If you've walked past the murals around the Hamilton campus and wondered about the stories behind them, you might want to visit the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts The Campus as Canvas exhibition.

Featuring past Boon on Campus artists, it dives into six of campus's most-loved murals: the artists, the processes, the late nights, the meaning behind every wall.

Familiar walls but new stories. It is worth the visit if you haven't been in yet 👀

🌏 South Asia, what a journey!

From Mumbai, Hyderabad and New Delhi to Dhaka and Colombo, our South Asia Open Day series brought the University of Waikato closer to students, families and education partners across the region. 🇮🇳🇧🇩🇱🇰

The turnout was incredible — with inspiring conversations, curious future students and plenty of questions about studying, scholarships, careers and life in New Zealand. 🎓✨

But it wasn’t just about meeting students. These events were also an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with our valued agent partners, share insights and build stronger connections that support students on their journey to Waikato.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their aspirations and helped make each event such a success. 🙌

📸 Here’s a look back at some of the moments from the road.
South Asia, we’ll see you again! 🌏

A wonderful day of culture, connection and plenty of new experiences! 🌸🇯🇵
