This weekend, Dr. John Uohara, who established an endowed women’s volleyball scholarship with UH Hilo in 2011, hosted the team at their home for a wonderful Hawaiʻi experience.
On Saturday, at Dr. and Mrs. Uohara’s home, the volleyball team helped prepare an imu, and on Sunday, the group feasted on the results.
Chancellor Bonnie Irwin was there.
“It was a lovely gathering,” says Chancellor Irwin. “We all appreciated Dr. and Mrs. Uoharaʻs generosity in opening their home for this event. Our Vulcan athletes are fortunate to be able to live, learn, and compete in such a supportive community.”
UH Hilo’s Director of Native Hawaiian Engagement Pele Harman also attended the gathering and taught the team a simple hula and Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī.
