The University of Auckland recently launched the fundraising campaign For All Our Futures to provide enhanced resources and strengthened capacity for us to ask audacious questions, and to be ambitious in our search for answers.
Our goal in the Faculty of Arts is to address some of the most complex challenges — and the greatest opportunities — of our time.
