School of Travel Industry Management marks 40 years
The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s School of Travel Industry Management is planning a series of special events to commemorate its 40th anniversary. Topping the list is the school’s annual gala—TIM Night Presents: Celebrate a Legacy in tourism, Oct. 23 at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center.
Students began organizing and planning the event in January. It’s not only a fundraiser for the school, it’s a major hands-on opportunity for TIM students to work with professionals as they tackle event planning, sales and marketing, entertainment, food and beverage and a silent auction.

The focus this year will be on TIM’s four decades of success…
