A major part of our culture in Hawaiʻi is celebrating food and we love sharing it, which has become even more important lately, since many of our friends and family are struggling during these difficult times. And while we cannot control what goes on outside, we can control what goes on inside. So on behalf of the Wellness Hui, we would like to invite you to submit your favorite healthiest recipe(s) to be included in our UHMC’s Wellness Hui Cookbook!

The UHMC Book Club brings UHMC faculty, staff and community members together for discussion and sharing ideas based on books selected on topics relating to diversity, education, equity and the human condition. The UHMC Book Club comes together every last Friday of the month. Retired UHMC Librarian Dorothy Tolliver leads rich discussion that develops members’ expression and knowledge, while making connections with colleagues and community members.

The UHMC Craft Hui offers UH Maui College employees a venue to expand their social circle at work to increase productivity and satisfaction. The Blue Zones Project suggests that expanding employee networks and connecting with broader groups (moais) builds healthy and lasting relationships. Led by UHMC Fashion Technology Program Coordinator Cheryl Maeda, current and former Maui College employees transcend the craft projects they create to form a healthier work environment and long-term well-being.
