Orientation Tauranga campus 24 - 28 February 2020 15The Waikato Students’ Union has been around for over 50 years,
working hard to ensure that students have a social safety net
through Student Support and Advocacy; that the Student
Experience is more than just studying, and that you have a
broad network of clubs, societies and rōpū to engage with.
Most importantly though, we work to make sure your Voice
is heard at the highest level.
Student
Experience
The WSU presence in Tauranga is growing with
the new campus, so naturally the WSU network
of clubs and ropu will grow too. The great thing
about the WSU clubs is that they are a student
driven initiative which means if you want to start
a club or even a Tauranga chapter of an existing
Hamilton club then all you need to do is get in
touch with Kat@wsu.org.nz or clubs@wsu.org.nz
and we will help you create something that suits
your hobbies or interests. We will even pay a small
grant to get you started.
Student Support
+ Advocacy
Unlike other places where the student support
network can be several different people in

or a statistic, we have Kat. Sure, she is backed
up by a team in Hamilton with over 50 years
