We are sad to announce that due to campus being closed, the NGSO Resource Fair & Activities Day has been canceled for Monday, August 17th.

The impact of this weekend's weather has been far reaching and we hope you remain safe. The NGSO On Demand Topic Sessions (go.hawaii.edu/JZF)are open through August 23rd. If you will be joining us for the NGSO Community Work Day, we look forward to seeing you then. Please keep an eye out for any future Graduate Division events that we offer throughout the school year.

Mahalo for your understanding. We wish you the best as you begin the fall semester.

Congratulations to this year's Mirikitani Outstanding Dissertation Awardee, Josefa Muñoz. Sefa followed green sea turtles from nesting and mating sites in the Mariana Archipelago to feeding grounds up to 2,500 kilometers away across the Pacific Ocean. Her dissertation provides some of the first detailed information about the little-studied population of green sea turtles that nest in the Mariana Archipelago. Read more about Sefa's research and why she was selected as the 2025-2026 awardee. https://go.hawaii.edu/RVp
