Ma - ori Student Support The University of Otago is dedicated to the advancement of education among Mäori and has dedicated staff in most departments who act as department Mäori Liaison staff. The University also has the well-established Mäori Centre, which offers support services for all students of iwi descent. The Centre aims to encourage Mäori to participate and succeed in tertiary education.

The Business School has strong links to the University’s Mäori Centre and are able to pay special attention to Mäori students studying business through the services offered by our Kaiärahi and Kaiäwhina Mäori (Mäori student support officers). Their role is to make your time in the Business School as productive and successful as possible. Our staff can help you with any questions you may have regarding your academic studies or any other support you may need. They can also provide information about on-campus services available to students. This information includes: • Scholarships/Grants • Mentoring support • Student support groups • Welfare Advice • Iwi/ Community networks • Divisional support • Peer study groups • Supplementary tutorials • Study skills and exam preparation classes. Each department within the Business School has dedicated Mäori liaison staff, so if you have questions, need help, or want to meet other Mäori business students, help is never far away. In our teaching and research we are committed to developing a pro-active, co-ordinated approach to growing Mäori and Indigenous economies through a mix of relationship building, growing context aware students, curriculum development and seeking and realising research opportunities.
GRADUATE PROFILE Terere Aoake Marketing Co-ordinator -Te Puia BCom Te Puia New Zealand Mäori Arts and Crafts Institute marketing coordinatorTerere Aoake says a highly supportive learning environment that embraced various cultures not only made studying Marketing at Otago enjoyable, it also afforded numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. “Otago allowed me to meet people from all over the world through varied classes, clubs and groups.” In addition to playing touch rugby and playing and coaching netball Terere was part of Te Tai Tuara (The Commerce Mäori Student Group) which enabled her to meet Mäori students with similar goals. There were many opportunities for students to meet with tutors and lecturers to discuss lecture topics, providing a more in-depth understanding of the material covered. The Mäori Centre also offered extra tutorials when needed. “If I ever needed one-on-one support, they were always willing to find someone to help me.” Through the Business School’s Kaiawhina Mäori Terere was able to attend the 2010 Mäori Business Symposium in Queenstown. Mäori business men and women from around the country attended the symposium, which provided both inspiration and a great opportunity to network and view first-hand how many successful Mäori have reached their goals in the business world. Terere believes her Otago qualification was viewed very favourably by potential employers: “I was offered a contract after only my second interview!” “My first job out of university is as the marketing co-ordinator for Te Puia New Zealand Mäori Arts and Crafts Institute. I am based in Rotorua and work at one of the largest tourist attractions in New Zealand. I deal with advertising contracts and I work with the designers as well as the advertising agency. I get to work closely with media groups and also with people on different marketing, digital and communication strategies. “Otago offers the best education, social and life experiences.” 35
