Students
The University of the Nations Kona (UofN Kona) campus, located at 75-5851 Kuakini
Hwy, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740.
UofN Kona would like to announce that in cooperation with Mayor Harry Kim and the
Department of Health (DoH) we expect to test 500 staff and students today, October 6,
2020. More testing will be conducted on Thursday to ensure all off-campus personnel
have also been tested.
There were no new cases on Sunday or Monday, October 4-5. UofN Kona remains
closed to the public with online classes only. All campus residents (staff, students, and
families) have been in voluntary self quarantine since Saturday, and off campus staff are
at “Stay-at-home” level. We are committed to completing the testing process as soon
as possible.
We wish to express our gratitude and appreciation to Mayor Harry Kim, State Officials,
and DoH for their assistance to quickly and efficiently test our entire community. We
are committed to caring for our Island Ohana by collaborating closely with all
authorities.
UofN Kona has lived and served in the community of Kona for 50 years and we
continue to work together with authorities to ensure the public safety and wellbeing of
the greater Kona community. UofN Kona provides free of charge, over 30,000 hours of
Kona based community service a year. In addition to providing food, shelter,
education, and counselling services to the vulnerable population of Kona, UofN Kona
also operates internationally through it’s compassionate Christian service all over the
