2020 Sping Commencement Cancelor's Mesage

On behalf of the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo ‘ohana, I congratulate our 2020 spring graduates!

Commencement is a time to celebrate the completion of your degrees, but even more, it is a time to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in each of your lives. Had this been any other year, this program would be distributed to friends and ‘ohana gathered for commencement ceremonies with beautiful leis in hand for you. Although the traditional

ceremony has been cancelled due to the health crisis, pride in all candidates for reaching graduation in spite of everything is unwavering.

So even though you are receiving accolades through a virtual venue, your accomplishment of graduating is still the most important thing. You have spent years working toward your degree and you now have your credentials in hand. As we all emerge from the coronavirus crisis into a new world, your communities and ‘ohana will need the skills and knowledge you have acquired. And even though you and your families may miss the traditional commencement event itself, I know each and every one of you will have memories of UH Hilo that you will carry with you into your personal and professional lives.

I join your ‘ohana, friends, mentors, and faculty, and members of our island community, in celebrating this day with you. I know each of you will make a big difference in helping your communities move forward, thus doing your part to help change the world for the better.

I wish each of you happiness and success in all you do.

Aloha,

Bonnie D. Irwin

Pulelo Ha‘aheo Words by Kauanoe Kamanä, Kalena Silva, William H. Wilson

Music by Haunani Bernardino

Pulelo ha‘aheo ke ahi a nä lehua a‘o Hilo Hilo o ka mälamalama, lamakü o nei ao Ka ua Kanilehua ka‘u e pülama mau ai Hilo i ka uluwehiwehi, wehi kau i ka wëkiu

Hui: E kü a‘e e Hilo, lei i ka na‘auao Ho‘okahi ka umauma, ho‘okahi pu‘uwai.

English Translation by Kauanoe Kamanä, Kalena Silva,

Kenith Simmons, William H. Wilson

Lehua blossom fames leap high above Hilo, Hilo, proud bearer of the torch of wisdom, light for all to share. I shall always cherish the Kanilehua rain; Hilo, lush with vegetation, a lei reaching to the highest peaks.

Chorus: Rise up, O Hilo, wear proudly the mantle of enlightenment; Let us stand united in purpose, mind and heart.
