PACE is pleased to be a partner in this first-of-its-kind project at the University of Hawai‘i to build a student housing facility that integrates with an entrepreneurship center.
Building upon our 20+ year history of delivering exceptional entrepreneurial programming for students and faculty of all disciplines, PACE is excited to expand our operations to offer our current flagship programs along with new and exciting entrepreneurial programs and leadership opportunities at RISE. Through the new PACE Leaders program, students are able to help activate our space within RISE, gain skills and apply for thousands of dollars in scholarships.
RISE is privately managed by BHOM. The facility offers single- and double-occupancy residences for both undergraduate and graduate students of all majors.
To learn more about living at RISE, go to risemanoa.com, call 808-468-1711, or email riseuhmanoa@bhomstudentliving.com.
Big mahalo to AHL for designing our new space in RISE
UNLEASHING THE ENTREPRENEURIAL POTENTIAL OF STUDENTS
RISE is designed to allow students to come together and explore their passions, solve complex problems, test their ideas, access support services, and launch companies within an environment that fosters collaboration, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Students from all UH campuses—not just RISE residents—will have access to PACE’s co-working space, meeting rooms, maker spaces, and educational programs which include mentorship, startup training, skills development, and funding.
RISE residents will have the bonus benefit of living side by side with students who share the same drive and ambition in a new and innovative dorm. The building offers a fresh take on dorm-style living with lounges and courtyards where residents can unwind, relax, and connect with friends. Read below for more features and contact our student housing partner, BHOM, to apply to live at RISE.
PACE programs teach students to:
Solve complex problems
Flex their creativity muscle
Collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds
Communicate effectively
Build leadership capacity
Assess risk
Execute a plan
