Last month, The College of Education held its annual Graduate Student Research Symposium. This symposium takes every year and is an opportunity for students to get feedback on their work and meet people from throughout the college. I highly recommend all students to participate in this wonderful community!

Community Work Days at Ka Papa Lo‘i O Kānewai are open to all UH Mānoa students and community members. It’s a chance to get hands-on with traditional Hawaiian farming practices, connect with the ʻāina, talk story with practitioners, and learn in a way you won’t get in a classroom. Living here comes with the responsibility to care for this place, this is one way to show up and give back. 🌱 #UHManoa #Hawaii #SMAP

🌺 Last month, we had an amazing time celebrating the rich cultures of the Pacific right here on the UH Mānoa campus! From vibrant cultural performances to hands-on activities and incredible food, this year’s fest was truly something special.
Mahalo to everyone who made it such a fun and meaningful experience. We can’t wait to join again next spring! 🌊✨
