Dr Wood is keen to share with you the exciting developments and future direction for UC.

Dr Wood had a distinguished career in diplomatic service taking up Ambassador-level appointments to Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and twice to Washington DC. He was also New Zealand’s principal external trade and economic advisor and negotiator under successive governments. Dr Wood holds a BA Hons and MA Hons from the University of Canterbury before being awarded a BA Hons in Politics, Philosophy and Economics and later an MA Hons from Balliol College, Oxford. In 2006, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by University of Canterbury.

Register Now: Please register online here to join us. Numbers are limited so please register by Monday 2 July. Please note your buffet meal includes juice and soft drinks. There will be a cash bar available. The dress code is smart casual.

Rather than ask you to make a contribution to the event, we will ask you to consider making a donation towards a student scholarship.

Please forward this email to other UC alumni you are in contact with. Our new UC Alumni Hub is the best way for you to stay connected with UC. Make sure you are registered and we have your current email contact.

We hope you can join Chancellor John Wood, UC Foundation Trustee Mr SS John Wong, and me at one of our special events.

Warm regards
