\"Olelo<\/p>\n

University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> News<\/a><\/em> is proud to partner with Hawaiian language departments and Hawaiian-focused offices across the 10-campus system to spotlight a Hawaiian word each week. Every campus will take turns showcasing a huaʻōlelo<\/span> (Hawaiian word) with the hope of educating and encouraging more people to learn and speak Hawaiian.<\/p>\n

ʻ\u014clelo of the week: Hoʻokō<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I\u2019m excited and grateful that staff and faculty from across the UH<\/abbr> system as well as the UH<\/abbr> Communications Office are willing to work together on this,” said Kaiwipunikauikaw\u0113kiu Lipe<\/strong>, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Native Hawaiian affairs program officer. “What a beautiful example of laulima! I invite everyone to integrate the word into their hana all week long and practice it with others. It\u2019ll be fun!”<\/p>\n

In 2015, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa launched its strategic plan, <\/a>M\u0101noa 2025: Our Kuleana to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and the World<\/a><\/em> (PDF<\/abbr><\/span>). The new plan, M\u0101noa 2025<\/a><\/em>, articulates how the university will strive to meet its mission statement—”E hoʻomālamalama<\/span> i k\u014d m\u0101lama: Cultivating the potential within each member of our community,” and vision statement—“He lamak\u016b o ke aloha ʻ\u0101ina: A leading light of aloha ʻ\u0101ina for Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and the world.”<\/p>\n

In honor of Mahina ʻ\u014clelo Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> (Hawaiian language month), celebrated every February, organizers decided to launch the new endeavor this month. Every Wednesday, a Hawaiian word will be featured in the UH<\/abbr> News email blast and on the front page of the UH<\/abbr> News<\/em> website.<\/p>\n
