The University of Hawaii Student Caucus has partnered with the event sponsors, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and ALTRES Staffing, to offer all students in the University of Hawaii system free admission with a valid UH student ID card. Students can preregister for a ticket that they can print ahead of time, or they can show up at the box office to get a free ticket. The event could facilitate the job search for students graduating in May, allow continuing students to develop relationships with prospective employers, or enable students to find summer jobs.
The event also is free for servicemen and servicewomen in uniform, and for preregistered participants. Otherwise, the entry is $3 for general admission and $1 for students, military and non-UH students.
Business attire is strongly suggested.
