UH Mānoa Alma Mater In green Mānoa Valley our Alma Mater stands Where mountain winds and showers refresh her fertile lands; The flag of freedom beckons above her shining walls, To larger truth and service our Alma Mater calls. Hawai‘i, we have gathered within thy wide-flung doors, As sons and daughters claiming her freely offered stores; Our loyal praise we tender, and pledge to hold thy aim, Till ocean’s far horizons shall hear thy honored name.

Rachel Radona B.A. Art '26 Hometown: Aiea, HI High School: Kamehameha Schools Kapālama Campus @raay.chel_art “The most valuable lesson I have learned from a student at UH is that everyone has a moʻolelo, or a story that you can learn from. Not only the Kumu here, but everyone at school and in the community can share something fun or valuable that adds to your life and learning experience. You can find the greatest experiences while talking story with anyone, and that's what the Lāhui of Hawaiʻi is all about!”

Uniquely Hawai‘i • Native Hawaiians have lived in Hawai‘i for over one hundred generations with various island kingdoms. In 1810, Kamehameha I united all the islands under a single Hawaiian Kingdom. • ‘Iolani Palace is the only royal palace in the U.S. and had electricity five years before the White House and 17 years before Buckingham Palace. • Duke Kahanamoku was a Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) and a five-time Olympic medalist in swimming. He was also the world’s best-known surfer and set the standards of modern day surfing. • O‘ahu is divided into six moku (districts). Moku were used to govern the management of underground water resources: ‘Ewa, Ko‘olauloa, Ko‘olaupoko, Kona, Wai‘anae, and Waialua. • Each moku are divided into ahupua‘a (a land division that usually extends from the upland to the sea,) a total of 81 on O‘ahu. The moku and ahupua‘a system were designed for the most efficient food sustainability and land management.

• There are two mountain ranges on O‘ahu; Ko‘olau Mountains and Wai‘anae Mountains.

THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I HAS TWO OFFICIAL LANGUAGES:

ʻŌlelo Hawai‘i & English

ʻŌlelo Hawai‘i experienced a dramatic decline in the 20th century due to an English-only policy for all schools in Hawai‘i. Today, ʻŌlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian language) is recognized as an official language and the number of those who can speak Hawaiian is steadily growing.

HAWAIIAN ALPHABET:

There are only 13 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet:

STATE MOTTO:

“Ua mau ke ea o ka ‘āina i ka pono.”

“The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.”

Campus Traditions TEAM NAMES Rainbow Warriors (men) & Rainbow Wāhine (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 Mōʻiliʻili 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 week-long festivities that include a Homecoming Fair, the Homecoming football game, class reunions and special performances, exhibits, and lectures across campus. ALOHA BASH Held at the Andrews Amphitheater, every spring students celebrate nearing of semester's end at the annual Aloha Bash. The event features live performance by nationally well-known recording artists and local bands. 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.
