Customer service workshop offered

The College of Continuing Education and Community Service at the University of Hawaii at Hilo is offering Exceptional Customer Service: The New Strategy to Boosting Sales from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday in UH-Hilo’s UCB Room 331.

The cost is $150.

The workshop is an interactive and engaging course taught by Lani Weigert, who will show participants how to identify and assess customers’ needs to achieve satisfaction, how to build sustainable relationships of trust through open and interactive communication and how to meet personal and team sales goals by providing more service rather than more selling.

‘Fuel up,’ support the Arc of Hilo

The Arc of Hilo was selected as a beneficiary of the Ohana Fuels “Fuel up. Do good” program through the month of May.

Ohana Fuels partners with nonprofit organizations that serve the needs of the local community and donates a portion of sales from every gallon of gasoline and diesel purchased at all Ohana Fuels stations in that community.

The Arc has served people with developmental and other disabilities for 62 years through educational, vocational and skills training as well as employment and residential opportunities.

UH-Hilo pharm students honored

Student pharmacists from the University of Hawaii at Hilo Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy were honored recently as the Most Improved Chapter at the national American Pharmacists Association meeting and exposition in Baltimore.

The students competed against chapters across the country from within the American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists.

APhA-ASP was one of the first student organizations at DKICP since the college began in 2007. It is active in multiple community wellness programs and health fairs and successfully organized a student-run initiative to help pass a Hawaii state law allowing first-year pharmacy students to receive their intern licenses.
