Student Activities & Leadership

BYU-Hawaii provides an exciting variety of leadership and service opportunities, clubs, dances, concerts, movies, academic forums, and more through the Student Activities and Leadership Office.

Orientation

This is for new, transfer, returning students (those who have been away for awhile). During the new student orientation, students make new friends; meet faculty members, campus administrators, and upper classmen; tour the campus and the island of Oahu; become acquainted with campus resources; and obtain a great introduction to their academic life.

Continuing students can serve their new classmates as Ohana Group Leaders, returning the favor they received when they arrived, and participate in a great leadership experience themselves.

BYUHSA (Student Service Association)

Student leaders provide opportunities for leadership through service, rich social experiences in a gospel centered environment, intercultural appreciation and understanding, and academic excellence.

Students can get involved by participating in, planning and implementing community service programs, social activities, Culture Night, Songfest, Foodfest, or academic contests.

Students expand their leadership and cultural horizons through various clubs and organizations. Clubs focus on culture (from Tahitian and Kiribati to Russian and African to Japanese and Cambodian), on special interests (film making, capoeira, swing dance), and on pre-professional areas (entrepreneur, social work, education).

Student Concerns

An active Student Advisory Council helps students share ideas and recommend improvements in our campus through researching campus issues and recommending change. Students with individual concerns may get help from the Student Advisory Council. They can advise, refer, and help solve problems.

Student Activities and Leadership/ID Office Students come to the main office to receive their ID cards, learn about leadership and service opportunities, handle club financial business, meet with student leaders (BYUHSA), or consult with the Student Activities staff.

Performance Series

Students arrange for local and international performers to perform on campus-including modern and cultural dance, jazz, classical, or classic pop-helping broaden the cultural and multicultural educational experience.

Game Center

The Game Center is a place for students to relax. Activities include bowling, shooting pool, karaoke, table tennis, air hockey, or a variety of video and arcade games. Tournaments and other special events are scheduled throughout the year.

Aloha Center Desk

The front desk of the Aloha Center is the information source for student activities. Tickets are available for both on and off campus events, as well as bus information and shuttle sign ups.
