Welcome

There is an added significance to this year’s graduation

ceremonies, with the University of Waikato marking

its 50th anniversary in 2014.

At our first graduation ceremony in 1967 there were

just 19 graduates. Now we congratulate more than

3,000 students each year.

While the numbers have changed, this is still an

unfailingly inspiring day. I am privileged to again be

included on what is a significant stage in your lives.

Today you join the growing list of graduates of this

University knowing that you possess a world-class

degree and the skills necessary to succeed in any

situation, anywhere in the world.

We congratulate you in the knowledge that 2014 will

forever remain a special year for both you and the

University of Waikato.

Rt Hon Jim Bolger ONZ

Chancellor

University of Waikato

Today marks an important milestone in the lives of

our graduands and their families and friends. It is the

culmination of all the hard work and long hours our

graduands have put into their studies.

Today also marks the beginning of the next stage of

their lives where our students get to put into practice

everything they have learned. It is undoubtedly an

exciting time. And while our graduates can be found

far and wide across the world, they always remain

part of the University of Waikato family. That family

reaches its own significant achievement this year,

celebrating its 50th anniversary.

So we celebrate both individually and collectively today

and just like any parents, the University of Waikato is

proud of the achievements of our graduates.

Professor Roy Crawford

Vice-Chancellor

University of Waikato

Honorary Doctorates

An Honorary Doctorate is the most prestigious award that the University of

Waikato can bestow. For their significant contribution to the University, the

Waikato region and the wider New Zealand community, the University is

pleased to award the following worthy recipients:


Fanfare

Pou Whenua

The Processional Fanfare for brass quintet and percussion was written

by Associate Professor Martin Lodge from the University of Waikato’s

Conservatorium of Music.

The ceremonial carved Maori mace being used in the Marae ceremony represents

the strong links between the University and Maori.

It was written to mark the University of Waikato’s

50th anniversary being celebrated throughout

2014. The work is original except for a snippet of

the popular graduation song Gaudeamus Igitur

(see page 55), inserted by Associate Professor

Lodge to acknowledge the great academic tradition

of universities in the western world.

The Processional Fanfare is played as the University

graduands and staff ceremonially enter the hall and

take the stage for graduation and it is anticipated

that the new fanfare will be played at University

of Waikato graduation ceremonies from now on.

In 1965, just a year after the University of Waikato

was established, Kīngitanga head Koroki invited

founding University of Waikato Chancellor and

Hamilton Mayor Denis Rogers, along with 20

University of Waikato graduates, to Tūrangawaewae

Marae in Ngaruawahia.

There he presented the fledgling institution with the

carved taonga to be used as ceremonial mace. The

piece was carved by master carver Piri Poutapu, who

established a carving school at Tūrangawaewae in

1932, and when not being used, it sits in pride of

place at the head of the University Council chamber.

Student Speaker: Kristie Elizabeth Baillie Qualification to be conferred – Bachelor of Social Sciences


A Brief History of the University

The University of Waikato had its genesis in 1956

when a small group of visionary individuals began

working towards founding a university for the

people of the South Auckland region.

A college, a sub-branch of Auckland University,

was established in 1959 and in 1965, after opening

its doors in 1964, the University of Waikato was

officially opened by the then Governor-General,

Sir Bernard Fergusson (later Lord Ballantrae).

From modest beginnings, on what was largely

farmland and with a handful of temporary buildings

and few staff, the University of Waikato now has

a student population of more than 12,000, with

nearly 4,000 graduating each year.

In 2014, as the University celebrates its 50th

anniversary, there are more than 1,500 academic

and professional staff and in the next two years its

contribution to the economy is expected to reach

the $1 billion mark.

The University is recognised for its strong research

and teaching and has forged productive international

links with more than 110 universities.

THE CAMPUS

Our Hamilton campus, with grounds covering 65

hectares, continues to be a source of community

pride. The grounds include sports fields, walkways,

three lakes, extensive gardens and more than

6,000 trees.

At the end of 2011, we opened the new

$30million Student Centre which houses the

library, computers, meeting and relaxation

spaces. It has a 5 Green Star rating from the

New Zealand Green Building Council, recognising

the environmental and sustainable features of the

building’s design. The conception and completion

of the Student Centre is a further demonstration

of our commitment to the delivery of a world-

class education while providing our students with

a dynamic student experience.

This will be enhanced with the building in 2014 and

2015 of a Law and Management building.

The University of Waikato has a campus at Tauranga

and a strong relationship with the Bay of Plenty

Polytechnic, Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi

and Waiariki Polytechnic.

The University of Waikato Vision

is to offer:

» Excellence – to provide world-

class teaching and research.

» Distinctiveness –

to have a unique place

in tertiary education.

» International connectedness –

to be benchmarked against

the best.

To achieve this we invest in the best people

in every role, the best facilities and the best

systems and structures which allow us to

operate a financial model that is sustainable.

Our Vision


World Rankings

Our Commitment

The University of Waikato is committed to creating

and building knowledge for the future. We deliver a

world-class education and research portfolio within

a dynamic and distinctive university environment

with strong international connections.

The University of Waikato/Te Whare Wānanga o

Waikato plays an essential leadership role in the

prosperity of our region and our country.

We are a New Zealand institution that looks at

the world from a New Zealand perspective. We

sit at the heart of a community of strong regional

partnerships and take pride in the extent to which

we reflect and serve the strengths and interests of

our region.

We are also an international university. We

consciously measure our performance against

internationally established criteria, and our teachers,

researchers and students inspire, and are inspired

by, an international community of scholars.

We are committed to the recruitment and retention

of world-class staff who excel at teaching, research

and management in areas that are of particular

strategic value to New Zealand. We pursue a

research and research-management strategy that

supports our country's nation-building policies

and promises a generous return in terms of our

nation's identity and the wealth and wellbeing of

New Zealanders.

We adhere to the concept of a university education

that is, by definition, research-led. Through

sustained research intensity and the attraction of

high levels of external research funding from public

sector and industry sources, we aim to maintain a

highly competitive research profile.

We are committed to meaningful partnerships

under the Treaty of Waitangi and to providing

leadership in research, scholarship and education

relevant to the needs and aspirations of iwi and

Māori communities.

We have developed, or are in the process of

developing, world-class research platforms that

take us through the research pipeline from discovery

to application and commercialisation. Sustainability

in all its forms – environmental, economic, social

and cultural – is a strong emerging theme in many

of these research platforms.

By its nature, sustainability is future-focused and

rooted in new ways of thinking and new ways of

tackling old problems. The University of Waikato

is proud to lay claim to leading the way to a

sustainable future.

THE Top 50 universities under 50 years oldThe University of Waikato is ranked in the top 50 universities under 50 years old by the influential UK-based Times Higher Education.

Updated rankings were released in May 2014, placing the University of Waikato at 44th in the world – two positions better than when the rankings were last released in 2013 and 14 places higher than the 2012 ranking. The list is an offshoot of the Times Higher Education's (THE) World University Rankings and used the same indicators for judging including research, citations and teaching.

Five subject areas ranked in top 150 worldwideFive subject areas taught at the University of Waikato have been assessed as being among the top 150 worldwide, with one – Education – ranked 46th in the world.

The other four, all ranked from 101-150, are Modern Languages, Economics and Econometrics, Law and Computer Science and Info Systems.

The QS Subject Rankings, released in February 2014, assessed nearly 800 universities around the world on the quality of 30 different subject areas.

The QS rankings are generally considered among the most influential of university ranking systems and are based on academic and employer surveys, research citations for each subject area, the ratio of students to staff and the number of international students and staff at the university.


Ceremonial Traditions

Elements of university graduation ceremonies have evolved from the 12th century

when the first universities emerged in Europe.

The organisation of medieval universities was

modelled on the established institutions of the

day – the church, the monastery and the guild.

Latin was the language used by medieval scholars,

and it is from Latin that the words ‘university’ and

‘degree’ are derived. The Latin term universitas

means a guild or union, and universities started as

a scholastic guild – a self-constituted community

of teachers and scholars.

The word graduate comes from the Latin word

gradus, which means step. Admission to study a

bachelors degree was the first step taken towards

completing a university education. The second step

was to become a ‘master’. Masters were Master

of Arts graduates whose degrees licensed them to

teach. The Chancellor, an officer of the cathedral,

originally granted teaching licences.

CEREMONIAL ROBES AND

ACADEMIC DRESS

In the Middle Ages the corporate existence of

universities was recognised and sanctioned by

civil or ecclesiastical authority. The regalia worn

by graduates and university staff today reflect

this mix of medieval governance. Robes worn by

the Chancellor resemble those worn by the Lord

Chancellor of England. Graduates and academic

staff wear gowns similar to the dress of medieval

clergy. Hoods are also fashioned on an everyday

medieval garment, although the coloured lining was

a later addition to indicate the wearer’s university

and degree.

O ngā Iwi mātou rā

Āta whakarongona;

Me aroha noa

Kia hua ko te pai;

In the bonds of love we meet

Hear our voices we entreat

God defend our free land

Guard Pacific’s Triple Star

From the shafts of strife and war

Make her praises heard afar

God defend New Zealand

After the burden of old age

The earth will have us

Long live the University!

Long live every member

Long live all the members

May they ever flourish
