Celebrating Spring in a new way at IPU New Zealand

SpringSymposium-header.jpg

The famous IPU New Zealand International Spring Festival is taking a break this year so we can prepare for an even larger festival in 2020 to celebrate our 30th Anniversary.  We are making the most of this opportunity by showing off our wonderful campus and the range of educational experience of our faculty.

Two separate spring related events will be held over two weeks. The first is a family picnic under the cherry blossom celebrating our tight knit community in a kiwi take on the classic Japanese Hanami. The second is a celebration of the important research being carried out by our faculty and students; a symposium day featuring speakers, workshops and cultural displays

Both of these new events celebrate the strengths of IPU New Zealand and we hope you will enjoy them as much as the Festival.
