Truth Racial Healing and Transformation manoa.hawaii.edu/nhpol/trht

UH Mānoa: A Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Center and a campus committed to becoming a Native Hawaiian place of learning.

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is one of the first 10 trail-blazing campuses across Hawai‘i and the U.S. selected to implement ambitious, visionary action plans that tackle historical and contemporary effects of racism. The Native Hawaiian Place of Learning Advancement Office leads our campus in these plans. Visit their website for resources and how you can get involved.

Ka Papa Lo‘i O Kanewai manoa.hawaii.edu/hshk/ka-papa-loi-o-kanewai/ getinvolved

Join students, faculty, staff, and community members on scheduled workdays at Ka Papa Lo‘i O Kānewai. Located on the lower half of campus, the lo‘i is an irrigated area where kalo (taro) grows.

UH Manoa Campus Arboretum

manoa.hawaii.edu/campusarboretum

Walking from class to class, you might encounter a diverse range of trees and plants that surround you. Thatʻs because UH Mānoa is an accredited arboretum featuring over 5,000 types of plants and a number of trees from the Pacific and across the world. Engage in learning more about these plants and areas on campus by attending an Aloha ‘Āina Friday session, or visit the link above.

Native Hawaiian Place of Learning Advancement Office

manoa.hawaii.edu/nhpol

The Native Hawaiian Place of Learning Advancement Office is committed to fostering a rooted, resilient, and responsive community that advances UH Mānoa as a Native Hawaiian Place of Learning.

go.hawaii.edu/EHJ

Since Fall 2019, the Native Hawaiian Place of Learning Advancement Office has also been providing opportunites to students, faculty, and staff on campus wanting to learn more about the concept of Aloha ‘Aina. This includes various speaker presentations, campus tours, dialogue circles, and caring for the campus arboretum.

Pictured here is Kōnāhuanui, the highest peak in Mānoa Valley. Rising 3,150 feet in elevation, Kōnāhuanui is a mountain and major water source for the surrounding four ahupua‘a (land division) including Honolulu, Waikīkī, Kailua, and Kāne‘ohe. Kōnāhuanui is also the home of a kupua wahine (supernatural woman) who is noted in moʻolelo (story) as an observer of travelers and protector of the mountain. In another mo’olelo, Kōnāhuanui is also known as the peak that Kawelomahamahaʻia (from Kauaʻi) stood upon to throw the ʻōʻō stick (a tool, a ground breaking stick) that created the land of Kūkaʻōʻō, location of Mānoa’s famous Kukaʻōʻō Heiau, the last intact heiau (ancient temple) in Mānoa.

Uniquely Mānoa

As its name suggests, Mānoa offers a vast array of opportunities unique as the place we are named for. In traditional times, Mānoa valley was expertly cared for and cultivated by Native Hawaiians. In return, it provided an abundance of sustenance and protection for its residents. As a Rainbow Warrior, you will have access to many exciting new opportunities - whether it’s meeting new people or engaging in new clubs or visiting a different spot around campus or on O‘ahu. We hope that you will be acquainted with the unique culture of Hawai‘i and the aloha spirit.

UH Mānoa Department of Public Safety (DPS) is dedicated to providing and promoting a safe and secure campus, and serving our community with aloha. DPS operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to patrol and respond to reports of crime or suspicious activity on UH Mānoa campuses.

Emergency Call Boxes are located throughout campus to provide instant communication with DPS officers, and are easily identified at night by their blue lights. The department’s Safety Escort Service provides a walking escort or vehicle transportation between on-campus facilities, every evening from dusk until dawn (Please note that wait times may increase on weekends or during inclement weather). DPS also offers a variety of crime prevention and awareness programs, which are available through the department’s Crime Prevention Unit.

DPS recommends downloading and using our campus safety app, Mānoa Guardian.

The app directly connects the user to DPS dispatch via phone call or text message. The safety timer feature acts as a virtual security escort–if your safety timer expires before you deactivate it, DPS will be notified of your location and will send help immediately. Use the app for a directory of important UH Mānoa phone numbers and to view emergency plans. For more information and to download this free app, visit manoaguardian.com.

Campus Traditions

Team Names

Rainbow Warriors (men) & Rainbow Wahine (women)

The Rainbow

Before 1923, UH teams were nicknamed the “Deans.”

Then in the final game of the 1923 season, UH head coach Otto Klum’s squad upset Oregon State, 7-0, at Mo‘ili‘li Field. During the game, a rainbow appeared over the field. Reporters started calling UH teams the Rainbows, and the tradition began that Hawai‘i would not lose a game if a rainbow appeared.

The Warrior

The Warrior holds an honored place in Hawaiian history for it was the warrior who united the Hawaiian Islands under Kamehameha the Great. The Hawaiians expected the warrior to display great strength, skill and a fighting spirit.

Welina Mānoa

An annual event that takes place on the first day of school to officially welcome incoming Rainbow Warriors to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Welina Mānoa gathers campus organizations, student resources, and more so that students can fully connect to campus.

Homecoming

Held every fall semester, Homecoming comprises weeklong festivities that include a Homecoming Fair, Wahine (Women’s) volleyball game, the Homecoming football game, class reunions and special performances, exhibits, and lectures across campus.

Aloha Bash

Held at the Andrews Amphitheatre, students celebrate nearing of semesterʻs end at the annual Aloha Bash. The event features live performance by some of Hawaiʻiʻs favorite bands and artists.

The Gift of Lei

One of the most unique experiences of living in Hawai‘i and being a student at UH Mānoa is the cultural tradition of lei giving at graduation. As a celebratory and congratulatory gesture, the tradition of lei giving goes back centuries and is firmly rooted in Hawaiian culture. A lei is a garland of flowers that is worn around the neck and it is customary on special occasions to “lei” the person or individuals who are being honored.
