Welcome Back Students!

It feels like it was just yesterday we were welcoming 2,939 first-time, first year students to campus in August. We are so excited to welcome you back once more to our beautiful Mānoa campus for the Spring 2023!

Remember that you are not alone in your journey toward your degree. The Division of Student Success exists for the sole purpose of supporting you! Check out our various programs, departments, and offices. It would be our pleasure to hear from you.

This semester, we are thrilled to announce a new initiative that we hope you find helpful: In partnership with the UH System Office, we have launched a Virtual Basic Needs Café where you can get connected with basic needs services and resources Sundays through Thursdays from 8pm to midnight. So even when our physical offices are closed - after hours or on weekends - you can secure the support you need.

We are truly grateful to have you back as our students and cannot wait to see what the future holds for you. We are confident that with your hard work and dedication, you will achieve your academic goals…and we are here to support you! Wishing you all the best for Spring 2023!

Always with aloha,

Lori M. Ideta, Ed.D.
Vice Provost for Student Success
