HOW TO APPLY

Tītohu TūroaSustainability showcase 2023

The 2023 Showcase, run during UC's 150th Anniversary Celebrations and the Alumni Weekend, focussed on UC's teaching to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. UC Academics from across all faculties created posters with examples of their SDG-related teaching and explained to interested alumni and visitors how the skills and knowledge gained in their courses equip students to work towards realising the Goals.

See the posters here (PDF, 8.8 MB).
