GOOD HEALTH ON CAMPUS
PLEASE Remind your students to Remember to Self-Screen prior to arrival every day, bring a water bottle, and dont forget a mask.

The Colorado Consortium has teamed up again and organized a webinar for Hawaii students to learn more about all the options they have in Colorado! The presentation will include 14 colleges and universities from across the state coming together to provide resources for all interested students.
Throughout this 1.5 hour program, they will cover some basics about why Hawaii students love coming to school in Colorado, each of our institutions will do a brief presentation, and then we will have a 30 minute mini-fair portion for students to learn more about each university. This will be a great opportunity for your students to engage with a large number of universities in one evening!
