Mahalo nūnui kākou!

On behalf of campus leadership BUT more importantly on behalf of our graduates and their ʻohana, I would like to mahalo everyone for all you do to guide, cajole, mentor our students on their learning journey to graduation! As Nelson Mandela said:

Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world!

So, mahalo to everyone who supported our Spring 2022 graduation ceremonies from the planning to the set-up to the “celebratory day” (all the logistics of the day) to the clean-up!! WOW!! What an awesome experience!

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel!
