The \u0100nuenue Connection Program, formerly known as the H\u0101nai Host Program, is geared towards improving the experiences of first-year students, regardless of major, and designed to support students who are from out of state and far from home; from the neighbor islands and may not be able to travel home easily; and those from <span aria-label=\"Oahu\">O&#699;ahu<\/span> who may find living at <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M\u0101noa to be a departure from their home environment. The program aims to increase the number of returning students by fostering the feelings of support and connection to the university \u02bbohana, as the first few weeks or months can be instrumental in retaining students for their entire collegiate education.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Workshop Wednesday: Mindful Way Through a Pandemic<\/strong><br \/>\nOctober 20, Noon&#8211;1 p.m, via Zoom<br \/>\nThis virtual workshop is open to student and mentor program participants to learn about the impact of the pandemic on peoples\u2019 mental and emotional health, and learn strategies for coping with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings in healthy ways using mindfulness.
