A note about parking:
Visitor’s parking is allowed in Zone 7 (KCHS Parking Lot) after 4:00pm for $6.  The permit must be purchased from the Gate Attendant at the adjacent Zone 22 Parking Structure, however.  If Zone 7 is full, visitors can park in Zone 22.  The UH Parking Map can be accessed here (Zone 7 and 22 are in square D6).  If you already have a UH parking permit for another zone, I’m told you can park in Zone 7 or 22 for free after 4:00pm.

Please join us Thursday, March 21 at 3:00pm in the Tokioka Room to hear UH History Professor Mark McNally discuss the significance of the bankoku shinryō no kane 万国津梁の鐘 (“the bell of the bridge to the world”) as an early example of Ryūkyūan/Okinawan exceptionalism.  This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Okinawan Studies.
