* Origins of Astronomy in Hawaii, 12:00-1:00 pm, Imiloa Astronomy Center. The public is invited to a free talk by Dr. Walt Steiger on the origins of astronomy in Hawaii. Knowledge of the night sky was very much a part of early Hawaiian culture. Western astronomy sporadically entered the scene but did not achieve a permanent foot-hold until 1957 with the advent of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), leading to a solar observatory on Oahu and later atop Haleakala. The incredibly clear skies above Hawaiis mountains soon attracted some of the worlds major telescopes.
ANNOUNCEMENTS and OPPORTUNITIES

MyUH Portal to find out their grades (paper grade reports are not mailed to students).
* Take a survey! If during the present academic year you have used the services of the Student Health Services (2nd floor Campus Center) and/or the Counseling Center (2nd floor Student Services Building), we would very much appreciate your taking a few minutes to complete a
short satisfaction survey so that we can use the information to improve services to students next year. Since we are here to serve you, there is no one better to let us know how we are doing! From Carolyn Lesnett, Director of Student Health Services, and Larry Test, Director of Counseling Center.
