Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us today. Kudos to you for advising and guiding our students as we open spring semester.

Hawai‘i State Legislature
Honolulu, Hawai‘i
Aloha. On behalf of the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, I would like to first say thank you. Your support to UH Hilo enables us to meet our commitment to offer our students excellent academic opportunities, and to achieve our mission to meet the economic and professional workforce needs of the Big Island and the state.
UH Hilo, the state’s comprehensive university, has the academic rigor and ambience of a small private college. The positive difference is that UH Hilo is accessible to students of many varied and diverse backgrounds– residents, commuters, nontraditional and international students, and distance learners. As the state’s comprehensive university, we focus and create our programs to provide the needed professional workforce with an outreach to the underserved rural communities of our island and state. In this way, our mission and goals are ongoing solutions to improve the overall quality of life and increase and revitalize the education and economic opportunities for our students and the citizens of our state.
