Massey University --- Te
Kunenga ki Purehuroa
A literal translation of the full name is 'the
implantation to infinity' or 'from inception to
infinity'. The name is based on the view of Massey as a
provider of life long learning, able to move beyond
traditional structures, and committed to the
never-ending expansion of knowledge. It recognises both
teaching and research within a framework that is not
constrained by conceptual assumptions. Moreover by
incorporating the notion of growth and potential for
growth, it reflects ongoing academic development of
students as well as the study of the familiar, and the
exploration of the unknown.
