Kīpuka remains open and committed to provide support to our UH Hilo students during this time. The situation with COVID-19 is constantly changing and in order to continue our services, we have implemented changes in the way we offer our services, modifications to our student and office spaces, and heightened cleaning protocols.
Because the situation is constantly progressing, we encourage you to follow us on Instagram (@kipukauhh) and Facebook (@kipuka) for the most up to date information on our services. We also encourage you to frequently check your UH emails and the UH Hilo COVID-19 website for campus wide information.

A kīpuka is a place surrounded by lava, protected, and able to flourish. The Kīpuka Native Hawaiian Student Center promotes a designated place of learning, at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, which allows students to thrive.
