HoSA Conference
The Heads of Student Administration (HoSA) network is an invaluable resource for senior leaders and managers of student and academic administration services in both New Zealand and Australian Universities. The group provides a strong network for communication and informal discussions on a range of issues both at and between meetings.

Charting the Course: Navigating the changing tertiary education environment |
While we may not be the captain of our respective institutions, it often falls to us to ensure that a safe course is steered between the reefs of resource constraints, institutional regulation and Government policy while being buffeted by the squalls of customer expectation.
This conference provides an opportunity to collaborate, plan and share collective wisdom at a strategic level on the many challenges and complexities that the current tertiary education environment faces.
