At Montana or SUNY-Brockport, seeing a student donning a sundress overtop a bikini or board shorts would be an unlikely sight. Not at Hawai’i though!

Eleanor visited UH-Hilo on the Big Island and UH-Manoa on Oahu this week and lost count of the beach clothing attired students and the number of friendly students.

The UH-Hilo study abroad fair on Tuesday and Wednesday generated serious interest in the Global Vulcans programs. Dr. Cam Muir, pictured left with Eleanor, who lead their 2010 New Zealand program stropped by the fair, as did Dr. Bill Mautz who will lead Australia 2011.

Throughout Eleanor’s visit, students offered to escort her to meetings and show her around campus. Carolina Lam’s team of student volunteers made every aspect of the fair run flawlessly.

Sunny skies, except for her last day, and temperatures in the mid-80s made for a steamy but beautiful time in Hawai’i for Eleanor.
