Are you graduating this fall from the University of Hawai‘i–West O‘ahu? Candidates for graduation can prepare for the 2023 Mid-Year Commencement at Grad Fest, a two-day event that will cover all things graduation.

Grad Fest will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 1, and Thursday, Nov. 2, at the UH West O‘ahu Bookstore.

Among the Grad Fest activities:

  • Learn more about UH West O‘ahu’s 2023 Mid-Year Commencement Ceremony, which will be held 9 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9, in the UH West O‘ahu Courtyard.
  • Schedule a free sitting for a professional headshot (regalia or business wear) with PictureMan of Hawai‘i.
  • Purchase and pick up your regalia (cap, gown, and tassel), as well as honor and service stoles/cords.
  • Pick up parking passes (up to two) and guest tickets (up to six).
  • Check out the Graduate and Professional School Mini 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. You will get a chance to meet with school representatives, learn about their graduate programs, and ask about the application process.
