Attention students and those living in close proximity of the Hamilton campus! 📢

The University’s emergency response systems are being tested today at 1pm. The test will last for a maximum of 15 minutes and you do not need to do anything.

If you are on campus, you’ll hear a siren, and access-controlled doors will lock but you will still be able to leave a building if you need to using the door release buttons.

While we are testing our systems, we encourage you to think about what to do in any emergency scenario.

The Entomological Society of New Zealand has identified 24 strong contenders.

Two of the nominees are being represented by our very own scientists, Dr Chrissie Painting (Tuwhaipapa - Giraffe Weevil) and PhD student, Simon Connolly (Kahuwai - Black Tunnelweb Spider). 🕷️

“Conservation tends to focus on charismatic species such as endangered birds, but invertebrates and their global decline are often overlooked,” says Chrissie.
