Sharing "hula"
spirit
Hula is an ancient style of dance native to
the islanders of Hawai‘i and was once only performed
in Hawai‘i. Today the dance can be witnessed all around
the world. Hula is an experience of sharing, whether you
are a kumu hula, or teacher of hula, a professional hula
dancer, or a visitor to Hawai‘i who learned to dance
the hula while here. It doesn’t matter how one learns
hula or where one experiences its performance. What counts
is that it is being shared.

Campus
Pipeline upgraded
On the first day of school some students noticed
changes to the HPU Pipeline Website. The weekend before school
began, the system went through a renovation process involving
more than 30 employees under the supervision of Associate Vice
President of Information Technology Services Justin Itoh. The
new design, based on input from all areas of the university,
is intended to make the site easier to use.

| The transition from high
school to college can be difficult. The new atmosphere, unfamiliar
faces, and a new found freedom can all leave a student feeling
overwhelmed. Luckily for students at HPU, the Academic Advising
Center has organized a series of seminars to help students ease
into college life. |
