If you haven’t heard yet, we’re now the number one university in New Zealand for the international impact and influence of our academic research. 🥇 As a result, we’ve jumped up 42 places to 331 in the 2023 QS World University Rankings. ⬆️ Our Blue/Green Tech Lab in Tauranga is a flagship collaboration that highlights some of the many cool research projects we work on. It's the region’s first university research and development lab, bringing together research in marine specialties and other science disciplines including robotics, engineering, information technology and horticulture. It’s a space for university staff and students to engage with industry and the local community, as well as growing capability in Tauranga across cutting edge technology to meet real needs. Our Blue/Green lab is just one example of how we’re committed to research and making a real difference to our community and local industry. 👩‍🔬 More information about the lab 👉 https://www.waikato.ac.nz/news-opinion/media/2022/bluegreen-tech-lab-opens-in-tauranga. 📷 Thomas Carnahan (Master of Engineering student) with the kiwifruit E-Bin. 📷 Ben Jackson (PhD in Engineering) using a metal 3D printer for selective laser melting. #KoTeTangata #ForThePeople #QS #QSWUR #University #HigherEducation #UniversityLife #Uni #TopUnis @universityofwaikatotauranga @wuengineering

Does this face look familiar? Meet Rodney Arnold. 👋 Based on our Hamilton campus, Rodney has been working with us at the University for over 19 years. He loves looking after our resident students. When asked what he enjoys most about his role, he says "helping to create a positive environment." In his spare time, Rodney enjoys reading and spending time with his three grandchildren. If you spot Rodney with his furry friend Molly around campus, don't be afraid to say "hi!" Keep up the great mahi Rodney! 🙌 #ForThePeople #KoTeTangata #Meethestaffthursday #MeetTheStaff #MeetOurTeam #WeAreWaikato #WaikatoUni #WaikatoUniversity #Aotearoa #NewZealand
