“Orientation highly recommended for all incoming students; it offers you a great chance to meet other students; from allover the world, learn more about other cultures, HPU and its services, student support, academic requirements and the most important: meet lots of new friends, “said Taylor Boyd, Director of student Life and organizer of HPU Aloha Week.

Students start the day with a continental breakfast at the windward campus. After a speech of one of the Nation’s Top Collegiate Public Speakers Joe Martin, students will enjoy a Hawaiian-style lunch with faculty and returning students in their major before departing for Kualoa Ranch.
