A total of 769 students will graduate in two ceremonies held at the Michael Fowler Centre.
Nearly 800 students from Massey’s Wellington campus will cross the stage to enjoy their moment of glory on 20 April, kicking off the university’s first graduation event for 2021.
This is the first official graduation held by Massey in Wellington since the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions forced 2020 graduates to celebrate in absentia.
A total of 769 students will graduate in two ceremonies held at the Michael Fowler Centre, including 75 receiving master’s degrees and nine receiving doctoral degrees.
Out of the nine doctoral graduates, three will graduate with a Doctor in Clinical Psychology for research on diverse topics, including the experiences of young stroke survivors, brain injury treatment and masculinity in ageing.
The Ones to Watch programme has landed in New Zealand, providing up and coming musicians with a platform for their work and an opportunity to showcase their music to a wide range of audiences. The Spinoff talks to emerging artists RIIKI and Park Rd about where they’ve come from, and where 2020 has taken them.
RIIKI is one to watch. She’s in the final year of a commercial music degree, she’s got four bright pop singles out, and she’s been playing to crowds since high school. As far as 20-year-old up-and-comers go, she’s coming up with a lot of experience.
