The event will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4, and from noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, at the Nāulu Center Outdoor Learning Space and Nāulu Center Ho‘onanea Room in C-132.

Among the activities:

  • Learn more about about UH West O‘ahu’s Spring 2023 Commencement, which will be 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 6,  at the Stan Sheriff Center in Mānoa. A lei greeting will follow at the Les Murakami Stadium.
  • Purchase and pick up your regalia (cap, gown, and tassel) from the UH West O‘ahu Bookstore.
  • Schedule a free sitting for a professional headshot (regalia or business wear) with PictureMan of Hawai‘i.
  • Check out the Graduate & Professional School Fair, an opportunity to learn about graduate and professional schools and to start early on the application process. If you are thinking about continuing your education after UH West O‘ahu, attend the event to learn more about what options are available to you.
