Since its inception in 2009, Kīngitanga Day is a unique opportunity to experience the cultural richness of the University. A day that is designed with the express purpose of bringing together University staff and students, and engaging the community in a welcoming, inclusive and inspiring experience. Central activities focus on the relationships with the Kīngitanga and with Māori communities in reflecting the diversity of the University of Waikato and its various expressions of excellence across all areas.
