Rā Whakamana

Rā Whakamana is an annual graduation ceremony celebrating Māori achievement at Lincoln University. It is an opportunity for whanau, friends and staff to meet graduands and acknowledge their success.  Lincoln University – Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki, Te Awhioraki, Lincoln University Māori Students’ Association, and Te Taumutu Rūnanga collectively organise and conduct the ceremony each year.

The Ngāti Moki Trophy for Māori Leadership is awarded during the Rā Whakamana graduation ceremony to a person who has shown considerable Māori leadership at Lincoln University and commitment to Māori development either as a student, graduate, staff member or associate of the University.
