Night security tight on HPU's downtown campus

HPU offers various evening courses at the downtown campus as an advantage for students who have busy daytime schedules. Most of these start at 5:15 and end after 8 p.m. Any metropolitan area after dark is likely to be a little scary, and downtown Honolulu is no exception. But HPU has arranged security for the downtown campus to ensure the safety of students and faculty attending night classes.

Hiking club does Ka'a'awa Valley movie tour

Imagine hiding behind a log in Jurassic Park as a herd of Gallimimus dinosaurs run toward you and leap over your head. Or imagine standing in one of Godzilla’s massive footprints, or trying to flag down Lucy, your girl friend, with a cute little penguin during one of the 50 First Dates. These movies, and more, were not filmed in far-off lands but just 30 minutes away from HPU’s windward Hawai‘i Loa campus at Kualoa Ranch in Ka‘a‘awa Valley.
