OPSITARA Research
Welcome to another issue of our magazine. We hope you enjoy reading this selection of stories about research by our kaimahi (staff) and ākonga (learners) within rohe 4 | region 4 of Te Pūkenga.
Currently I am a member of a working group contributing to the design of what our rangahau and research support services might look like, not just in our rohe but across Te Pūkenga, and we are looking forward to working more collaboratively with our colleagues.
