Native Hawaiian Student Services

Student lounge with computers, printing, and snack bar. The staff are super friendly. Not only for native Hawaiians. They have a section in this office where there’s scholarships and events too.

I went to UH Mānoa to check out the campus and went to the Queen Liliuokalani Student Services Building. In there is where NHSS is housed, being native Hawaiian and seeing it upon entering the structure on the second floor I decided to check it out to see what resources they had.
Its cool because its easy to spot from the outside and the hours its open is right on the door. When you enter there’s a staff member where I asked a bunch of questions on scholarships and stuff that’s around campus and they were really nice and knowledgable.
They have a wall full of events and stuff happening around on and off campus, volunteer opportunities, scholarships the whole bit. They have donation optional printing, a snack bar, computers to use/​rent, lounge area, recycling system, and overall their lounge space is very functional and helpful if and when I decided to come to this campus.
Its nice to know that when I transfer there’s someplace that I can go, that’s not outside, that I can chill and do my homework or just study. I’m glad I decided to stop by into NHSS I will definitely be back here soon.

I am a minority living on the island of Oahu and spend my hard earned money gaining a post-​graduate education at the University of Hawaii. I have attended other colleges’ student services centers and never seen one more focused on something other than an education than Native Hawaiian Student Services at this university. I have several friends that utilize this facility for resources but they, like me find out that this Services department is more focused on bashing the U.S. government and promoting a Hawaiian sovereignty movement rather than helping minority and Native Hawaiian students further their educations to help them succeed in todays complex work environment. There are posters and messages everywhere promoting the TMT movement… what about the students who support the telescope development??? There are also employees there who have stated out loud that they don’t believe other minorities deserve nor need student services… She, herself, shouldn’t be working in a higher education environment in my opinion. I for one, along with several of my other educated Native Hawaiian friends will avoid this location, if to simply not be a part of a subjective movement and would rather focus on our educations.

I love coming here! It’s located in the Queen Liliuokalani Center for Student Services. It’s a Native Hawaiian Student Services Resource Center, but all are welcomed!
They have an array of services of tutoring, printing, computer, counseling, and lounging. They also have plenty of seating, a small native Hawaiian library, and a snack bar. Everyone is so nice here, I also chill here inbetween my classes.
They also let you know about different events that are happening on campus as well as outside of campus concerning academic and cultural events.
