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
The roads in life are never a straight but a mix of twist and turns with opportunities along the way. In this episode we had a blast talking story with Kapi‘olani Community College alumna, Colette Higgins. This Kaimukī HS Class of 1984 graduate talks about her time at Star Market working full-time, to retracing the steps of Queen Kapi‘olani, to becoming the current Division 1 Dean of Academic Affair at Windward Community College. She even provides words of encouragement for those on the fence of starting their college career. Please enjoy!
