"Updated 11/24" In December of 2008 the current campus Food Service Contract will be expiring. UHHSA is communicating with students to find out what is wanted in our campus Food Service Contract. UHHSA has also created a Food Service Committee dedicated towards gathering input from the student body and relaying it to the Vice Chancellors Food Service Committee. At 1:00 pm on Wednesdays students are gathering to discuss this contract and other food related issues on campus and in the community. Discussions are held on the lawn in front of the Library Lanai.
4) Sustainable Campus
"Updated 11/24" UHHSA acknowledges the need to promote a sustainable and energy independant campus. We are working with UH-Hilo administrators to make sure that we move toward that goal.

For more information please contact us via email, phone or stop by the office.
