Operation Kuaʻana announces meetings

Operation Kua'ana is a student services support program at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Its goal is to encourage students of Hawaiian ancestry to perpetuate the excellence of their kupuna by continuing their education at UHM. In order to achieve this goal, Kua'ana sponsors weekly meetings and workshops for all students of Hawaiian ancestry at UHM. At these meetings, guest speakers share their thoughts on a variety of Hawaiian issues and on the importance of education for all Hawaiians. Operation Kua'ana invites all students of Hawaiian ancestry to attend the meetings, at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday in Moore Hall, Room 228. On April 8 there will be a group discussion with students to find out how they are doing in their classes, if they need assistance, and ways Kua'ana ean assist them. On April 15, Haunani Apoliona, director of

Alu Like, will be the guest. She will discuss her work at Alu Like, and the importance of the Hawaiian language. And finally, Meleanna Meyer, a graduate student of UHM, will speak on April 22, giving her insight into studying and learning techniques. It is Meyer's philosophy that education should not take plaee in the classroom alone but that we all have the opportunity and the responsibility to seek resources beyond the confines of an educational institution. Operation Kua'ana would like to encourage all students of Hawaiian ancestry to attend these meetings. Finally, we congratulate all students of Hawaiian ancestry who chose to perpetuate the excellence of our kupuna through higher education. Let us support eaeh other's endeavors and work toward the goal. E holomua no ka pono o ka lahui holo'o'oko'a, 'a'ole no ke kanaka ho'okahi.
