Getting connected with others is an important factor in a well-rounded University experience. As we make friends and participate in co-curricular activities we broaden our perspectives and have a more enriching experience.

I hope you all had a chance to learn of these opportunities at Club Carnaval Day recently. Besides the many clubs, organizations, and intramural sports available to get you connected it is also important to stay connected with the religious traditions that have given you strength. All the local churches, synagogues, and temples stand ready to welcome you. If you need some assistance in finding your local house of worship please come by my office at UB #1506 or call 544-9394.

The “happening place” every Wednesday at noon continues to be the HPU Chapel service at Warmer Auditorium from 12:00 - 12:30 p.m. Led by students, this non-denominational half-hour service features music, Scripture and a brief message to add inspiration to your day. It is a terrific way to keep our lives strengthened and in balance.

Another non-denominational service happens every Sunday evening at 7:30 PM on the lanai at the Hawai‘i Loa Campus. All are welcome! Certainly a good way to start the week.
