CAMPUS ACTIVITIES
There is a diversity of events available to the University community. Remember, students who are involved and connected to the University often do well academically. So make time for extra-curricular events by selecting from the many choices below: For up-to-date information of fall and spring programs, refer to the University's Main Calendar.
Community Programs are campus-wide events open to students, faculty and staff. Sponsored by other campus departments (like Student Support Services, Career Services, AAP, Athletics, Aramark), these activities promote spirit and foster community ties at Chaminade and the greater community. Look out for flyers and ads for more details during the semester or contact OSAL.
Welcome Week is a comprehensive week of festivities at the beginning of each academic semester. This program is designed to introduce new and reconnect returning students to the people, departments, programs, and services available at Chaminade. In addition, we have created extra-curricular activities (like a University Picnic, concerts, movie night, paddling lessons, etc.) for students, faculty and staff to promote community and shared experiences.
Co-curricular Speaker Series seek to engage community members in discussions surrounding topics such as civil rights, women’s movement, healthy relationships and lifestyles, and so forth. By collaborating with academic departments, we are able to bring in community leaders, activists, educators and artists whose life experiences and messages empower others to serve. In the past, we have done this when celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month, Women’s History Month and many more. Look out for flyers and ads for more details during the semester or contact OSAL.
Breakaways are experiences that will happen once during the academic year. They are fun, short and worthwhile adventures that will expose you to activities such as bowling, theatre, museums and skating. Go off-campus, meet new people or learn something new. All breakaways are free to students and include transportation—seating is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis. Look out for flyers and ads for more details during the semester.
Experience Hawaii: Diversity in the People, Places & Traditions is a ten-week experiential learning program set out to explore a sampling of Hawaii’s diversity through the people, places and traditions. If you are interested in discovering the island of Oahu and learning about the unique elements of Hawaii’s diversity and its impact on your college experience, this program is for you. Space is limited to 10 students, so inquire today.
Pacific Island Review and International Extravaganza are student-led performances that celebrate the cultural diversity at Chaminade University. You will find beautiful dances, extravagant costumes, and delicious food. Both have become traditions at Chaminade, so don’t miss out. Come early and bring your appetites—you will be in awe!
PIR scheduled for November 2nd in the Clarence T.C. Ching Hall Courtyard (7:00pm); International Extravaganza scheduled for April 26th at the Clarence T.C. Ching Hall Courtyard (6:00pm-9:00pm).
