Mid-Pacific Students Engage in Leadership & Community Impact

Mid-Pacific students are making a difference through hands-on learning and advocacy! Gigi K. ’25 and Leilani M.H. ’26 are interning with the Hawai‘i Public Health Institute, where they recently traveled to Maui to learn about Lahaina, serve the local community, explore food systems, and meet with policymakers. Their training prepares them to work with the state legislature on sustainability initiatives.

Meanwhile, nine students and three faculty members attended the Shanti Alliance DEI Conference in February. Our DEI Club leaders served as student facilitators and presenters, gaining valuable advocacy skills while working at Kawainui Marsh, and learning about peace-making, civic action, and giving back to the community.

These experiences empower our students to lead with purpose and make a lasting impact!
