"Leading the way" Campaign

Our first major University-wide Campaign was launched in November 2008, following on from the very successful “World-Class Business School” campaign.  In April 2011 we exceeded the Campaign target of $150 million and will continue to raise funds to support vital research and key projects until the Campaign ends in 2012.

The key objective of the Campaign is to help us build a world-class university in New Zealand by generating the resources needed to attract and retain the best people, and capitalise on the best ideas.

Great ideas are evident all over our University – but we cannot be all things to all people, and we cannot expect to achieve breakthrough results in every discipline. In consultation with our stakeholders we have identified five key areas where, in partnership with philanthropic support, The University of Auckland is best placed to make important contributions and lead the way to a better world. 

• The Health of Our Nation.
• The Development of Our Children.
• The Growth of Our Economy.
• The Future of Our Cities.
• The Expression of Who We Are. 

These are the key areas in which we seek support through this Campaign.
