Photos: Special Alumni Commencement and 2022 Fall Commencement

UH Hilo held two commencement celebrations this year! The Special Alumni Commencement Ceremony for those who graduated during covid restrictions, and the 2022 Fall Commencement.

Three graduates in full regalia and lei.


The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo held two commencement ceremonies this fall: one for students who missed the opportunity for an in-person event during the two years of covid restrictions (Dec. 16, 2022), and another for the fall class of 2022 (Dec. 17, 2022). Learn more about the two ceremonies. Videos of each ceremony are available for viewing at the commencement website.
