Strength through community
Our hearts go out to our students, faculty, staff and our wider ʻohana navigating the aftermath of the recent rains and floods. Now more than ever, we stand together.
On April 8, 2026, your gift to the Social Science Fund does more than support an institution — it provides a vital lifeline. This year, your contribution directly supports:
- Emergency Relief and Success:
Providing scholarships and immediate aid for students facing sudden financial hardships or displacements due to the floods, ensuring they stay on track to graduate. - Impactful Research:
Advancing community-based research that informs local policy on climate resilience and drives meaningful social change. - Real-World Learning:
Creating hands-on opportunities that prepare students for rewarding careers and leadership roles in their chosen fields.
Together, we can ensure that no member of our family is left behind. Help us make Giving Day 2026 a turning point — for our students, for our community, and for our future.
