In 2017, graduating Filipinx students collaborated with the University of Hawai'i at Manoa's College of Education - Tinalak Filipino Advisory Council to put on the very first FilGrad. On Saturday, May 6, 2017, we held the very first FilGrad at UHM in the Art Auditorium. We celebrated 24 Filipinx graduates including one Masters student and one Ph.D. student. We were joined by 24 Filipinx faculty who celebrated along side our families and friends.
In 2018, the FilGrad committee put together a promo video to encourage more Filipinx students to participate. Spearheaded by Raju Dasai and Amy Sojot, the 2nd Annual FilGrad Recognition Ceremony took place on Friday, May 11, 2018 at Andrew’s Amphitheatre. There were 57 graduate students that celebrated a momentous milestone. FilGrad participants included six recipients of a doctoral degree, four recipients of a graduate degree, and 47 recipients of an undergraduate degree.
The 3rd annual FilGrad was the largest celebration yet. Held at the Keoni Auditorium on Friday, May 10, 2019, over 60 graduates came together to celebrate their accomplishments with their loved ones. This year we had 2 Ph.D students, 8 MD students, Masters, and undergraduates.
