On Tuesday, October 18, 2022 the UHM Chinese Flagship Coordinator Orion Young, the GA Hsin-Tzu Jen, and a Student Ambassador Molly Wolyn along with their Korean Flaghip counterparts tabled at the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) College Fair at the Hawaii Convention Center in Downtown Honolulu. There were two sessions in total – a morning session from 8:30-11:30am and an evening session from 5:00-8:00pm. The first session saw high school students from all over Oahu arriving via school bus as a field trip. The second session saw mainly parents accompanying their teenaged children. NACAC College Fairs are held nationwide and are free and open to the public, allowing students to interact with admission representatives from a wide range of postsecondary institutions. The Honolulu leg hosted dozens of local universities as well as close to a hundred national and international universities. Over a hundred students received brochures and then used their phone apps to be scanned by Flagship, twenty of whom expressed interest specifically in Chinese Flagship. The coordinator sent out information about the program electronically the following day.
