End of Summer Picnic

UGC thanks faculty, staff, volunteers for student stewardship

End of Summer Picnic

by Jari Sugano

Mahalo to the Oʻahu County ʻOhana for your ongoing support of our various CTAHR programs in the county, especially our student summer program. Whether it’s picking plumeria, teaching students how to transplant seedlings, approving their supply purchases, packing vegetables for donations, editing their paperwork, prepping their workspace, or attending their various presentations, the time and kindness you’ve extended to these students will pay off greatly in the future.

As a higher education institution, we promote education, equity, inclusion, and community engagement. I‘m very proud to be a member of this CTAHR team; everyone works to advance student achievement in all areas of interest for our young adults.

It was great to see everyone at the UGC picnic and to “stop and smell the plumeria” together. Mahalo to everyone who helped to make this day extra special for the students, who will be headed back to school and on to new endeavors.

Thanks for all the yummy food, good conversation, amazing music, and beautiful energy.

Mahalo, Jari
