We’re excited to announce the launch of the Massey University Alumni Book Club! In this online community, alumni will connect with each other to read and discuss books on a range of topics, as well as member-submitted recommendations. There is no cost to participate – you just have to get a copy of the book to enjoy.

You can sign up now at https://www.pbc.guru/massey or keep reading to learn more. Sign-up by 5th August to join us for our first book selection.

How it works

The book club will connect through a private online forum where members can discuss the current book and network with each other. The group will spend approximately two months on each book, so you'll have plenty of time to read. You can sign up and learn more here: https://www.pbc.guru/massey

Why should you join?

There are three main reasons we hope you'll be excited to participate in our book club: 1) Connect and network with your fellow alumni, 2) Be a part of a lifelong learning community, and 3) Reading is good for you!

Join here: https://www.pbc.guru/massey

PBC Guru manages professional book clubs for companies, libraries, and alumni associations. They will be moderating our book club to help make this program a great experience for all participants. Please email them at [email protected] with any questions or visit their website at http://www.pbc.guru to see more of what they do.

MASSEY DEADLINE FOR SECOND SEMESTER ENROLMENTS

Massey has experienced an influx of enrolments across the board since COVID kicked in, increasing demand for academic qualifications in emergency management generally, and now the bump in interest from the National Emergency Management Conference last week. All of this within constraints on new enrolments in the university sector due to post-COVID demand.

If you are even thinking of enrolling in Massey courses in the second semester it would pay to enroll now to ensure that your options are open for the rest of 2021 and into next year.

The deadline to enroll in our second semester courses is the 14th of June.
