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.

Where Are They Now? Acting Classes Are Lessons In Life (Acting Courses)
Learning and growth come in different forms. In this episode, we walk along with Nolan Hong who shared his heartfelt journey with one of our beloved instructors, Lina Doo. His message highlighted how education comes from places one would least expect. It was instructors who instilled confidence when no one else would, it was those classmates who stood by your side no matter what, and it was the dynamic campus demographic that offered various points of view. He embraced these experiences and created this own path. “I got a degree in life.” It was pure joy to be a part of this interview. I’m certain Lina’s spirit is around us, especially with Nolan, giving her nod of approval.
