360° Virtual Tour

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we are still not able to host in-person tours. We anticipate better days ahead, but until then we will be creating a library of virtual tours to showcase key areas on campus. These 360° tours are interactive and you can use your mouse or mobile device to “look around” while you watch the video. Give it a try!

It is not always about academics at Leeward. You can have a little bit (or a lot) of fun! Students from our Pearl City or Wai‘anae Moku campus can participate in one or more of the following areas. Learn more about Student Life at Leeward!
