About SAC

Our Philosophy

Aloha embraces respect for the history, traditions, and culture of Hawaiʻi’s indigenous people as well as those people who followed and settled in the Islands. Aloha reflects compassion for all people. Diverse social and cultural opportunities created on a foundation of Aloha provide a well-balanced and enriched collegiate experience. Through active participation in campus life, students are able to nurture relationships between our campus and our communities. By integrating exciting, relaxing, engaging co-curricular activities into their college experience, students are able to establish a greater connection to UH Hilo and enjoy a more fulfilling collegiate life outside the classroom.
