There are so many ways to use an education degree. Whether it’s in the classroom, administration, student support, grants, or educational programs outside of a traditional school setting, there is a place for everyone to make a difference.
As a recent graduate of the Secondary Education program, I’m excited to be continuing my journey supporting students through the University of Hawaiʻi Center on Disability Studies. I couldn’t be happier with this new opportunity and look forward to sharing tips on getting connected at the university, building meaningful experiences, and finding where your passion fits within education.

Last month, The College of Education held its annual Graduate Student Research Symposium. This symposium takes every year and is an opportunity for students to get feedback on their work and meet people from throughout the college. I highly recommend all students to participate in this wonderful community!

Community Work Days at Ka Papa Lo‘i O Kānewai are open to all UH Mānoa students and community members. It’s a chance to get hands-on with traditional Hawaiian farming practices, connect with the ʻāina, talk story with practitioners, and learn in a way you won’t get in a classroom. Living here comes with the responsibility to care for this place, this is one way to show up and give back. 🌱 #UHManoa #Hawaii #SMAP
