AUCKLAND, New Zealand. - An route to Australia, Prof. J.B. Rudnyckyj visited on December 16-17 Ukrainians in New Zealand.

Apart from giving a lecture on "Multiculturalism in Canada, Australia and New Zealand," Prof. Rudnyckyj met with Prof. Alexandra Puhach-Casselton, a Ukrainian-born Slavist at Auckland University, and Volodymyr Krechowec, a representative of the Ukrainian Association of New Zealand.

Prof. Puhach-Casselton and Mr. Krechowec both agreed that there is a overdue necessity for creating a chair of Ukrainian studies at one of the universities in New Zealand or Australia. They promised their full support for this idea.
