Why I love MIT

I love that MIT’s values align with my own values of being excellent, connected and real, but most of all having a culture of manaakitanga. Other lecturers also embody manaakitanga and will really go the extra mile for tauira. MIT has such a diverse combination of tauira and lecturers, and everyone is welcomed.
