The premier mentorship and awards event for University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Shidler College of Business celebrated its 60th anniversary this year. Business Night recognizes top students annually for their achievements and pairs students with business professionals for an evening of learning and sharing. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s event was held virtually on May 6.
With support from Hawaiʻi’s business community, alumni and friends, the college presented 47 awards totaling $87,000 to top undergraduate and graduate students. The college also featured a special 60th anniversary video highlighting the impact Business Night has had on students throughout the years.

Alec Tuason, a second-year marine biology student and
UH Mānoa esports player, worked with
OWL to set up the broadcast equipment, player setups, backdrops and lounge areas. Tuason also helped manage the
UH Mānoa esports Twitter account and worked as an event photographer.
“One of the main takeaways from this week for me was just how much work goes into a production as large as the Overwatch League,” Tuason said. “Countless hours are spent meticulously putting the whole broadcast setup together and making sure everything runs smoothly. So many different pieces have to come together for something of this scale, and it all takes time.”
