Hawaii Pacific University on Dec. 1 said goodbye to international students who have spent their semester abroad in Hawaii with a send-off reception, including games and lunch.
While everyone ate bentos together, they shared stories about the exciting adventures and challenges experienced over the course of the semester.
The HPU International Team prepared games with various prizes for winners. The main prize, a $50 gift card for Hawaiian Airlines, was given away via a photo contest. Everyone who wanted to participate submitted a photo of themselves in Hawaii. The students themselves voted for the best picture.
Many agreed their semester abroad in Hawaii passed far too quickly and they will never forget the moments they experienced here. Still, the students all parted ways happily, because even if they never come back to Hawaii, they know that once part of the HPU Ohana, they are always part of the HPU Ohana.
