Demosson then completed a Tertiary Foundation Certificate at the University of Auckland, which enables students who didn’t gain UE a chance to learn the necessary skills for studying at a tertiary level. Now in his first year of studying conjoint bachelors degrees in Arts and Commerce, Demosson will be the first in his family to gain a university qualification. Thanks to the Alumni Scholarship for Tertiary Foundation Certificate Students, he was able to move from Papakura into an apartment in the city centre. The scholarship also alleviates his concerns about paying for basic needs. “It gives me a sense of security in case any emergencies come up. When you’re worried about financial concerns, you’re not going to find it easy to focus on studying.”

“ I asked one of my lecturers why most people like her and me, who were raised in a harsh environment, cannot make it out of the cycle of poverty. She replied: ‘they are the rule, and we are the exception’.”

Demosson, who is of Dutch and Cook Island Māori heritage, says that growing up in an area where not many people complete tertiary study means From surviving to thriving that there are limited role models for students who need them most. Growing up in a small town with limited job prospects, Demosson Metu knew pursuing a university education was his ticket to limitless opportunities. “I think a lot of people who grow up in situations the future, who will be at high school once he similar to mine have this mindset that they can’t do graduates. more for themselves.

In 2020 there were 18 generous gifts received from legacy donors, to support research and students across faculties and disciplines. One was from a US- based alumnus, Dr James Fawcett, who had a passion for herpetology – the study of amphibians and reptiles – and a special interest in the tuatara. His gift will support research into some of New Zealand’s unique species, many of them considered at risk. “New Zealand has an extraordinary endemic Tuatara at Zealandia ecosanctuary herpetofauna, including the iconic tuatara, more Photo by Judi Lapsley Miller, sourced from Wikicommons than 110 lizard species (skinks and gecko) and less than a handful of frog species,” says Professor “Our students have been involved in a variety of Allen Rodrigo, Head of the School of Biological research on our herpetofauna, including assessing World-first approach Sciences. the critical role that geckos play in pollination, Professor Justin O’Sullivan (left) “None are found anywhere else in the world, and evaluating the impact of habitat disturbance and Professor Merryn Tawhai most share unusual, distinctive features, such on lizards and understanding the gut microbes to tackling lung disease as live birth, resistance to low temperatures, associated with gecko.” low reproductive rates, small clutch sizes, and This generous legacy gift from the late James A unique study combining expertise from two world-leading research institutes at increased longevity.
