Kuilei Courageous Conversations
Kapi‘olani Community College is an extremely special place because we are named after Queen Julia Na-pela-kapu-o-Kakaʻe Kapi‘olani. The Queenʻs motto is Kūlia i ka Nu’u, Strive for your Highest, which can be felt through the words in our podcast. Kuilei Courageous Conversations hosted by Kapi‘olani Community College’s Kuilei Outreach Program is a series of talks and interviews around students success through the lens of our students, staff, and faculty. We will cover topics around our outstanding community of students and employees, the application process, how to finance college, and other exciting highlights that make Kapi‘olani Community College the place to Kūlia i ka nuʻu, strive for your highest. We truly appreciate the opportunity to share what we have to offer. Check us out at www.kapiolani.hawaii.edu. Mahalo.

Episode 4
We wrap up this Season with Partner Akiona, who graduated with his Associate in Arts and Bachelor's degree in Hawaiian Studies. In this episode he talked about over coming obstacles from being placed on suspension to being on the Dean's List...TWICE! His insights around student success were AWESOME, which actually comes to no surprise since he was one of our best peer mentors.
Please enjoy and share widely. Thank you!
