THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO2

Welcome

It is always a pleasure to be part of the University of Waikato

graduation ceremonies acknowledging the hard work and

successes of our graduates. Equally enjoyable is seeing the

pride of whānau and friends, many of whom travel a long way

to join us for graduation.

Some of you will have decided to stay with us to study for higher

degrees, but many of you will be leaving the region, and possibly

the country, to embark on new careers. I hope that you depart

with fond memories of your university years, and prepared for

a fulfilling future.

What you have learned during your time at Waikato, in and

outside lectures and tutorials, will stay with you, not just in your

work, but in your day-to-day lives as you face new and exciting

challenges. I wish you well.

Rt Hon Jim Bolger ONZ

Chancellor

University of Waikato

It gives me great pleasure to be part of graduation ceremonies on Te

Kohinga Mārama Marae and at Claudelands. Graduation reminds

us of the hard work, focus and achievements of our students, and

the contributions of those who have provided financial, physical

and emotional support for them along the way.

Some of you will be the first in your family to graduate from

university, and perhaps you have started a new family trend, while

others of you will be upholding a long tradition of tertiary study.

Whatever your background, you have travelled a path that has

allowed you to explore new ideas, exposed you to the frontiers of

research in your major area of study, and provided you with skills

and knowledge that will serve you well in future employment and

contributions to society. Congratulations to you all.

Wherever you go, I would encourage you to stay connected with

your university friends and your alma mater, by visiting us online,

attending University and alumni events and coming back to visit if

you have the chance.

Professor Neil Quigley

Vice-Chancellor

University of Waikato

MAURICE MOREHU NGATOKO RAHIPERE

CONFERRED TUESDAY 20 OCTOBER 2.00PM

Ka hia nei ngā tau ko Morehu Ngatoko Rahipere MNZM tērā e whakapau ana i ōna kaha, mō tana iwi te take.

Nō ngā hapū o Ngāti Rangi, o Ngāi Tamarāwaho; nō Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāi Te Rangi o Tauranga Moana, Tauranga Tangata, Tauranga Mana taea noatia a Ngāti Awa. He Tumu Kōrero rongonui ia kua roa nei tāna hei Tumu here i the waka tangata.

Kāore he whakaaro a te kaumātua nei mōna ake ēngari mō te oranga, te painga o te marea tāna whakapito ngoi. Hīkaka ana ki te hirahira o te mātauranga hei huarahi e whai tinana ai ngā wawata a te tangata. Ko ia hoki tētehi o ngā whakaihu waka o ngā kaupapa huhua a Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, tae atu ana ki te whakatūnga o Te Maharaia Winiata Research Institute i Tauranga.

Ko ia anō tērā hei Pou o te hōtaka rangahau mai i Te Kura Toi Tangata, e kiia nei ko Te Kotahitanga, nāna te arataki i te tohutohu ahurea ki ngā take Māori, kia tūturu tau hoki te haumaru o te ‘Miro Mā’ ki te horopaki o te ‘Miro Pango’.

Kei a ia hoki te mauroa o ngā herenga i a Ngāti Ranginui me Te Kīngitanga, he tohu anō ki tōna mana rangatiratanga.

Kei ngā tōpito o te ao tōrangapū te mārama ki taua mana. Ko ia rā anō tētehi o ngā rangatira nāna te whakahokinga o te tupuna ā-maunga o Mauao ki ngā mana whenua o Tauranga Moana, Ko ana pukenga, ko ana mātauranga, ko ana mōhiotanga e manaaki nei i te mauri, i te mana, i te tapu o reira. Ko ia hoki te poutaki i tana iwi i a Ngāti Ranginui ki te whakataunga o tōna Take Raupatu i te Āperire o 2012.

Nō te tau 2007 Ka whakahōnoretia ia ki te New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) mō ana tākoha ki te Iwi Māori. Inārā ia nei, ka hia nei ngā tau ko Morehu Ngatoko Rahipere MNZM tērā e whakapau ana i ōna kaha, mō tana Iwi, he oti rā mō Tauranga Moana te take, ka tīhē te mauri ora.

Morehu Ngatoko Rahipere, MNZM, has spent decades working for his people.

He can whakapapa to Ngāi Tamarawaho, Ngāti Rangi hapu of Ngāti Ranginui, and Ngāi Te Rangi, two of the principal tribes from the Tauranga Moana region, and including Ngāti Awa – is an acknowledged leader, an exponent of tribal lore and narratives and a man of mana who is able to draw his people together.

Mr Ngatoko Rahipere is an example of someone who selflessly gives of his time and skills for the public good, is passionate about the role and power of education to enable people to meet their aspirations and has led many initiatives linked to the University of Waikato, including the establishment of the Maharaia Winiata Research Institute in Tauranga.

He was deeply involved in the Te Kotahitanga research programme established under Te Kura Toi Tangata Faculty of Education, providing strong cultural guidance while keeping those who were not Māori culturally safe in their research.

Mr Ngatoko Rahipere is a staunch advocate of the long standing relationship between Ngāti Ranginui and the Kingitanga, which recognises his outstanding leadership and knowledge.

He has led by example in many areas and holds enormous respect across the political spectrum. He was one of a team instrumental in advancing the return of Mauao (Mount Maunganui) to the people and his expertise and knowledge in tikanga and kawa, has ensured the mountain is protected and its cultural integrity is maintained. He provided strong leadership to his Iwi Ngati Ranginui as they navigated toward Raupatu Settlement in April, 2012.

In 2007 he became a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for services to Māori and over many years has given exemplary service to his community of Tauranga Moana.

Honorary Doctorates

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

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

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

pleased to award the following worthy recipient:


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 Māori mace being used in the Marae ceremony

represents the strong links between the University and Māori.

It was written in 2014 to mark the University of

Waikato’s 50th anniversary. 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.

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, including

nearly 1,800 postgraduate students. Each year

about 4,000 students graduate.

In 2015, the University has nearly 1500 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

$30 million 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 further enhanced by the new Law

and Management building which will be open to

students early next year.

Planning has already begun for a new campus in

downtown Tauranga.

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.

We are proud to be ranked 338 in the world by

the QS (Quacquarelli Symonds Limited) World

University Rankings 2015. This sees a climb in

the rankings of over 60 places from 2014 in

which we were ranked 405 in the world. Our

university stands proudly on the world stage

as an institution that provides a future-focused

international education and plays an active

part in global research. Last year QS ranked

10 subjects taught at Waikato in the top 200

in the world.

Our rankings are a reflection of our strengths

as a university. Our ability to challenge, inspire

and prepare our students to be future-leaders.

It is a recognition of our research that is

tackling global issues.

It’s an acknowledgement of our academic staff

who are committed to constantly improving on

the education that they offer to our students.

This commitment has shaped the thousands of

Waikato University graduates who are sought

after by employers all over the world.

Times Higher Education ranks the University of

Waikato 61st out of 100 “most international”

universities in the world. This ranking reflects

the truly global education that is received by

students studying at Waikato. It also takes

into account the ratio of international staff

and students on campus and the proportion

of research papers being generated with an

international co-author.


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.
