Nāulu Center
nā.ulu: sudden shower, showery, to shower. a rain associated with Honouliuli, ‘Ewa, O‘ahu
Named for the rains that shower the vast lands of Honouliuli, Nāulu brings growth and prosperity to our campus and surrounding communities with its heavenly downpour of invigorating rain. This name was chosen for the center by a small group of young Native Hawaiian educators who include Pohai Medeiros, Kainoa Nahulu, Kimberly Reed, Hoku Talo, Welaahilani Wahilani and Pu‘u Zablan.
The Nāulu Center design and development was founded upon Hawai’i Papa O Ke Ao goals, specifically, to create a native Hawaiian place to develop activities and programs that build and sustain a community of learners.
Several goals and objectives are integral to the Nāulu Center, which include the following:
- Perpetuate cultural values, traditions, and practices to strengthen sense of belonging and sense of place.
- Cultivate civic engagement and student leadership through service and community partnerships.
- Nurture thriving relationships and collaboration amongst campus and community.
- Sustain a safe, inclusive and nourishing space founded on Hawaiian cultural values where students can gather, socialize, and participate in activities.
- Provide space, resources, and holistic opportunities for students on their paths to excellence.
- Nurture the overall wellbeing of our students, campus, and community.
