Telling stories and missionary experiences from the life of Sela Feinga and her family through the play “Follow the Light,” performed on campus with an all-Tongan cast, said her daughter, Carol Feinga, brought their family closer together as well as BYU–Hawaii’s Tongan students and the local community.
Steven Yamamoto, stake president of the Honolulu Hawaii stake, said when he was engulfed in the darkness of the back of a moving van, the bright light of a small cell phone screen calmed him. He explained, “The light on the phone immediately eased my mind and I could breathe again. My anxieties and panic immediately disappeared. It was amazing that the tiny bit of light would provide such a great relief.”
Bold colors and found paper, similar to collage art, make up the work of local artist Haunani Hess, who said she is directly inspired by the nature and culture surrounding her on Oahu. Her pieces are filled with mountains, aquatic scenes and photography, demonstrated in bright watercolors on the background of found pages from books.
BYU–Hawaii’s Sustainability Center’s manager, Leslie Harper, suggested several ways to be self-sustaining, such as using low-flow shower heads, learning organic gardening and raising animals for food.
Alexa Milad said her close relationship with Jesus Christ has led her to feel deep love for others and created a passion for service and intercultural peacebuilding. She said on her first humanitarian trip to Brazil at the age of 14, she taught English, empowered the children there and expanded her own views of the world. She also met a young man named Douglas Oliveira, a skilled and passionate dancer who specializes in ballet.
Studying social work at BYU–Hawaii has brought the world closer to her, said Lauren Goodwin, a senior from Colorado. “Connection between people is so important to living a good life, being a good person and being able to help others. One of the biggest jobs of being a social worker is having the desire to help and do what’s best for the people you are helping.”
Watching university students crowd around a textbook to take photos of it with their smartphones was one of the eye-opening experiences Joel Helms, professor in the Faculty of Math & Computing, said he had during his time in Belize with the Fulbright Program in 2019.
Alumna Annie Wong, who is now the area director of communication for the Church for all of Asia, said learning about people and how their cultures influence who they are can be credited to her conversion to the Church and attending BYU–Hawaii. She said her experience of meeting different people would have been very different if she had stayed in Hong Kong for school.
Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education & Social Work, Eric Rackley, suggested staff begin the Fall Semester with a more empathetic approach to help cultivate care for students and positivity for all. He acknowledged how many students will be joining BYU–Hawaii this Fall from countries and regions that have been affected differently by the pandemic.
The Sustainability Center at BYU–Hawaii is expected to start producing enough fresh food for the cafeteria for all students and faculty on campus to enjoy. The farm is equipped with livestock, fruits and vegetables, a bike shop, as well as a Give and Take area for students to take home recycled items.
Emilio Valenciano said he prefers making videos over photographs because he likes to tell stories and create an emotional connection with the audience.
Although she would have loved to have an in-person experience at the Missionary Training Center, Sister Tess Jones said Heavenly Father had a different plan for her as a missionary serving during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was difficult to miss out on traditional missionary experiences, she said, but she could see the miracles accomplished despite the changes.
Noah England attended a service project on the temple grounds on May 15, 2021. He said his favorite part of the project was meeting new people from backgrounds different than his own. He said he has seen the friends he made around campus since the project and is grateful because, as a new student, he said he no longer feels like a stranger on campus.
