Jack Williamson

Jack is studying a Bachelor of Health Science (Physiotherapy) with the hope of one day strapping the knee of the next Richie McCaw.

While studying at AUT, Jack has involved himself in basketball and volleyball, earning himself a bronze medal at his first tournament away at the 2021 National Tertiary Volleyball Championship.

Jack plans to continue playing volleyball at AUT and is looking forward to getting involved with other sports too. Volleyball has always been Jack’s strongest sport, competing at the highest level through high school and earning bronze medals in both Auckland and National Volleyball tournaments, but he has played competitive rugby for 10 years also.

Being able to compete at a national level – this time for his university – has re-ignited Jack’s enthusiasm for sports and meeting new people and he hopes to stick around and make a positive impact on the sporting community in AUT for years to come.

The UTSNZ Student Athlete Commission aims to allow the voice of the student-athlete to be effectively communicated with the organization. It provides advice to the UTSNZ Executive about issues of student sport participation and achievement, and the development of UTSNZ. The commission also helps build awareness of UTSNZ within member student groups and to implement student-focused initiatives.
