Thank you all so much for joining Mentor-Mentee Program (MMP) Fall 2016. We hope you enjoyed your participation at our events. We truly appreciate your time and tremendous contribution, which made this program successful. Not only did your valuable support help us, international students, better understand and appreciate different cultures, but you also played an important role to our school in achieving the goal of being a diverse, welcoming, and positive environment.

We would especially like to acknowledge your support at our Recognition Day, which will be held this Wednesday (tomorrow), 09/14 3-4:30PM, QLC Room #412.
We will do potluck, so please prepare something to share with your friends. This will be the last event of this semester’s MMP so we hope to see you there.

Aloha Mentors and Mentees,

The Diamond Head Adventure on this Saturday 09/03 will be postponed to next week Saturday 09/10 because of the unfavorable weather. It will be raining a lot this weekend as the hurricanes are affecting the entire Hawaii islands. For your safety, we would suggest stocking some food and water at home, as well as staying home during the weekend.

For some of you, who have signed up and paid $2 for the East West Oahu Tour on Saturday 09/03 (ISA- International Student Association), please check with ISA coordinators about the plan.

We will send out an email to remind you again about the Diamond Head Adventure next week. We hope mentors and mentees still keep in touch with one another and become good friends.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Have a nice day everyone! Mahalo!

The hike up Diamond Head is considered a "moderate hike" and takes approximately 2 hours.
