More than 100 University of Hawaiʻi Maui College faculty, students and staff gathered along the W. Kaʻahumanu Avenue entrance on Monday, March 30 as part of the campus’ Get Your Reg On! campaign. To promote summer and fall class registration, which starts April 13, they waved at passing cars and held signs to show their school spirit.
“Right now there’s still financial aid available, and we wanted to get the word out about registration a week before it starts so people apply and get that financial aid paperwork underway,” said Cathy Bio, UH Maui College vice chancellor of student services. “But it was also an opportunity to show our school spirit. I think everyone driving by could see how enthusiastic we are about our students and the college.”
Among the UH Maui College programs that came to support the event were admissions and records, Kabatak, counseling, dental hygiene, liberal arts and hospitality and tourism. The UH Maui College executive staff including Chancellor Lui K. Hokoana was also came out to show their spirit. The event was broadcast live by Pacific Media Group, with hosts Trance and Tre Tre from Da Jam 98.3.
“Our students really felt the spirit of the community supporting us,” said Francine Ching, student life coordinator and one of the event organizers. “It’s still going on too, I hear the photos on Facebook have gotten more than 6,000 views.”
The class schedules for summer and fall semesters are available to view online at maui.hawaii.edu/classes and prospective students can apply online at maui.hawaii.edu/apply.
