Why students from Hawai‘i and from elsewhere chose Mānoa as their college pick? Experience Mānoa through the eyes of our current students with this interactive student panel.

Fostering a Generation of Creative Problem-Solvers for our Environment (sessions one, two, & three) Room: CC 307 Leona Anthony & Marcie Grabowski, School of Ocean & Earth Science & Technology To maintain our standard of living, to promote sustainability among our islands, and to perpetuate native Hawaiian ecosystems, a group of creative problem-solvers is needed to understand and address these challenges. At UHM, the problem solvers of tomorrow are the Earth-Air-and Ocean science majors of today. The journey to becoming future leaders begins with the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. The New Exploratory Program (sessions one, two, & three) Room: CC 308 Matt Eng, Academic Advisor Students have an exciting opportunity, starting in 2014. If they are not yet ready to declare their majors, they can sign up for course clusters in interest areas that will allow them to explore a grouping of similar majors. Course clusters have been specially designed to fulfill General Education and potential introductory major courses. Interest areas include: Business and Industry; Integrative Studies; Visual, Creative and Performing Arts; Humanities and Social Sciences; Language Studies; Exploratory Science and General Exploratory. Learn more and ask questions at this session.
