All BYU-Hawaii/CCH alumni* are invited and encouraged to participate in the university's complete Golden Jubilee calendar of activities and events.
- Each of the 40-plus BYU-Hawaii/CCH alumni chapters throughout the world is encouraged to plan and hold its own observance of the Jubilee celebration with appropriate activities during the year.
- The overall Golden Jubilee calendar calls for the first of these in conjunction with Founder's Day on February 12, 2005 - the same day 50 years ago that President David O. McKay pronounced his far-reaching blessing on the future site of the university.
- As chapters set their respective observances, details will be be posted on both this site and the Alumni Association page.
- Hawaii-based alumni are invited to join a choir which will perform at Songfest in April.
- PCC alumni are being asked to reprise their unforgettable Polynesian Cultural Center 40th anniversary night show performance during the hallmark week of October 16-23, 2005.
- The BYU-Hawaii/CCH Alumni Association will hold its annual two-day chapter chair conference during the same October 16-23 week.
* For the purposes of the Jubilee, "alumni" is broadly defined to include all BYU-Hawaii supporters; present or former students, all present and former faculty, staff, Polynesian Cultural Center associates, and labor missionaries and their family members.
