Allyson Lagatuz - Welina Mānoa Organizer (16 seconds)

"So this is a chance for not just for students to explore what we offer, but also for other offices and departments to promote and get themselves out there because we have amazing resources out there."

Noah Castro - UH Mānoa Freshman (11 seconds)
"I think there's like a lot of information about the stuff that I didn't know there was and then like, the research stuff. If I didn't go here then I wouldn't know about it at all."

Presley Okimoto - UH Mānoa Freshman (11 seconds)

"I can feel a lot of excitement from the students here just like looking at the different clubs and stuff. And especially as a freshman looking at the different clubs they have over here is really good."
