Four University of Hawaiʻi campuses have commencement exercises in December 2008. Two represent milestones.
UH Mānoa holds its first Saturday commencement in modern memory Dec. 20. Campus officials made the day change because May commencement so often coincided with Mother’s Day—a double treat for some participants, but challenge for many others.
Leeward Community College will graduate the first class from its new Process Technology Program. Ten candidates will receive professional development certificates Dec. 19. Process Technology represents the campus’s first hybrid credit/non-credit workforce development program, responding rapidly to the state’s training needs while providing graduates with a solid foundation of traditional higher education courses.

To: All Graduates,
May God bless each and every one of you with your pursuit to a prosperous career. Life is very difficult and challenging, however, with your degree you have increased the “doors” that will be opening offering you the opportunity to apply the valuable skills you have obtained from school.
Again, God bless each and every one of you and the valuable instructors that provide and pass on their valuable knowledge allowing for degrees to be earned.
