Student Life
The University of Hawaiʻi – West Oʻahu promotes an environment where students can achieve their educational goals through academic offerings and campus life opportunities. Through academics and campus life activities, students are encouraged to grow as individuals and are empowered to embrace learning and civic engagement.
UH West Oʻahu maintains an Office of Student Life, which is a go-to center for student activities, involvement, and leadership opportunities. The Office coordinates events, including the Community and Club Involvement Fair that invites community organizations and businesses as well as student organizations and clubs to engage students. It also hosts Monthly Munchies where students can mix while enjoying free coffee or tea, snacks and other goodies.
The Office of Student Life recognizes the importance of connecting, engaging and supporting students through the semester. It also assists with signature student-led events — Fall Fest and West Fest — which are one-day festivals that celebrate the University and most importantly, students.
