Domestic Violence (DV) or Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is the abuse or aggression that occurs in a romantic relationship with either a current and/or former partner. It is any form of maltreatment that takes places in a romantic relationship between adults or adolescents. IPV is identified into four types of violence according the Center for Disease Control and Prevention: 1. Physical Violence, 2. Sexual Violence, 3. Stalking, 4. Psychological Aggression. October is a time to acknowledge domestic violence survivors and be a voice for its victims. Domestic violence is prevalent in every community, and affects all people regardless of age, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. This event, will be held this year on campus on October 31, 2023. For additional resources, please visit ncadv.org for more information.

The campus offers events and programs related to the Constitution on September 17. A U.S. federal policy requires that Constitution Day be held on September 17 of each year, commemorating the September 17, 1787 signing of the Constitution.
Safe Zone Training
The Safe Zone Program’s objective is for trained participants to utilize their gained knowledge and skills to foster a safe and inclusive community for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff, so as to promote social justice in the University of Hawaiʻi System. Participants in a Safe Zone Training will gain knowledge about the LGBTQ+ community, and they will learn about their expected roles under and responsibilities to their campus and University of Hawai`i System policies. Safe Zone Training further familiarizes participants with available LGBTQ+ campus and community resources as well as strategies to support and advocate for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff in the University of Hawaiʻi System. Upon completion of a Safe Zone Training, participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance as well as an invitation to become advocates in the University of Hawaiʻi System Safe Zone Program by completing a brief online post-training test.

Kaiāulu Award
“Ola Ke Kaiāulu: A Thriving Community”
In AY 2017-2018, during fall convocation, a new campus tradition was established with the first awarding of the Chancellor’s perpetual trophy named “Kaiāulu.” The name of the award is from the phrase “ola ke kaiāulu i ka hana kānaka” which means “a community thrives through the efforts of its people.”
A symbolic work of art, Kaiāulu includes the five pillars which represent the Chancellor’s guiding principles: Poʻokela (educational excellence); Kaiāulu (our campus community); Hana Lawelawe (service to the larger community); Mālama Honua (care of land, sea, and sky); and, Waiwai (philanthropy, scholarships, and partnerships). Each of these principles are etched at the top and at the bottom of each pillar and around the platforms.
Each pillar, as well as the base, bears the symbolic pattern of the wing markings of the pueo, the native Hawaiian owl that is the mascot of UH West Oʻahu. In front of the ‘umeke is UH West Oahu’s seal, etched on a wooden koa medallion. The entire base and pillars – including the maile lei is made of koa; the ʻumeke (bowl) at the top is made of kamani wood. Both woods are native to Hawaiʻi and highly prized by woodworking artists.
The Kaiāulu Award is presented annually during each fall convocation to the division who earns the most points by encouraging employee participation in identified programming and awareness events designed to support the foundation for building a safer, healthier and more positive culture and community on our campus. In addition to “bragging” rights and possession of Kaiāulu for the entire year, the divisional winners will receive $500 to be used towards an event aimed at strengthening and building a stronger community within the division.
List of award recipients:
- AY 17-18 Dr. Judy Oliveira, VCSA
- AY 18-19 Dr. Judy Oliveira, VCSA
