University of Hawaii at Manoa Campus Security is alerting students of an incident where a student was given a date rape drug.
It happened on Friday, February 24 at Hemenway Hall in Manoa Gardens.
The woman said she was approached by two men she did not know and was given a drink.
She says she has no memory of the rest of the night and woke up in an off-campus apartment with a person she did not know.
