Liam Grant Profile

"Within Aotahi, the School of Indigenous Studies, the tutors are extremely personable and passionate. They really support students to explore. When I first started I used to sit in the back of class and not make a squeak. But my mentors encouraged me to contribute in a way that I felt comfortable. I found myself challenging, questioning and participating in class. There are a lot of varied and unique personalities amongst the College of Arts lecturers. They’re all passionate about their areas of expertise, and they"re willing to support you personally. They notice you.That reinforces your faith in your own abilities. They aim to unlock the potential that they see in every individual."
