Nearly 200 CTAHR students, their families and friends, and CTAHR faculty and staff attended CTAHR’s Fall 2017 Convocation in the Campus Center Ballroom. This celebration, co-emceed by Irene Morrow and Maile Sing, began with congratulatory remarks from Associate Dean Ania Wieczorek, Dean Nicholas Comerford, and UH Alumni Association Vice President Paul Yokota. Our Fall 2017 student marshals, Ana Delostrico (FSHN), Anna Testsutani (FSHN), and Megan Manley (PEPS), selected for their academic achievements, leadership and service to CTAHR and the University, were then recognized. Afterwards, graduating students active in CTAHR-affiliated student organizations were acknowledged for their participation in these organizations. CTAHR also recognized Melissa Rivera, Lory Wong, and Brynn Yorita, as graduating members of Phi Upsilon Omicron, one of CTAHR’s honor societies. The ceremony concluded with the individual recognition of 28 of our graduates. Following the program were refreshments and a chance for family, friends, and mentors to mingle with the graduating students, as well as capture memories with the photo booth. Congratulations to our graduating students for achieving such an important milestone! Good luck in your future endeavors!

A big mahalo to all those who supported our graduating students. Thank you to Commuter Services, the Office of Admissions, CTAHR Alumni Association and Friends, Steven and Karen Sato, CTAHR Scholarship student volunteers at the event, and Academic and Student Affairs.
