The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo celebrated 2026 Spring Commencement on Saturday, May 16, at Edith Kanakaʻole Stadium. The event was livestreamed and is now available on YouTube.
The visit was part of Department of Defense program intended for U.S. to showcase unique resources on an international scale and trigger reciprocity across nations.
Joining the 2025-2026 PELP UH System-wide cohort were UH Hilo’s nursing professor Jeanette Ayers-Kawakami, director of the business college Todd Inouye, and senior advisor Comfort Sumida.
In a celebratory event hosted by Chancellor Bonnie Irwin, honorees include award recipients for extraordinary contributions to campus, last year’s retirees, and those celebrating milestone years of service.
The annual event honors academic excellence and outstanding achievements of students from all departments at the College of Arts and Sciences.
A university education now must also include durable skills: problem-solving, communication, ability to work in teams, and the ability and willingness to learn new things.
