Dr Michelle Schaaf<\/p><\/div>\n

Being an academic at a university is not just about teaching and research. It\u2019s also about leadership and capacity building. This post looks at new opportunity for Dr Michelle Schaaf<\/span><\/strong> of our Pacific Islands Studies programme to develop these skills.<\/p>\n

Te Manahua<\/em> New Zealand Universities Women in Leadership Programme (NZUWiL) is an initiative for the New Zealand tertiary education sector funded by Universities New Zealand – Te P\u014dkai Tara. This programme aims to recognise and enhance women\u2019s leadership capacities and influence within universities. It provides opportunities for participants to examine leadership approaches and strategies; increase understanding of the tertiary education sector, research management,\u00a0 leadership capability, diverse learning environments that builds on the diversity of experience within the group, personal and national networks, active communication and change management techniques.<\/p>\n

Michelle is the current Humanities Associate Dean Pacific and a senior lecturer in Te Tumu. At the end of March, she received confirmation that she was the recipient of the Te Manahua <\/em>NZUWiL Pasifika Women Scholarship\u00a0 and a successful University of Otago nominee selected to attend the 2022 Te Manahua <\/em>New Zealand University Women in Leadership: Academic Programme.<\/p>\n

While Michelle has held numerous leadership roles, she strongly believes that there is always the space and need to upskill to ensure that one does not become a complacent leader. She grasped the opportunity to apply for Te Manahua <\/em>NZUWiL Programme and the Pasifika Women Scholarship,\u00a0 as vehicle through which she could learn how to become a more effective leader who responds to challenges in a timely and respectful manner. On completion of this programme, Michelle proposes to reciprocate the University of Otago\u2019s nomination, \u00a0through the transfer of this new basket of knowledge and skills to capacity build and mentor staff.<\/p>\n
