Associated Students of HPU (ASHPU) held its seventh annual Monster’s Ball on Oct. 25 at Planet Hollywood in Waikiki. 400 presale tickets were sold before doors opened and about another 30 students waited outside for an opportunity to get in. Montanee Pornmukda, sophomore representative, planned the event with help from other members of ASHPU.[More]

New student IDs: What students need to know

HPU has adopted a new student ID system that provides greater security protection and will allow students to use their ID as reloadable gift cards at downtown vendors. As early as this spring or next summer, the new ID system will allow students to put money on their IDs and use them like debit cards at restaurants and approved stores in downtown as well as at the Hawai‘i Loa cafeteria and laundry room.

RAVE alert sweeps over campus

In an effort to better protect the students of HPU, the school put the RAVE alert system into effect last fall. The RAVE alert system sends a mass text message to all those registered in the case of an emergency. This system can alert students, faculty, and staff of tsunamis, hurricanes, acts of violence, fire, power outages, closed campuses, and any other unexpected circumstances.[More]
