This fund provides support for the KOKUA Program as it strives to create and ensure equal access to services, programs, and activities of the University of Hawaii at Manoa by students with physical and/or mental disabilities.
This fund was established in recognition and appreciation of the long years of service Ann Ito devoted to KOKUA, the program which provides access services to students with disabilities to ensure their full participation.
