23rd Annual Cherry Blossom Festival Celebrates Spring and Honors Dr. Nadine Hata's Legacy
El Camino College celebrated its 23rd Annual Cherry Blossom Festival on March 15. At the event, El Camino students shared their original haiku poetry and professional taiko drum group Asano Taiko U.S. performed. 

The “Dr. Nadine Ishitani Hata Memorial Cherry Blossom Festival” is named after El Camino’s former vice president of academic affairs, who passed away in 2005. An internationally known scholar who was extremely involved in academia and community work, Dr. Hata was instrumental in bringing the cherry trees to campus 23 years ago. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. donated the trees as a traditional gesture of friendship, similar to the cherry trees given to the United States by Japan in 1912. American Honda also generously contributed to an endowed scholarship in Dr. Hata’s name in 2006. “Sharing this meaningful tradition each year is a wonderful way to bring the college and community together,” said El Camino College President Brenda Thames. “We are also proud to honor Dr. Hata’s legacy with this festival that celebrates spring and friendship.”
