Māia Centre aims to help Māori students develop a strong desire and passion to succeed at life and work. While most student support services are located at various places around campus, Māia aims to provide a ‘one-stop-centre’ for Māori Students in the hope that we can help advance and encourage the participation, retention and success of all Māori students enrolled at Unitec.
In particular, the Centre provides:
- Academic Development
- Counselling Service
- Cultural Support
- Māori Community Liaison
- Financial/Scholarship Assistance
The strength that Māia provides for students and staff encompasses manawanui, love and compassion, as well as toa, physical strength, maia, spiritual strength, and kaha, emotional and intellectual strength.
