Farewell Dr Adam Weaver
|
 |
|
The news of Adam leaving Victoria University after 14 years, literally shook the world, a 7.8 earthquake rattled Wellington on the 14th November 2016. It made his last days challenging, including (as in photo above) hot desking in unusual surroundings. As usual Adam was a consumate professional, juggling his teaching, supervising and Deputy Head of School roles. In between his packing we did manage to send him off in style with some kiwana to add to his luggage.
