MANU AO Academy

A National Inter-University Māori Academy for Academic and Professional Advancement

Karanga te pō! Karanga te ao!
E rere atu nā taku manu korihi, Kawea ake ana e koe te kupu kōrero
E rarau ki te mātārae o taringa areare, o ngutu atamai
Ki konā koe tangi mai ai, korokī mai ai, He kura nō ngā huihuinga iwi o te motu
Piki mai, kake mai!

The MANU AO Academy has three main objectives: Accelerating Māori leadership; Strengthening the links between Māori Academics and Māori Professionals and Advancing Māori scholarship

MANU AO involves a series of weekly seminars, 'named' lectures, leaders' workshops, leadership course's, academic fora, symposia, scholarship research, Monday motivationals and other related activities, including University campus-based Chapter programmes.

MANU AO is supported by the NZ Vice-Chancellors' Committee (NZVCC) in association with all eight NZ universities. Its Māori Committee, Te Kahui Amokura, acts as the governance entity for this three-year Tertiary Education Commission-funded programme. Click on the link to to view a PDF presentation  MANU AO Presentation (461 KB)
