“We all have wisdom both inherent and acquired. Wisdom and knowledge have been entrusted to us from our kūpuna (elders) and mākua (parents). As another medium of learning, the University of Hawaiʻi provides opportunities to develop and expand our naʻauao through academics and socialization.”

Isaiah Kaʻauwai, Title IX Coordinator, Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Officer, Kauaʻi Community College
