The year 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX. CTAHR’s ASAO and the Office of Title IX hosted a panel discussion earlier this month, on September 16th, 2022. Title IX covers all complaints of sexual misconduct, which include: sexual assault, sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, stalking, dating and domestic violence, and more. This anonymous virtual webinar served as an opportunity to listen to our community about what Title IX issues are most relevant and concerning on our campus.
The Ag Conference is back on September 27th and 28th at the Hawai'i Convention Center and it’s better than ever! Why? Because CTAHR will be there. 😎The college will have a booth open on both days of the conference and will be hosting an exciting panel on the adaptation and innovation that CTAHR has taken part in through its over 100 year history and through the pandemic. The session will also highlight some of the inventive projects and research that has taken place to bring solutions through the collaborative efforts of CTAHR faculty, extension agents, and Hawai'i farmers and will be taking place on Wednesday, the 28th, from 1:15 - 3:30 PM.
On April 2nd, the 2022 in-person Manoa Experience event brought 2,914 prospective and admitted students and their families to the Manoa campus to learn about CTAHR's undergraduate programs. Mahalo to everyone who spent time preparing for and working at the Manoa Experience event! Although the last two years have been a blur with Manoa Experience being on hiatus, it is impressive how CTAHR can continue to pivot as needed to share how amazing CTAHR is!
When the Hawaii Foodbank kicked off its annual State Employees food drive, CTAHR took on the goal of raising $3,000 in monetary donations and 7,500 pounds of food to surpass 2021’s totals of 7,413 lbs and $2,623.34. Although we did not reach our poundage goal, we still brought in a massive 1,403.4 lbs and made up for it by shattering the monetary goal by 134%, having raised $4,035.27 for the Hawaii Foodbank! As of May 5th, CTAHR has brought in the most monetary donations of all the departments in the UH system. 🥳
