Mortar Board Senior National Honor Society is one of the oldest organizations at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. It has long been recognized throughout the campus and O'ahu community for its continued partnership with diverse service projects with other student clubs and non-profit organizations all over the island. This is a national collegiate honor society for students in their senior year. Each chapter is typically comprised of only a handful of carefully selected applicants for the year - the Hui Po'okela Chapter usually does not exceed 25 members at a time. Potential members are chosen based on how they measure in accord with Mortar Board's key values: scholarship, leadership, and service. Those who excel in said values are then carefully examined through a series of interviews hosted by the chapter's current members. Once in Mortar Board, you will engage in various community service and fundraising activities. It is a great opportunity to give back to the community and form close friendships with your fellow Mortar Board members.
This honor society is more than just prestige, but rather, an opportunity for every undergraduate senior to make a local impact in their campus and community before they graduate. Once in Mortar Board, every member will engage in various community service and fundraising activities. We not only help support the University of Hawaiʻi and the Oʻahu community but above all, we are making a global impact by building and growing the best leaders of tomorrow.
