Hawai‘i Community College recently celebrated and wished more than 250 graduates a bright future during spring 2024 commencement ceremonies in Hilo and Waikōloa.
A strong thunderstorm and flash flooding nearly led to the cancellation of the May 10 ceremony for the college’s Manono campus at the Edith Kanaka‘ole Multi-Purpose Stadium in Hilo. But in typical Hilo fashion, the sun emerged just in time to shine on the 155 graduates in attendance.
The ceremony proceeded with joy and celebration under clear skies, marking a memorable day for all.
Weather conditions weren’t that rough when the community college’s Pālamanui campus in Kailua-Kona hosted its spring commencement May 11.
The ceremony at the Hilton Waikōloa Village Resort in Waikōloa honored 99 graduates.
