Student Experiences

Hi there! My name is Trinity and I am a 4th year senior studying Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Sciences. I have been a Resident Assistant for the past 2 years. One of the most rewarding parts about being in the RA position is being able to make a direct and positive impact on the lives of the students who reside on UH Manoa campus. With UH being such a diverse school, I’ve been able to make so many friends from various backgrounds.

Aloha! As a local born an raised on O’ahu, I cannot imagine attending any other university. The experience I’ve had at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa (UHM) has allowed me to pursue so many of my passions involving sust’ainability, food sovereignty, and Hawaiian culture. These opportunities are difficult to replicate anywhere else, and the most beautiful aspects of campus can be found in the sim- plest things. “Lalau aku oe i ka ulu i ka wekiu, i ke alo no ka ulu a hala - you reach for the breadfruit away at the top and miss the one right in front of you.”
