150th events

03 August 2023

In 2023 we invited our community to join us for a variety of events to celebrate 150 years of UC. From academic symposiums and cultural performances to sports tournaments and art exhibitions, our events were about bringing people together - the wider community of Ōtautahi Christchurch and UC alumni, staff, students, and friends. 

HOW TO APPLY

To mark 150 years of UC we held a range of events throughout the year celebrating the significant milestone.

Explore all events and details below to see what we did to engage with our community.
