Juice is launched!
 |
You asked - we listened.
Students have been telling us that official University emails are confusing, irrelevant or just too boring. Email-overload means a large majority of students don’t read our UC emails so we’ve decided to rethink our approach.
Juice will be sent to your UC email address every fortnight and will consolidate all the juicy info into one place. This should save you time and make for a simpler, more useful reading experience.
If you have any questions about Juice, ideas on content, or want to provide some feedback please email communications@canterbury.ac.nz.

Argène Montgomery-Hönger
Psychology master’s student
“Climbing Kilimanjaro to me provides an opportunity to acknowledge the courage and strength the people of Christchurch have displayed. Let’s have the world take note of the extraordinary people we are.”
UC postgraduate student Argène Montgomery-Hönger has joined a band of Kiwis taking on the challenge of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro this August to raise funds for the Red Cross Christchurch Earthquake Appeal.
Argène aims to raise at least $5895 (the height of Kilimanjaro in metres) for the appeal.
To follow Argène and the Kilimanjaro NZ Expedition team as they prepare, fundraise and, later, give live updates from Kilimanjaro, join Kilimanjaro NZ on Facebook.
