Happy National Mascot Day to the sharks behind the school spirit 💙🦈
From hyping up game days to showing up for campus events, Sharky & Fynn always bring the energy (and usually find their way into every group photo).

Moving over 6,000 miles away from home comes with a lot of unknowns.
For Erika, some of the best parts of studying at HPU were things she never expected. From lifelong friendships to career opportunities and the ocean, of course, she found her second home.💙🦈

“It’s just a school.”
No, it’s the place where lifelong friendships start, where culture is rich, where professors know your name, and where the ocean is part of your daily routine.😌🌺🌊
This is what it’s really like to be an international student at HPU!

From online learning to commencement in Hawai‘i, HPU’s graduates from China Beacon Education celebrated a proud milestone in their academic journey.
Last month, Hawai‘i Pacific University was thrilled to welcome master’s graduates to experience this beautiful island firsthand through 5 days of exploration and celebration. Students connected with HPU’s downtown campus, explored Hawai‘i’s rich culture and history, and celebrated alongside classmates, faculty, university leaders, and families.
The journey concluded with the formal commencement ceremony, where graduates received their HPU degrees and joined the university’s global alumni community.
Congratulations to our graduates from China Beacon Education. We are proud to celebrate this moment with you!
