HONOLULU (AP) — A Georgia teen battling cancer was accepted to the University of Hawaii Manoa as part of a trip with the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Camron Hulsey arrived at campus Monday when she received her dream tour of the school’s marine biology program. The 15-year-old high school sophomore says hopes to attend UH Manoa to earn a degree in the study. When she arrived at the school she was handed an honorary certificate of admission.

Hulsey and her younger sister and four brothers were able tour the schools facilities and get a hands on look at the marine life.

The school also told her they temporarily remained Coconut Island to Camron Island in honor of her visit.
