Rae Hammer Memorial Prize in New Zealand History

The Rae Hammer Prize in New Zealand History was established in 2016. Margaret and Paul Hammer have endowed two prizes in memory of their mother, Rae Hammer, who majored in Latin and History during her BA degree. Rae had a long and successful career in secondary education, teaching Latin, History and English during her 31 years as the Papakura High School Deputy Principal. She remained closely associated with the University of Auckland due to her tireless voluntary work on committees and trusts.

The main purpose of the Prize is to encourage and reward student achievement in, and commitment to, the study of the history of Aotearoa New Zealand at Honours level.
