Students
sign up for annual AIDS walk
Many students at HPU walk to and from school,
others walk for exercise, and most walk around campus every
day. Now students
can put all that walking experience to good use by joining
the Starbucks AIDS Walk for Life on May 15. The walk is an
easy one, short, only 5K around Kapiolani Park, and registration
is free.

HPU
bids aloha and mahalo to founding communication dean
For many Hawai‘i Pacific University students, especially
those majoring in communication, suite 504 at 1132 Bishop St.
is familiar territory. Most of the time, just walking in, students
find the door to the dean’s office, behind the receptionist’s
desk, is open. A woman sits at a desk clicking on a computer
mouse with one hand and rummaging through a stack of papers
with the other. She is usually wearing red, and she usually
says, when she glances up, “Can I help you? Come on in.”
