VUW Alumni Reception in New York

We are delighted to invite Victoria University of Wellington alumni to a reception in New York on Thursday 23 October.

The Vice-Chancellor will do an update on University news and share stories of the extraordinary staff, students and alumni making a difference at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington.

This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with fellow graduates, former classmates, and friends. There will be time for Q&A, as well as plenty of space to socialise and network over refreshments. Former study abroad and exchange students are warmly encouraged to attend.

This year we are asking for a contribution of NZ$30 per person (approx US$18) to attend the event. Every dollar raised through tickets will go directly to the University’s Student Hardship Fund, helping students who are struggling to afford essentials like rent, food, and power. With rising living costs and fewer part-time jobs in Wellington, many students face difficult choices between essentials and study. Let’s come together to give back and ensure no student is left behind due to financial hardship.

Nau mai, haere mai—we look forward to connecting with you.
