Our mission is to provide a social haven for students with a shared interest in Hawai’i and promote cultural awareness of Hawai’i and its people. ‘Ohana O Aikāne also strives to share the aloha spirit with the San Diego community through club events and community service. Please feel free to browse the website and email us for additional information!
Mahalo!
Come make a new study buddy in preparation for midterms! This is a great way to get out of the library while still being productive. This will also count towards member requirements!
Come learn a little about Hawaiian Culture and meet the members of Ohana O Aikane! We will be doing some fun activities, updating everyone on upcoming events, and finally playing a clip from last years luau. We will be heading over to Tap Ex after as well to socialize and eat! This is a great way to get to know the officers and other members, so I encourage everybody to come out! We will also be accepting orders and money for pareo’s ($6 each, black pareo for Tahitian, purple pareo for hula).
ERC Room is on the second floor of the Price Center Plaza area (where the theater, bookstore, and Round Table Pizza are). There are stairs and an elevator outside from Subway and Panda. These stairs go up to the 2nd floor. Once on the 2nd floor, follow the balcony path until you see a door labeled ERC Room.
Point Loma Nazarene University is hosting a benefit for those affected by the tsunami. They’re bringing together different pacific islander clubs from several colleges to perform and share the culture! This is an open event, so if anyone is interested in watching many different types of dance, there are a few spots left in the carpool. It will be in the Point Loma Nazarene University recreation room from 7:00pm – 9:00pm. Hawaii Club is performing at 8:30pm, so we will be leaving from UCSD at 6:40. If you are interested, please respond to the club email- ucsdhawaiiclub@gmail.com
Practice is NOT 2-4pm like last week! We will be learning some more Hula and Tahitian dancing! We will continue reviewing basics in both dance forms, as well as learning more of Carol’s Otea. We encourage guys of all skill levels to continue coming out to our practices. Remember to bring your ID, water, a pareo (sarong) if you have one, and clothes you would work out in. This is a dance room so most dancers prefer to be bare foot. See ya there!
Aloha everyone! We’re currently accepting applications for officer positions for next year! Go apply, go apply! Application is here: online application.
