Te Hui Whakapūmau is an official university graduation ceremony based on tikanga Māori (Māori cultural practices). Usually, this event is held at our university marae, however, redevelopment work being undertaken in that area means that for May 2023 the ceremony will be held in the 'Hub' at the Kelburn Campus.
