Induction/Graduation Ceremonies

Held once a year in April (usually the third week) in the Mystical Rose Oratory from 10:30am-12noon. All new and graduating students are required to attend.

Chaminade University’s Hogan Entrepreneurs celebrated the graduation and induction of its students on April 18, 2012. This marked the 10th graduation for a unique program that encourages students to use their entrepreneurial passion and academic achievements as means to contribute to their communities. The program’s motto continues to be "doing business things that make social sense; doing social things that make business sense."

The ceremony was held in the Mystical Rose Oratory on Chaminade’s Campus. Since its inception in 2002, the program has graduated approximately 250 student entrepreneurs. The program began with Governor Neil Abercrombie honoring the benefactors of the Hogan Program, Ed and Lynn Hogan, with a Proclamation! The governor designated April 18th as Ed & Lynn Hogan Day!

Featured speakers included Governor Abercrombie, Ed Hogan, Chair and Co-Founder of the Hogan Family Foundaion, and Gabe Lee, the EVP of American Savings Bank.

Public Policy Forum

Every few months, we try to bring Hawaii’s opinion leaders together in small closed-door discussions of important issues. In this way, we hope to help build a better understanding on matters that significantly impact the economic and social climate of where we live and where we conduct our business.

Homeless Job Preparation Workshop

The Hogan Program sponsors a job preparation workshop for the homeless, on campus, once a year in October. This year will be our 9th Homeless Workshop. There are usually about 25 participants who will spend the day with a volunteer Hogan Student, to prepare them for future employment. Time will be spent creating a resume, preparing for job interviews, and learning about employment resources available to them.
