 Ko horuhia te whāri te mana i runga i te mara e Ohtera, i mai ka ke mai. Ina mana i na re'u i na hui wha i te ne kouto, i te ne kouto, i te ne kouto katoa. Vice-Chancellor, Pro Chancellor, Council Members, members of the university special guests, graduands, families and friends. I extend a warm welcome to this, the second spring graduation ceremony for 2012 of the University of Auckland. Today the university is bestowing a total of 3,074 qualifications on some 2,984 students. At this ceremony, degrees will be conferred and diplomas awarded in the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Faculty of Law. A total of 587 in person plus a further 245 in absentia. I am privileged as Chancellor to preside at spring graduation for a fourth year. The regularity of graduation ceremonies makes them no less special for the university and me personally than for those of you being capped here today, many for the first time. Graduation is a festive event rich in history, pomp and colour with a lively array of contemporary touches. Here in Auckland, our rich mix of cultures and ethnicities can be seen in the striking variety of dress and adornments worn by graduands. Today is one of hard-earned celebration by you, the graduands, and diplomats on your academic accomplishments. And by your family and friends who have encouraged and supported you and who are here to share in your success. The university, represented by the council and academic staff members seated behind me, and those many staff who control proceedings with remarkable precision, takes equal pleasure at this hugely significant day for each and every one of you. The University of Auckland is the only New Zealand university ranked in the top 1% of the world. Your qualifications will always serve you well in this country and abroad. Whether in qualifying you for a satisfying career or in leading to more advanced study, will simply as a route to personal and intellectual enrichment. In today's ever-changing workforce you cannot afford to stop learning. So please keep in mind our enormous range of postgraduate opportunities. For its part, the council and the members of the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Faculty of Law of this university willingly accept our obligation to preserve and enhance the high standing of the degrees we confer. We have an unequivocal and unebashed objective to be a world-class university in New Zealand. The recent announcement that we've entered into a conditional agreement to purchase the 5.2 hectare property in Newmarket, owned by Lion Nathan, is a hugely significant and relevant illustration of our commitment to this objective. I urge you as alumni of New Zealand's leading university always to remember your alma mater. We depend increasingly on our graduates for support. Your advocacy and influence are vital in encouraging government and the community at large to fund universities so they can generate the knowledge needed to drive a productive and competitive economy and to create full and satisfying lives for all New Zealanders. At the same time, philanthropy has become critically important to our university, funding major capital projects, scholarships and professorial chairs. The crucial contribution of major research universities such as ours is not well understood. Our innovative research is vital for long-term sustainable economic growth and social cohesion, and never more so than in the testing economic times we face in the wake of the global recession. Universities equip graduates like you not simply for the jobs of today, but for future careers not yet imagined. Universities need greater investment by government, the commercial sector and private philanthropy, if not less. But that's sufficient for me on the challenges facing this institution. For today is unquestionably your day. I congratulate you and trust that you will long cherish the memories of your graduation in October 2012. I am now very pleased to introduce our speaker this afternoon, Cecilia Tarrant, a university alumna and the current executive in residence at our business school. Cecilia brings to this role powerful academic achievement and extensive business experience at the highest level. She holds a BA and an LOB with honours from the University of Auckland and a Master of Laws from the University of California at Berkeley. During over 20 years international experience in capital markets, banking and finance, she worked as a lawyer and then as an investment banker in San Francisco, New York and London. Her final position prior to returning to New Zealand was managing director at Morgan Stanley in London. There she was head of European agency CMBS and consumer asset securitisation. Cecilia is the director of Fletcher Building Ltd, a member of the Board of the Government's Superannuation Fund Authority, a trustee of the University of Auckland Foundation and chair of its investment committee. As the executive in residence at the University of Auckland Business School, she sponsors a women's mentoring programme that is now in its second year. Please welcome Cecilia Tarrant. Vice-Chancellor, members of the University, graduands, families and friends, I'm honoured to have been invited to speak to you today. Firstly, let me congratulate all of those graduating. Today is the culmination of many years of hard work and sacrifice. I want to also congratulate all of the families, friends, teachers and others who have supported you and through their support and encouragement congratulated to your success. You have received a fantastic education at a world-class institution. I can personally attest to the quality of that education. As the Chancellor said, sometime after graduating from Auckland University, I went into the master's degree at Berkeley. Berkeley is regularly rated in the top 10 of universities in the US and I found that the education I had received at Auckland stood up well at Berkeley. When I was asked to speak to you today, I thought about what advice I wish someone had given me when I was leaving university. And I decided that the most important advice I could have been given was the key role that mentoring and networking can play in your success. When I look back on my career to date, I can see how many mentors I have had and how fortunate I was to have those people to guide me in my career. Mentors come in all shapes and sizes and this is not a one-size-fits-all deal. No one mentor will provide you with all the mentoring that you need. I believe in seeking out a variety of people to be your mentors. Mentors do not have to be in the same area, the same business or even the same company as you. People who work with you directly can be invaluable as mentors but that does not mean you can't have mentors outside of your job. You never grow out of needing mentors. I have mentors I go to today in my current career. So seek advice, listen to that advice, but ultimately trust your instincts. Trust yourself and learn from others' mistakes. Don't do what I did the first time I was headhunted. It was 1984 and I was a newly qualified solicitor at one of the big Auckland law firms when I was approached by the other then big Auckland law firm. No one particularly headhunted junior solicitors then but that's what they did with an offer to change my work and to pay me more. I went around the firm asking people for advice and if somebody said I'll stay, I said alright I'll stay. If somebody said I'll go, I said alright I'll go. Ultimately decided that I really knew what I wanted to do so I plucked up my courage, I went into my boss and I said I want to change what I do. I want to change the work I do and if you do that and pay me some more, I'll stay. His answer to that was yes I could change the work that I did but he didn't believe in giving in to wage demands but he would speak to his other partners. They solved the problem by giving our entire class a pay rise much to the delight of my male colleagues. The second problem I mentioned is networking, making connections. Academic success alone is not enough to take away from university. Some of your most valuable connections will be the people that you have met at university and you need to keep those connections. Keep a connection too to the university. The university alumni are a powerful group of people that can open many doors for you. The university too can provide you with a lot of fantastic networking opportunities. I would not be in the position I am in today if it had not been through the contacts I have made through the university. Networking at work is key to your success. The more people you know, the better and the better they know you, the better for your success. Your bosses need to be invested in your success. Take an interest in what your workmates and bosses are interested in even if it isn't of great interest to you. I've worked in New Zealand, the US and the UK and I'm not particularly sporty but I can have a conversation about any sport, including American football. Even though the first time I went to an American football game I couldn't understand why they were subbing on in awful time. It was fortunate that I had an American flatmate when I discovered that my San Francisco boss was a rabid 49ers fan. It was a lot easier in the UK because they are used to New Zealanders. Ignorance of soccer or football is fine because everybody knows we are a rugby nation. Right now what job you take may seem like a crucial decision. My advice is don't agonise too much over that first job. No decision is irreversible. The most valuable thing you can do now is to get a job and to get experience. Even if it's not your ideal job and then seize your opportunities. I started off my working life as a general litigation lawyer and then specialised in construction law. I chose Berkeley because the foremost expert in construction law was a professor there. I haven't done any construction law since I left Berkeley. After stunning at Berkeley I went in a completely different direction. I offered a job working in a law firm doing real estate finance. Even though they knew I knew nothing about real estate or finance at the time. I accepted the job because it gave me a chance to work in a completely different direction and to stay in San Francisco. The alternative was a litigation firm in LA and the firm had had me meet the firm's psychologist before they offered me a position so it didn't really seem right for me. It turned out to be a great decision because I loved the real estate finance work and it later gave me the opportunity to move into investment banking and I had 17 great years in investment banking working in New York and London before returning to New Zealand. So embrace change, take risks and learn from your experiences. Regret no experience. Always look for the positive in every experience and don't be afraid to admit that something isn't working and needs to be changed. I feel like I've been spouting a collection of cliches but the world is truly your oyster. You've received a fantastic education from a world-class institution and this is an extremely exciting time to be entering the world of business. The world is truly global and your opportunities are unlimited. So once again, congratulations on your accomplishment and I wish you all the best for the future. Kia ora. Well thank you Cecilia. I don't think it's any surprise for those of us who know Cecilia to know that someone who is so good at mentoring would have more than one, so good at networking would have a wide range of mentories and I think that is very, very wise advice and I urge you to take it on board. Can I ask you to show your appreciation again to Cecilia? This is a meeting of council and Convocation of the University at which the Pro-Chancellor, Dr Ian Parton and I will be conferring degrees and awarding diplomas. I invite the Pro-Chancellor to award the diplomas and confer the degrees in the first half of this ceremony. Thank you Chancellor. By the authority vested in me by resolution of the University of Auckland Council I, Ian Parton, Pro-Chancellor award the diplomas and confer the degrees stated upon those who within the Faculty of Arts have satisfied the requirements of this University. I call upon the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics Professor Wong to present graduands in that faculty. Pro-Chancellor As Deputy Dean, I have the honour of presenting to you the students qualified for the award of a diploma or conferrement of a degree in the Faculty of Business and Economics.

I now call upon the Vice-Chancellor to present the doctoral graduands. Chancellor, I have the honour of presenting to you the doctoral graduands, to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Christof Friedrich Breitbach in Management. By collaborating with consulting firms and their customers in Australasia, Europe and North America, Christof investigated how the proliferation of information and communications technology has changed interactions between human service providers and their customers. His findings explain the relative importance of ICTs and human relationships for the success of service interactions and could help to guide government and practitioners in transforming New Zealand into a weightless economy that focuses on exporting high value services by means of ICT, Christof. Ann Carline Martin-Hertigan in Law. Uninvestigated how existing international law needs to be interpreted in order to create a legal system that both ensures coexistence and cooperation in a pluralistic society of states and enables more effective legal responses to global problems such as climate change and macro-financial instability. Linda Desiree Holbeck in Marketing. Linda investigated how consumer engagement with social media brands affected their purchase behaviour. She also developed a scale which permits the measurement of consumers brand engagement. Sasha Louise Ma and Management and Anthropology. Sasha investigated how free trade agreements were made in order to understand who is involved and why they have become a popular policy option for successive New Zealand governments. Charlene Sheetal Narayan in Accounting. Charlene used institutional theory to examine how management controls were used in an innovation setting. Her research showed that management controls influence organisation members, which helps to explain different innovation types found in practice. Louise Nicholson in Management. University Doctoral Scholar. Helen explored how participants involved in leadership development programmes can experience moments when their identity is unravelled, threatened and deconstructed in order to offer a more nuanced and multi-faceted view of the leadership development journey. Hendrick Refka in Operations and Supply Chain Management. Hendrick's research was motivated by the growing requirement for sustainable supply chain practices, which are especially relevant in the New Zealand context. His research enhances the necessary theoretical understanding, providing practical support mechanisms. Peter Smith in Management and Employment Relations. Peter's thesis enhanced our understanding of how strategies are formed in professional service firms and how engineering professionals in particular can become more successful strategists. Paul Jonathan Woodfield in Management. Paul's research highlighted ways in which entrepreneurial family businesses can be sustained across generations through the promotion of knowledge sharing, adoption of an appropriate entrepreneurial orientation and explicit awareness of their resource capabilities. He focused on what works well in entrepreneurial family businesses across generations and in doing so, the importance of family influence over the business was highlighted. In absentia, all those other persons named in the Book of Convocation qualified for the conferment of a doctoral degree. On behalf of the university, I now invite all today's graduates to stand and receive the congratulations of us all. This would be an ideal opportunity for the graduates to show their appreciation of their families and supporters and the staff of the university who have helped them as they achieve their qualifications today. This concludes this meeting of council and Convocation of the university for the conferment of degrees and the award of diplomas. I now invite you to sing the first verse of God, Defend New Zealand in Māori and then in English. The words are printed on the reverse of your programmes.
