OPSITARA Research
Kia ora and Happy New Year!
At Christmas we were very sorry to farewell Prof Leoni Schmidt, who has been a strong supporter and advocate for research at Otago Polytechnic for many years. I have stepped into her Director's role, and retain my existing responsibilities as Director for rangahau Māori.
We hope that the research we report in this e-magazine will include something relevant to your own practice that you can use, or inspire you to partner with our staff or students on something new this year.
