What if our communities had access to the next generation of climate thinkers? 🌏Oh wait, they do. 😉

Champions on campus 🏆🧡

AUT staff and students recently had the opportunity to get up close with the Auckland FC A-League Championship Trophy at Te Āhuru Recreation Centre on AUT's City Campus.

As Auckland FC’s exclusive university partner, AUT is proud to support the club and celebrate this historic achievement with our community. From dedicated football fans to students seeing the trophy for the first time, the showcase brought together people from across the university to share in an exciting moment for Auckland sport.

A huge thank you to Auckland FC for bringing the trophy to campus and giving our staff and students the chance to be part of the celebrations.

Yesterday was a huge moment for Auckland FC. But not just because of the trophy 🏆

From lifting the A-League trophy in Penrose to inspiring a new generation of football fans and players across Tāmaki Makaurau, AFC has built something bigger than a team this season. They’ve built a loyal community.

With record numbers of young people getting involved in football, and celebrations that reflected the cultures of our city, this win felt special - on and off the pitch.
Proud to partner with a club that puts community at the heart of everything they do. 💙

What if ordering lunch could help support Auckland’s street whānau?

Competing against 39 other groups, the team developed “Feed Forward”, a campaign designed to help strengthen community engagement and fundraising outcomes for Merge Café through a proposed Uber Eats partnership.
Inspired by Merge Café’s kaupapa of manaakitanga, whanaungatanga and kotahitanga, the students created a purpose-driven campaign that explored how everyday actions could create meaningful community impact.

Their work earned them $1,500 in funding to help bring the campaign to life alongside Merge Café, with plans to continue collaborating and volunteering with the organisation moving forward.

Congratulations to AUT students Alesha O’Connor (Team Leader), Anais Shand, Mirika Armstrong, Orion Houseman, also known as 'Team Ammo', for winning the Merge Café marketing competition 👏

A fantastic example of AUT students using creativity, strategy, and innovation to create real-world impact.

As Auckland prepares for a historic A-League Grand Final this weekend, we’re immensely proud to stand behind Auckland FC as their exclusive university partner.

Congratulations to the players, coaching staff and wider club – reaching a home Grand Final is a remarkable achievement and a reflection of the hard work, resilience and ambition that has united the team and inspired supporters across Tāmaki Makaurau.

Thank you Auckland FC for bringing Aucklanders together, for the energy you have brought to the city, for creating opportunities and inspiring the next generation of footballers.

Go Auckland FC, we are behind you all the way!
