Spring 2026 New Student Orientation

The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo’s Spring 2026 New Student Orientation is open to both freshmen and transfer students.

Events include a Kīpaepae and Convocation ceremony at the ʻImiloa Astronomy Center, a Downtown Hilo Huakaʻi, and campus tours.

The events are designed for new students to create connections with others — including other students, faculty, staff — and with numerous campus resources. Participants have the opportunity to cultivate a strong sense of belonging with deep connections.
