STudio We’re STUDiO, a student association run by Design and Architecture students, for Design and Architecture students. STUDiO aims to ensure that students have access to the resources and information they require, as well as opportunities to immerse themselves in their field, through competitions and events. STUDiO organises recreational activities throughout the year; we think that it’s important for students to let off steam from time to time. Whether it’s one of our free barbecues, student drinks, or the Architecture and Design Ball in August, there’s something for everyone. STUDiO events are affordable for all students to attend (bring your friends from Kelburn, Pipitea, and Karori) and are always good fun. As well as running events, STUDiO also negotiates student discounts with local businesses, and can subsidise entry fees if you’re interested in attending a design or architecture related conference or competition. You’re already a member, so you can capitalise on these benefits and opportunities whenever it suits you.
We will be running various events throughout the year, and on March 15th, we will welcome you ‘Island style’ with our yearly gathering! Watch this space for what we have in store for your voyage this year. Find us during clubs week, and come sign up and have some sapasui. Add us on Facebook and look out for more exciting events. You’re welcome to come in and enjoy a cuppa with us anytime at Pasifika Haos, 15 Mount St, Kelburn. We are committed to success, committed to equity/ equality, committed to serving you and community at large. We look forward to being a part of your journey here at Victoria! email: pasifika@myvuw.ac.nz phone: 04 463 6242 text: 021 207 4733

Postgraduate Students' Association Hello gentle Salient reader! It is my pleasure to introduce you to the Postgraduate Students' Association - you may call us PGSA. We are the representative body for postgrads at Victoria. "But wait!" I hear you say, "I am studying Honours". Well, how convenient, because we work for all students studying at 400-level or above. Not only do we represent you on various University committees, but we also provide great events, both social and academic. The best way for us to get to know each other a little better is for you to visit our shiny new website: www.vuwpgsa.ac.nz. We look forward to seeing more of you! Hugs and kisses, PGSA.
