Student Life

The University of Hawaii offers a wealth of co-curricular opportunities for personal learning and growth. In addition to top-notch athletic and recreational facilities and a wide array of cultural activities, there are over 200 organized student clubs. Five of these student organizations are for TIM students.

These clubs provide opportunities for students to interact with professionals from the travel industry community while improving students' communication skills and helping them to gain "real world" knowledge and experience.

Through the TIM student clubs, students participate in a variety of community service projects as well as learn more about the travel industry through tours, seminars and other club activities. TIM Students also are able to expand their network of contacts with both industry professionals and their peers. Some TIM student clubs also have the opportunity to attend monthly meetings or luncheons of professional associations.
