OPSITARA Research
Welcome to another issue of our e-magazine showcasing a mix of staff and student research. As we continue our research mainly online, both staff and students are still available to partner with you to further your research initiatives. Start a conversation with us if we might be able to help you.
Congratulations to Ema Tokolahi who was one of the recipients of a 2019 Research Excellence Award as an Emerging Researcher. Ema is a Lecturer in Occupational Therapy based in Hamilton. Ema is growing into a research leadership role, already supervising Masters students. This year she successfully applied to bring Prof Susan Bazyk to New Zealand and to Otago Polytechnic as a Fulbright Scholar. Well done Ema and thank you.
