’s Māori capacity and distinctiveness.
We support the wider University in catering to the needs of primarily Māori students
by overseeing initiatives such as the Schools and Faculty based Māori mentoring
programme, the Te Toi o Matariki – graduate excellence programme, MAI ki Waikato
- the Māori PhD network, a programme of social cultural events and the suite of
Māori-focused university websites.
In regards to staff, we are coordinating or supporting programmes that target Māori
academic staff, Māori general staff, and non-Māori staff respectively. The Manu Ao
programme of workshops and seminars were well attended in A Semester and are a
good example of the staff development opportunities we coordinate.
It is also our aim to strengthen relationships with the wider community by
promoting and supporting Waikato and Kīngitanga-based events, coordinating
recruitment programmes, supporting Te Kohinga Mārama Marae and the iwi forum
of Te Rōpū Manukura and scoping the establishment of a Research Institute to serve
the research needs of Māori communities.

TE RŌPŪ MANUKURA
Iwi Partners to the University Council
Established by the late Sir Robert Mahuta in 1990, Te Rōpū Manukura is a
forum of 16 major iwi authorities of the central North Island. The terms
of reference for Te Rōpū Manukura provide that it is the Kaitiaki (guardian)
of the Treaty of Waitangi for the University of Waikato, and that it acts
to ensure that the University works in partnership with iwi to meet the
tertiary needs and aspirations of Māori communities.
Three meetings of Te Rōpū Manukura have been scheduled for 2008, and
there are currently 2 projects involving Te Rōpū Manukura:
MANU AO
Māori Academic Network across
Universities in Aotearoa is a Māori
academic networking and capability
building initiative is concerned with
sharing innovative teaching models,
increasing research participation
and productivity, academic career
acceleration, enhancing academic
collegiality, and building high levels
of scholarship. All eight New Zealand
Universities are participants in the
Manu Ao programme and central
coordination is provided by Massey
University.
Te Rōpū Manukura Student Internship Programme
The Te Rōpū Manukura Internship Programme involves placing postgraduate students into iwi
environments to undertake research. We are expecting that all 16 iwi will participate in the internship
programme. We will profile some of our interns in the next edition of Te Miro.
Scoping the Establishment of a Research Institute
The more strategic and long term Te Rōpū Manukura project concerns the establishment of a Research
Institute to support collaborative research between the University and iwi organisations.

There are three major strands to the
Waikato Manu Ao programme:
Ki a Kingi Tūheitia me te Kāhui Ariki
whānui tonu, nei rā te mihi, pai mārire.
Weekly video conference seminars:
These seminars are networked
nationally via video conferencing and
are designed to provide academic staff
with opportunities to share research
findings and innovative teaching
practices. Waikato’s presenters to
date have included Professor Ngāhuia
Te Awekotuku, Dr Robert Joseph, and
Professor Linda Smith.
Ki a rātou te hunga kua wairuatia,
Haere, haere, haere.
Schedule of workshops: The Waikato
Manu Ao programme is sponsoring
a seminar series “Rangahau Māori:
Future Directions” where Māori staff
and colleagues across the University
of Waikato will present their current
research interests and discuss future
research possibilities.
Te Kohinga Mārama Marae was opened in
November 1987 as part of Te Kura Toi Tangata
– School of Education, and it now serves as the
Marae of the wider University.
Staff collaborations: A contestable
fund has been made available to
Māori Academic staff. The purpose
of the contestable fund is to foster
and encourage collaboration of Māori
academic staff across Schools and
Faculty and to strengthen the teaching
and research of Māori academic staff.

The Kaiwhakahaere (manager) is Ray Gage.
The Marae is an integral part of the University. It is
a special place which should be accorded respect
by all users. Te Kohinga Mārama Marae remains a
focal point for the University staff, students and
the wider community. From 2008, the (PVCM)
office will be responsible for supporting the

There are three initiatives within the Te Toi o

The Pro Vice-Chancellor Māori office coordinates
a series of workshops and seminars aimed at
supporting students in their research and graduate
