University of Hawaiʻi Centennials 2007-2008, 2012

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa celebrated its centennial of the legislation signed in 1907 to create the College of Hawaiʻi, and the centennial of class instruction which began in 1908. In 2012, we honored the centennial of the completion of the first building, Hawaiʻi Hall, on the Mānoa campus and the centennial of the first graduation.
