The archives and special collections in the Joseph F. Smith Library contain more than 1,500 relics and items, ranging from photographs, microfilm, aging documents and cultural artifacts. According to University Archivist Brooks Haderlie, the archives serve the purpose of preserving the history and culture of BYU–Hawaii and the Laie community.
With the publication of his recent book, “Stories of The Temple In La’ie, Hawaii,” Church Historian Clint Christensen said he wanted to show how a temple could impact people over the course of a century. Acting as a compiler, Christensen worked to commemorate a hundred years of faith as he searched through different stories of saints to include in the book.
Deseret Book published “The Laie Hawaii Temple: A Century of Aloha,” and it is written by Eric-Jon Keawe Marlowe, an associate professor of Religion at BYU–Hawaii. The book is on sale at the BYUH Bookstore.
BYUH alumni say their desire to gain meaning inspired them to travel the world with their three kids
After feeling as if they were accumulating too many physical possessions and not enough memories, Jonathan Scalese and his wife Alyssa, both BYUH alumni from Maryland, decided to sell their house and cars to travel the world.
For its 2019 conference, the Mormon Pacific Historical Society held “LDS Temples In The Pacific: A Centennial Celebration” in various rooms of the HGB on Nov. 16. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Laie Hawaii Temple’s construction and dedication, the attendees selected seminars to attend about the temple and the Laie community.
With the arrival of Winter Break, many of BYU–Hawaii’s students, particularly those on the IWORK program, will spend the holidays in Laie. Holiday depression, or “holiday blues,” can be a time of joy, but it can also be a time of “sadness, self-reflection, loneliness, and anxiety,” according to WebMD. Students said they believed the best way to counter the holiday blues involved spending time with friends and staying active.
In 18 days, more than $26,000 was raised for the memorial service of BYU–Hawaii alumnus and United States Army Aviator Kirk Takeshi Fuchigami. These donations were made through Facebook by 552 people and counting.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Laie Hawaii Temple’s dedication, BYU–Hawaii students, some of whom converted from other faiths, as well as faculty, reflected on the sanctity of all religious structures. Although temples in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are held as the most sacred places for its members, students and faculty said it was important to treat temples and other sacred spaces not of their faith with the same respect and solemnity.
Students and parents from the faculty and Laie community gathered in the School of Education for a workshop entitled “How To Teach Spelling” on Saturday, Nov. 9. Hosted by Barbara Hong, professor of Special Education and the special assistant to the vice president of Access, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (AIDE), the workshop taught the attendees about how to teach children English spelling properly, so they would be able to excel in school.
With the theatrical release of “The Rise of Skywalker” in December, the “Star Wars” film series will end its main “Skywalker Saga,” which began back in 1977 with the release of the original film. In the 42 years since, the series branched out into other movies, comics, books, video games and TV series. BYU–Hawaii students and an alumna reflected on the impact the series made on them and why it is held in such importance.
On a transnational tour, Hubner donated one new set of tires to a person in need in each of the 50 states. Now on another national tour to 19 states talking about a book she wrote on her experience, Hubner said she found joy and love in educating and serving others.
A love for his “home away from home” and a desire to do good set BYU–Hawaii alumnus Clayton Kearl on the path to run all of Peru’s coast. In 115 days, Kearl, who graduated in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in business management, ran 1,567 miles, stopping to conduct trash pickups along the way. Now finished, he hopes to turn his run into a documentary to compete at the Sundance Film Festival.
Since its restoration, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter–day Saints and its members have been depicted in a variety of media. From haunting political cartoons of the 1880s to the sing-song, happy-go-lucky missionaries of the “Book of Mormon” musical, stereotypes of the Church are still prevalent. Students and a communications professor shared how stereotypes form because of fear or lack of understanding and how incorrect perceptions have personally affected them.
As the late hours approached on the night of Nov. 7, the BYU–Hawaii Chamber Orchestra, under the supervision of Maestro Ernest Taniguchi, performed selections from symphonies by Mozart and Johannes Brahms. Featuring an array of musicians composed of BYUH students, the orchestra was met with acclaim from the audience members for the deeper meaning behind its music.
The latest BYUH original musical may have seemed like a simple story about parents trying to get their children back, but beyond the music and lighting design, there existed an intent by the creators to comment on real-life issues. The writers and lyricists of “Gingerbread,” as well as one of the production crew, commented on these themes, and where the inspiration for the messages came from for the musical.
