(Welcome)

to an educational experience like none found anywhere else in the world

In traditional times, M anoa valley was expertly cared for and cultivated by Native Hawaiians. In return, it provided an abundance of sustenance and protection for its residents. Today, M anoa continues to furnish the resources that enable our institution to be a thriving land-, sea-, space-, and sun- grant university. In keeping with the Native Hawaiian manner of reciprocity, these blessings are passed on to you in the form of academic excellence so that you are equipped to take care of yourself, humanity, Hawai‘i, and the world.

"Ua mau ke ea o ka ‘āina i ka pono."

"The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."

(Motto of the State of Hawaiʻi)

DID YOU KNOW?

Each moku (district) was divided into ahupua‘a (wedge shaped land division extending from mountain to sea), a total of 80 on O‘ahu. The moku and ahupua‘a system were designed for the most efficient food sustainability and land management.

Kamehameha I

united all the islands under a single Hawaiian Kingdom.

Duke Kahanamoku

He was also the world’s best known surfer, and set the standards of modern day surfing.

Faculty

Some of the world’s most influential movers and shakers work and thrive on our Manoa campus. As experts in the classroom and in the field, UH M anoa faculty take the university to new heights in research and academics.

Dr. Kristine Qureshi

Assistant Professor of Theatre and Dance College of Arts, Languages, and Letters

Dr. Qureshi is a recognized expert in emergency preparedness and Pacific Islands nursing workforce development, and has worked extensively in the acute care, community health and academic sectors. She was instrumental in the state’s COVID-19 pandemic response and education efforts, including helping to develop the UH–Hawai‘i State Department of Health Contact Tracing Training Program. As global director of the International Council of Nurses Leadership for Change (LFC) Program since 2016, she redesigned the program to build capacity for effecting healthcare policy and practice change among nurse leaders to improve country-level health. Today, she heads the LFC program for national-level nurse leaders in Lesotho, Africa and will lead the program rollout in India.

Dr. Lorenzo Perillo is currently Assistant Professor of Theatre and Dance and affiliated faculty with the Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Center for Philippine Studies, and Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.

He earned his Ph.D. in Culture and Performance and Concentration in Asian American Studies at UCLA. He also holds a M.A. degree in American Studies and Graduate Certificate in International Cultural Studies from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.

Last fall, he published a book titled “Choreographing in Color: Filipinos, Hip-Hop, and the Cultural Politics of Euphemism” (Oxford University Press, 2020).

Dr. Alohilani Okamura

Institute for Teacher Education (ITE) Secondary World Languages College of Education

With more than 30 years of teaching Hawaiian language and developing programs in public and charter schools throughout the state of Hawai‘i, Dr. Okamura’s teaching is rooted in place-based learning. “In Hawaiian we say, “Auamo ke kuleana” or to carry your responsibility. As Hawaiian language kumu (teacher), it is our kuleana (responsibility) to perpetuate the language and culture. The best way to do this is by standing on the shoulders of the cultural giants and icons, who came before us. Through their selfless examples of Aloha, we are equipped to inspire and educate the next generation of Hawaiian language learners.” She earned the 2021 SWCOLT Excellence in Teaching Post-Secondary Award.

Being a Political Science major, you’d think that this degree would only apply to some sort of work in law or government. However, it fostered the awareness of my impact on the community and the importance of sustainability, sourcing local, social responsibility, etc. Those are all embedded in how I’ve created and organized my business.” -Zachary

Pictured on the cover is Kōnāhuanui, the highest peak in Mānoa Valley. Rising 3,150 feet in elevation, Kōnāhuanui is a mountain and major water source for the surrounding four ahupua‘a (land division) including Honolulu, Waikīkī, Kailua, and Kāne‘ohe. Kōnāhuanui is also the home of a kupua wahine (supernatural woman) who is noted in moʻolelo (story) as an observer of travelers and protector of the mountain. In another mo'olelo, Kōnāhuanui is also known as the peak that Kawelomahamahaʻia (from Kauaʻi) stood upon to throw the ʻōʻō stick (a tool, a ground breaking stick) that created the land of Kūkaʻōʻō, location of Mānoa’s famous Kukaʻōʻō Heiau, the last intact heiau (ancient temple) in Mānoa.

A special mahalo to UH Athletics, UH News, UH Alumni, Native Hawaiian Place of Learning Advancement Office, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i, Jose Magno, Leslie Dam, Nolan Omura, UH Mānoa Bookstore, Cameron Brooks, and our UH Mānoa Rainbow Warrior students for their image contributions.

The University of Hawai‘i at M -anoa is an equal opportunity, affirmative action institution.
