COVID-19 has had its way with the world in 2020, but it couldn't stop folks from celebrating 10 University of Hawai`i Hilo student-athletes and one staff member that graduated this past Saturday.

The UHH athletic department set up pop-up tents on Nowelo Street to wave signs, cheer and congratulate those that graduated at the end of the Fall semester. The Drive-By, set up for all UH HIlo graduates, began at 10 a.m. on Saturday (Dec. 19) and ended around 11:30.
