Campus will be closed on January 1 in observance of New Year’s Day.
Celebrating Makahiki on our great lawn Makahiapo. 

A day-long Makahiki honored the traditions of the Hawaiian god Lono and the natural cycles of the environment. 

Guided by cultural practitioner ʻUmi Kai, the day began with attendees participating in protocol and a presentation of hoʻokupu (offerings) such as lei, fresh fruits, and other biodegradable offerings.

Students, faculty and staff tested their skills, endurance, strength and strategy in traditional pāʻani (games or sports), and attendees enjoyed workshops and demonstrations.
