Since 2017, the University of Hawai'i at Manoa has celebrated the hard work and graduation of our Filipinx undergraduate and graduate students. FilGrad was created for Filipinx students by Filipinx students as way to celebrate with family and friends this amazing milestone achievement. This new tradition within the community seeks to celebrate the rich cultural histories and contributions of Filipinx communities in Hawaiʻi. FilGrad puts the spotlight on students who have fulfilled the requirements to receive a degree at any level of higher education. Any Filipinx student or individual who embraces Filipinx culture can participate in FilGrad, regardless of major. FilGrad is only offered during Spring commencement but all Summer and Fall graduates in the same academic year are more than welcome to participate. Join us as we celebrate Filipinx excellence!
