Office of Admissions releases three short videos highlighting UH Hilo experience
The recruiting videos highlight both the academic and personal experience students can expect: “You’re part of an ʻohana.”

The Office of Admissions released three short videos this week sharing the message that the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo is a supportive and inclusive academic community profoundly connected to its island home.
Myla Gumayagay, communications specialist at the admissions office says the video themes were chosen to reflect what makes UH Hilo distinctive, its diverse student body, hands-on academic approach, strong faculty connections, close-knit community, and deep connection to Hawaiʻi Island.
“Together, they highlight both the academic and personal experience students can expect,” says Gumayagay.
The three themes are “Connected to the Island,” “Close Knit Community and Sense of ʻOhana,” and “Diversity and Belonging.”
“Each theme represents a core part of the UH Hilo experience where students don’t just earn a degree, but find community, gain real-world skills, and develop a meaningful connection to place,” Gumayagay says.
Message: At UH Hilo, Hawaiʻi Island is part of your education. From its natural beauty and rich culture to hands-on learning and community connections, students are inspired by the place they call home. Discover a campus deeply connected to the island and the opportunities it offers. (Video produced by Walczuk Productions)
Message: Discover a campus where different cultures, perspectives, and experiences come together. At UH Hilo, diversity is more than representation, it’s a community where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to learn from one another. Experience a place where your story belongs.
