Joshua Kamalani wearing his winning design

Get ready for the fall semester with this year’s student-designed HI Pride T-shirt available at the University of Hawaiʻi Bookstore System. The 2023 HI Pride T-Shirt Design Contest winner is UH West Oʻahu student Joshua Kamalani.

Kamalani garnered 665 votes for his design that depicts HI Pride with images of a palm tree and flowers. “All around the island, the different aspects of Hawaiʻi create a sensory experience that is truly unique to Hawaiʻi. I take pride of the life I get to experience,” Kamalani said. “I take pride of the land I stand on. I take pride in the place I call home. This is my Hawaiʻi Pride.”
