Created in 1972, Windward Community College primarily serves the windward Oahu region, offering college courses, non-credit classes, and community activities including an annual Hoʻolauleʻa,[3] typically held in September or October.

Windward CC's strengths are in Hawaiian studies, natural sciences, fine arts, veterinary technology, and vocational training. Most of the college's students are from the windward side of Oʻahu and transfer to 4-year colleges, including the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Hawaii Pacific University. Key facilities include Pāliku Theatre, Hōkūlani Imaginarium (a fulldome planetarium), Aerospace Exploration Lab (a hands-on physical science exploratorium), Lanihuli Observatory, Gallery ʻIolani (an art gallery), and a new Library Learning Commons that opened in 2012.

Campus

The campus features the 1998 granite and cast stone sculpture Kulia I Ka Nuʻu (Striving for the Summit) by Donald Harvey.

gollark: I can't really check this right now due to being on my phone; how does it work? I thought the useful ESP32 peripherals for this (I²S and maybe the RMT one) only went to 80MHz.
gollark: Just become sovereign so you can set your own laws about it.
gollark: Does it count if you modulate the interference by turning it on and off pretty fast?
