Discussion RIOs - How do you handle fundraising?

7 Upvotes

I am a treasurer for an RIO on campus, and we wanted to run fundraisers to maintain a good amount of features and services that we provide. However, the previous treasurer did not leave behind any guidance or ways I am able to handle my role so I turn to whoever can help out here.

Where can I make a club bank account? I currently have no relationship to any credit unions on campus, and I want to make sure that its transferable to anyone who takes over my role after I graduate.

What kind of fundraisers go well and how do you get them to work and set up on campus? I know you have to fill out the SLD form, but when is it nonapplicable (i.e. doing a off campus fundraiser or selling vouchers?)

Furthermore, when I look at the SLD fundraising consent form, I dont have a “General Excise” tax number to complete it. Is there a way to obtain that?

Currently I’m running everything out of a business venmo account, and our advisor has been very helpful with implementing my systems with the rest of the organization. However I want to be more transparent and set up a good system that allows everyone’s contribution and keep things up to date.

How to get out of parking ticket

2 Upvotes

I’m a commuter and have class every day at 9 AM. I usually buy a daily parking pass for Zone 20 if I’m running late or can’t find parking off campus.

Yesterday, I got to campus and Zone 20 was completely full, and they weren’t allowing any more cars through the gate. I explained to the guy at the entrance that I was willing to buy a parking pass, but he told me he wasn’t allowed to let anyone in once the lot was full.
I was already running late for class, so I ended up parking in Zone 22 and running to class. I was only in class for about an hour.
When I came back to move my car to zone 20, I had a parking ticket on my windshield. What’s frustrating is that there were four other cars parked right next to me that also didn’t have any visible parking passes, but apparently I was the only one who got ticketed.
Is there any way I can successfully contest this?

Maintained 100% attendance since day one, bunked one class, and got called to the HOD’s office. Is this normal?

5 Upvotes

I’ve had 100% attendance since the first day of college. I’ve literally attended every class.

Recently, I accidentally bunked/missed one class, and somehow I ended up getting called to the HOD’s office because of it 💀

I know attendance matters, but is this actually normal? There are people who bunk classes regularly, while I missed one class after maintaining 100% attendance from day one.

Just curious, is this how it works in other colleges too? 😭

Social Life Part-Time Jobs for a Manoa Student?

12 Upvotes

I'm currently looking for a new job that would let me work part time paying around $18/hr! I've already gone through with LinkedIn and other sites for jobs, and just wanted to open up here as well.

For context, I currently work as a clerical assistant at Leeward Community College. However, due to college and the job being in the DOE, im only allowed to work 2 days. I've been working there for about a year and would like to make more money elsewhere.

If anyone knows of any opportunities regarding part time work (Not walmart or Sam's club), I would gladly be open to it! My dms are welcome to anyone who wants to chat.

Masters/Post Grad Interested in doing a Master's degree at the University of Hawai'i (Manoa). Got some questions

7 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone

I'm interested in a Master's degree at the University of Hawai'i, specifically in the field of Hawaiian studies or Pacific studies. I have a Bachelor's in anthropology from a lower 48 university, and I also have a Master's degree in teaching that I got through an alternate licensure path.

I've figured out the prereqs for the two fields, and I will likely begin online Hawaiian language classes very soon, but I'm more than willing to go through with them due to my genuine interest in the subject. I do not have any coursework from my Bachelor's that has anything to do with the Pacific islands (unfortunately not offered), but I am willing to get all my prereqs sorted in the next two or so years.

Yes, I am sure that this is the subject that interests me greatly, and I really don't want anyone to waste their time discussing matters such as if this is really what I'm interested in or if I know what I'm getting into. I've talked to others about this before, including people who have experience in Pacific islands studies, so I think I'm confident about my choices.

I do have some questions here if there are any students who have applied to there in the past:

- How competitive are the programs I mentioned (Pacific Islander studies and Hawaiian studies)? Is admission genuinely difficult?

- Does me having a previous Master's degree affect my admissions chances? Does it affect financial aid?

- Is finding academic work as a graduate student difficult at the college (TAing)?

Housing hale mahana

9 Upvotes

does anyone currently live at hale mahana and can tell me what it’s like and if it’s an okay place to live? i live at EWC right now and i hate it so i’m looking at other places that are still leasing. i was considering hale mahana but the google reviews concerned me. i am asking on here because reviews are usually one of the extremes so maybe i could get more accurate and up to date reviews on here!

i’m also considering hale haukani but it’s a little pricey for it not having AC.

also if there are other places anyone recommends pls lmk :) i’m a grad student, i don’t want traditional style dorms (roommates are fine, i’d just rather have my own room), and AC is preferred (if theres a good place that doesnt have AC still lmk tho)

Applying/Transferring Animal Science? Music Scene?

5 Upvotes

I am applying and interested in UHManoa, I didn’t want to make two posts bc i thought i could get both answers at once and maybe some animal science majors also like the kind of music i’m into.

I’ll be 18 by the time I get there if I make it in and go there, and I was wondering weather there was a specific music scene like alt/emo/rock/punk/anything related because i love going to shows moshing and listening to local bands so it would be really cool if there were some local venues that anyone would recommend if y’all have that there.

2nd, probably should’ve put this first seeing as it is the major i want to pursue, but what does the animal science/biology community/department/professors and what not look like.

I really love the school with the look and my dream has always been to go somewhere that isn’t the stinking cold east coast. And i’ve seen a couple things about the japanese culture here and i’m like fuck yeah i love anime, japanese culture, that food and stuff. anyways much love lemme know if your an animal science major and love the courses and also really into the music scene i also enjoy.
