The Ohana Association

The Ohana Association (TOA) is organized to address issues concerning those of Pacific Island backgrounds, educate people about the diverse Pacific Islands’ heritages and traditions, as well as recruit, retain, and graduate fellow students. TOA officers, members, and advisor make great efforts implementing meaningful programming to increase and improve avenues of communication and interaction between the university and the Pacific Islander community; as well as organize cultural and social events to enhance the campus experience and education of WSU with a more focused lens on the university's Pacific Islander (PI) constituency. TOA strives to welcome new PI students to Weber State and provide a forum where they can openly express their experiences and thoughts while offering them moral support and peer guidance. Although TOA is primarily composed of students from the Pacific Islands, they strongly encourage everyone around to participate. While enrolled, TOA is a home base for students at WSU to harness and develop a passion to become active ambassadors for Pacific Islander peoples that carry further than the institution and out to a variety of communities and society as a whole.
