HONOLULU (HI Now) - Keeping local talent home starts with empowering the next generation through active community support and career opportunities.
Local partnerships are stepping up to support University of Hawaii athletics and student-run productions, providing students with the hands-on experience they need to build successful careers here in Hawaii.
By offering flexible schedules and management training, local initiatives allow busy students to balance their academic goals while gaining essential workplace skills that launch them toward long-term success.
The spotlight on student achievement shines even brighter this week as Jennifer Stehlin, the Mountain West campus content creator, arrives in Honolulu. As part of her tour visiting every conference campus this year, Stehlin is highlighting student-athletes, beloved campus traditions, and unique student stories.
Hawaii sports fans can join the excitement by attending local soccer, volleyball, and football games, including the major matchup on September 5, to celebrate the university’s first year as a full-time Mountain West member.
To follow the inspiring journeys of student-athletes and see behind-the-scenes campus content, check out the Mountain West online at themw.com or visit their official Instagram page @mountainwestconference.
