The Third Annual Hawai’i Community College Day took place recently on the Manono Campus. Hawai’i CC Day provides the opportunity to explore the programs, services, and resources that have made Hawai’i CC an exceptional place to learn since it was founded 75 yeas ago!Hawai’i CC Day celebrates the college’s value to our Hawai’i Island Community by engaging our current students, faculty, and staff with future students and the community for a fun day of demonstrations, exhibits, displays and more!Dignitaries were invited and given a tour of the campus and its programs. High school and intermediate school students were bused in for this public event.  Students had lots of fun at the different stations set up around the campus.  The programs showcased included nursing, fire science, culinary arts, carpentry, diesel mechanics, business, agriculture, digital media arts, and early childhood education. There were many hands-on and interactive stations where students got to get a taste of some future career options.Some students enjoyed finding out their typing speed at the Business Technology table.Other students enjoyed making birdhouses at the Construction Academy table.The engine shown on this forklift drew a lot of people to this station!  Lots of noise and energy was being generated here.
