HOW TO APPLY

Ƶapp Vice-Chancellor Professor Cheryl de la Rey said of the team partnership: “The Ƶapp is committed to gender equity and social inclusion, and we are proud to support South Island wāhine competing under the Super Rugby banner. It is pleasing to see nearly a quarter of Ѳٲū contracted so far are UC-educated wāhine, paving the way for future generations.”   

UC’s Kaihautū Taunaki Tangata, Director – Equity and Business Management, Rīpeka Tamanui-Hurunui added: “At UC, we value whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and tiakitanga, which are about valuing, empowering and caring for people and nurturing our resources. The principles of ‘Kia tika, kia pono, kia aroha – doing what is right with integrity and empathy’ underpin our values. Given what we stand for, supporting Ѳٲū is something we are proud to do, and is a positive step on the journey of building a more equitable Ōtautahi, and wider Aotearoa.”
