NUS Management held an onboarding meeting with the Technical Advisors (TAs) to commence the development of the NUS Workforce Plan for the next five years.

This important initiative is funded through the Samoa–Australia Tautua Partnership and aims to strengthen workforce planning, enhance organizational capacity, and support the long-term strategic goals of NUS.

The onboarding session provided an opportunity for Management and the TAs to align expectations, discuss key priorities, and establish a collaborative approach for the successful development of a workforce plan that meets the future needs of the University.

🎉Congratulations to NUS Chief Operating Officer (COO) Leota Sarai Faleupolu Tevita on her successful participation in the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (NZMFAT) Manaaki Scholarship Pacific Public Sector Leadership – Senior Level Short-Term Training Programme, held in Wellington, New Zealand, from 4–15 May 2026.

Funded by the New Zealand Government through its International Development Cooperation Programme and delivered by Kāpuhipuhi Wellington Uni-Professional, a subsidiary of Victoria University of Wellington, the programme brought together senior public sector leaders from across the Pacific to strengthen leadership capability and enhance governance and institutional effectiveness.

The training focused on developing strategic leadership skills, improving public sector performance, and supporting better service delivery outcomes across participating countries. The knowledge and insights gained through this programme will contribute to the ongoing capacity development efforts of NUS and support the strengthening of university leadership, strategic management, and operational excellence.

NUS acknowledges the Government of New Zealand and NZMFAT for this valuable professional development opportunity and remains committed to fostering strong leadership that drives innovation, accountability, and quality service delivery in higher education.

Representatives from Konoike Construction, Mr. Sadao Yamaoka and Mr. Jun Mizutani, paid a productive visit to the National University of Samoa (NUS) today as part of ongoing preparations for the upcoming construction of the Faculty of Health Science Building project on campus. The primary focus of the visit was to inspect and secure a suitable laydown area for the project. The team also worked closely with University representatives, PSM Director Mr Tuala Amerika Siale and Planning Manager Mr Vaelupemaua Jr Uatisone to confirm access to essential utilities, including water and electricity supply, which are critical for the commencement of construction activities. In addition, discussions were held regarding the establishment of a temporary site office that will support project operations during the construction phase.

The visit marks a significant step forward in the planning process, with both parties collaborating to ensure all logistical requirements are in place ahead of construction. Looking ahead, an official groundbreaking ceremony is anticipated to take place in July. Further discussions will be held to finalize arrangements and confirm a date for this event. Construction works are currently expected to begin in August, signaling the start of an exciting new development for the University community.

NUS looks forward to continuing its partnership with Konoike Construction and to witnessing the progress of this important project in the coming months.

The specialised training on Internet Exchange Point (IXP) Configuration, Administration, and Deployment, jointly hosted by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and the National University of Samoa (NUS).

The training was delivered by Internet Society (ISOC) IXP expert Warren Finch and APNIC trainer Dave Phelan, and was designed for key stakeholders within Samoa’s internet ecosystem, including Internet Service Providers (ISPs), network operators, content providers, academia, and other organisations committed to strengthening Samoa’s national and regional internet infrastructure.

This initiative represents an important first step in building local technical capacity to support the establishment and operation of an Internet Exchange Point in Samoa. Participants gained knowledge and practical skills in IXP configuration, administration, and deployment, while ISPs were introduced to peering arrangements that will enable local internet traffic to remain within Samoa.

By facilitating local traffic exchange, an IXP can improve internet performance, reduce latency, enhance resilience, and lower connectivity costs for internet users across the country.

Participants attended from MCIT, Vodafone Samoa, Digicel Samoa, the Samoa Submarine Cable Company, and the National University of Samoa.

The week-long programme consisted of two days of theoretical training followed by three days of hands-on technical exercises conducted at the National Data Centre.

We acknowledge and appreciate the leadership of MCIT in driving this important initiative, the collaboration and support of NUS, and the valuable technical expertise and knowledge sharing provided by APNIC and ISOC. Together, these efforts contribute significantly to advancing Samoa’s digital transformation and strengthening its internet infrastructure for the benefit of all Samoans.
