Welcome to Part 2 of Abby’s huaka‘i adventure! 🌺

Join our amazing SMAP as she takes you behind the scenes to see how our College of Education students create their kīhei’s for the convocation ceremony! 🎓✨ While this practice looks a little different across programs, Abby’s giving us an inside look at what it’s like from the Secondary Education Program’s perspective. 💗

We’re excited to see these beautiful kīheis worn at the ceremony!

Happy WIHI Wednesday 📍 & Baseball Season!! ⚾
SMAP Ambassador Jewel shares where youll find be around for the next few months!

I frequently go to the UH baseball games with my family and friends and am excited baseball season just started again. Since my courses are online, I especially enjoy attending athletic events and other activities on campus. My dad (pictured on the left) used to play baseball in college for Texas A&M, so he got me into watching baseball.

We love a good activity the whole family enjoys together! 💗

Happy Tuesday! Our Teacher Hero shoutouts of the day are the COEs very own Dr. Seungoh Paek and Dr. Christine Sorensen Irvine, from the Learning Design and Technology Department (LTEC)! 🍎🖥️ Jewel, a PhD student in LTEC, and our SMAP Ambassador shares why they are her teacher heroes:

The Learning Design and Technology program is full of amazing professors, but my COE Teacher Heroes are Dr. Seungoh Paek and Dr. Christine Sorensen Irvine, my dissertation committee co-chairs. I am so grateful to Dr. Chris for her knowledge and dedication, as she guided me through the initial stages of my dissertation. Her passing in 2023 deeply saddened me, and Dr. Paek stepped in to continue the work that Dr. Chris had started with me. Dr. Paek invested countless hours towards helping me navigate numerous challenges. She also devoted additional time to encourage and support me as I prepared to present at an international conference last year. Both of my co-chairs were incredibly compassionate and committed, and I am truly thankful for them.

We love to hear it, Jewel! 💚

Honestly, whos a better advocate for UH, and the COE than our own students? 
Our SMAP Ambassador, Paige, shares her perspective on this 4UHGivingDay 🤙

Being a student at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa has made me appreciate being able to call Hawaiʻi home. It is the best place to form connections with others, grow as an individual, and to feel a sense of belonging. I feel so lucky to have been apart of a community that is so supportive and nurturing. My journey of pursuing my degree in Elementary and Special Education has been an influential experience that I will hold onto for the rest of my life. Throughout my years at UH, I have learned so much about myself and I can say that feel ready to turn the Paige to the next chapter of my life!

We so appreciate you, Paige! 💚

If you have the means, please consider giving! Your gift can spark transformative change in supporting student success, funding research that matters, caring for our environment, inspiring innovation and entrepreneurship, and building Hawai‘i’s workforce. No matter the size, every gift sends a powerful message that together, we will uplift our students, our campuses, and our entire Hawai‘i community.
