Networking opportunities

ACG City Campus hosted The University of Auckland (UoA) International Office and Admissions staff at a Meet and Greet on Thursday 9 May. The visit started with a tour of the ACG City Campus to provide The UoA staff an opportunity to meet key ACG marketing, admissions and NZIC academic  staff, and see the Campus in operation.

On Saturday 30 March eleven students from ACG City Campus went to visit the open sanctuary on Tiritiri Matangi Island with Mr Hodges. After several last minute lunch purchases from Subway and a relatively calm one hour ferry ride from Auckland, they arrived on the Island and headed north for a guided tour. Scenery was spectacular but the birds seem to be keeping the same morning hours as most of our students and sightings were sparse until near the northern end of the main track they encountered a family of Takahe at close quarters (7th most endangered bird in the world).

Mr Hu, the Consul for the Consulate General of the P.R. of China in Auckland visited ACG City Campus on Tuesday 12 March. First, Mr Hu was provided a guided tour of the Campus by Mr Haines.

After the tour, Mr Hu spoke to a group of students from the University of Auckland and AUT foundations programmes and English School about the benefits and challenges of studying away from home.
