Welcome!
Hi All,
The Association for Diplomacy and Military Studies at Hawai'i Pacific University is open to all HPU students who are interested in diplomacy and military studies.
We've decided to expand and start a blog as a supplement to the Diplomacy and Military Studies group on Facebook. Rather than maintaining two separate groups we've decided that a blog is the way to go. Not only will it give us a place to archive outdated information but allow access to those who don't care to have a Facebook Account. You will find that the archive along the left side of the screen contains any past posts for events and opportunities. We hope that through this medium you will stay current on upcoming events and be able to participate in said events.
Thanks for stopping by! There's surely more to come!
