CARBON COUNTY — Carbon County residents have plenty of options to get out and about this summer with these events taking place in the community.

Last year inflation soared to near-historic highs, prompting colleges to raise tuition or make cuts as they dealt with rising operational costs. Now inflation has leveled off, but the higher education sector is still being squeezed by the lingering effects of elevated costs and ongoing supply chain issues.

Work begins this month on a long-awaited renovation of the former Sinclair Library at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, transforming the venerable building into a Student Success Center that is expected to open in fall 2025.

A new student center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa will cost $16 million more than expected and open about a year later than first scheduled, and officials say inflation and pandemic-related delays are to blame.

The Student Success Center will be a vibrant hub of student activity that will encourage students to stay on campus, between classes and after hours.
