Hui o Hawai‘i Welcome BBQ
Every summer, Hui o Hawai‘i hosts a beach barbecue on O‘ahu to welcome new students to Oregon State University. At the barbecue, Hui o Hawai‘i officers, students, and families get to meet one other, play games, and eat local food. Students from Maui and the Big Island also participate in this welcoming celebration by attending smaller Hui o Hawai‘i luncheons or dinners on their islands.
Aloha Pizza Reception
Hui o Hawai‘i invites Hawai‘i and Polynesian students and families to join us for pizza at one of the dining centers on campus. This event is usually held the Wednesday before school starts, so most students come and meet each other for the first time.
Welcome Back BBQ
The Welcome Back BBQ is held the Saturday before school starts. Upperclassmen, underclassmen, and their families come to meet new people, play games, and eat free food.APA Connect
During the first weekend of school, all of the Asian/Pacific American organizations, such as Hui o Hawai‘i, Hmong, Japanese Student Association, etc., get together to welcome new students, show them around campus, and introduce them to their organizations. Students meet at the Asian & Pacific Cultural Center (APCC) in the morning and participate in festivities, including a scavenger hunt, all day long. They end the night with a great dinner.
Big Braddah/Big Sistah Orientation and Retreat
Corn Maze
For Halloween, Hui o Hawai‘i members meet at the APCC in the early evening to watch a scary movie before heading out to a haunted corn maze. The maze is designed out of corn that stretches over seven acres. The 2009 corn maze design was of a cowboy saddling his horse, and the 2008 corn maze design was of a tractor working down the fields with the silhouette of a barn and sunset.
