Neil will also cover the importance of education, to our region and the economy in a post Covid-19 world, and his aspiration to transform Hamilton to a ‘University-led’ city.
Neil has been Vice-Chancellor of the University of Waikato since 2015. Since his appointment, he has led substantial change designed to improve the quality of teaching and research, align staffing with the challenges of the modern tertiary environment, and increase engagement with communities around the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and central North Island regions.
