“We are excited to collaborate with both UH Student Media and the bookstore,” commented UH ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ Enrollment Marketing Manager Jennel Sesoko. “Creating opportunities such as this maintains a strong connection to our campus—not only for our students, but our campus community as a whole. Whether a first-year student or a senior graduating, we want to recognize our students and their UHM-azing Rainbow Warrior spirit.”
Director of UH Student Media Sandy Matsui said, “Although we may be physically apart via social distancing, ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ Now and the UH ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ student media programs want to celebrate the graduating class of 2020 together.”
Students must submit their entries no later than 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2020.
