The University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Stan Sheriff Center will be the site of 11 graduations in May, many of which will be high school graduation ceremonies.

The University is warning that the ceremonies may cause traffic in the area. In particular, traffic delays will occur around UH Manoa campus two hours before and one hour after each ceremony.

The first graduation ceremony at Stan Sheriff will be for UH West Oahu on Saturday. UH Manoa’s graduation ceremony will be held the following weekend on May 13.

After Aloha Stadium closed in 2020, the Stan Sheriff was used for more high school graduations. This year, the Neal S. Blaisdell Center is being renovated, limiting the number of graduation ceremonies it will hold.
