We invite submissions for presentations that represent UH Mānoa faculty, staff, students, and programmatic work in collaboration with the Hawaiian community as positioned within the conference theme. Pīkoʻokoʻo hopes to create a space where discussions, achievements, and pathways to becoming a Hawaiian Place of Learning can merge. We do not limit our discussion to presentations highlighting the successes we have made, but also seek presentations that are critical of our progress and challenge the UH Community to work harder to advance further progress. We are accepting submissions for the following presentation categories.

There will be an award for the best poster. - Visual Artistic Presentations-
