Te Rōpū Āwhina
Te Rōpū Āwhina (Āwhina) is the on-campus whānau for Māori and Pacific students enrolled in degrees and majors within
the eight Schools that comprise the Faculties of Science, Engineering, Architecture and Design at Victoria University of
Wellington (VUW). The goal (kaupapa) of Āwhina is to produce Māori and Pacific scientists, technologists, engineers,
mathematicians, architects and designers who will contribute to Māori and Pacific development and leadership.
Underpinning Āwhina's successes is its kaupapa and the creation of an inclusive whānau environment where high
expectations, aspirations and achievements, collective success and reciprocity are normalised. The Āwhina kaupapa
enables non Māori and Pacific students to contribute as whānau members.
