Zachary Katene Qualification to be conferred: Bachelor of Management Studies with Honours with First Class Honours/Bachelor of Laws with Honours with First Class Honours Encouraged by his wife and family members, Zac decided to enrol in a management and law degree in 2011. He wasn’t sure if he would be any good, but has since surprised himself with multiple achievements throughout his university career, including winning the 2016 Māori Moot Competition and the 2016 Australian Negotiation Competition. He became the academic officer of Te Whakahiapo, the Māori Law Students’ Association, and helped out first and second year students as a Māori mentor for the law school. His university highlight was receiving first class honours in both law and management, an ambitious goal he never expected to achieve. Zac scored a summer internship at Simpson Grierson, where he will return to start his full-time job in February.

Among a long list of awards, Danielle won the New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays Sir Don Llewellyn Scholarship and the 2015 Zespri Innovation Fellowship, contributing to her masters research on the development of flavour in G3 kiwifruit. She became involved with many aspects of university life, including the science club, netball and football teams, and laboratory demonstrations. Danielle was also involved with the launch of the Waikato University Science Students’ Association in 2016, as external relations manager. Danielle now works as a laboratory technician, and is looking forward to travelling overseas before returning to university to study her PhD.
