Support for Pasifika education Vaaiga Maiava First university in New Zealand to accept Samoan language to be taught in its programme. One of the first Pacific Island students to have graduated in the 21^st century. Tremendous support—financially and academically—I received from Victoria Uni during my studies (1995–1999). Thank you for that support.
Getting a second chance at education Pat McKinlay As a very mature student I have great memories of mixing (both within classes and socially) with the ‘young brigade’. For a few years I was able to live a life that I had missed out on as a 20-year-old. I also cherish the period as one of getting a second chance at education.
Graduation as a distance student Annette Delugar My fondest memory of my studies at the postgraduate School of Nursing and Midwifery at Victoria University of Wellington was my graduation. In particular, the capping ceremony at the Michael Fowler Centre. As a distance education student, this was my most poignant memory.
