HILO, Hawai'i – More than 40 Vulcans student-athletes wrapped up completion-work toward a bachelor's degree and celebrated at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo 2024 Spring Commencement this past Saturday morning at the Edith Kanaka'ole Stadium.

Vulcans Men's Soccer's David Mayser served as the student speaker while UH Hilo professor of finance Terrance Jalbert was the keynote speaker.

The list of 38 spring graduates — plus three summer 2024 graduates — joins a group of six alumni who graduated earlier this year in fall 2023.
