\"Hilo<\/p>\n

This fall, the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo is welcoming the public to its 2024 Kuleana and Community Talk Story series, a weekly event designed to foster meaningful connections between students, faculty, staff and the broader community. The series takes place every Friday and features guest speakers from various fields who will share their insights on topics relevant to the community.<\/p>\n

“This series is about more than just conversation—it\u2019s about building relationships and expanding our understanding of the world,” said Carolina Lam from the UH<\/abbr> Hilo Center for Global Education and Exchange<\/a>. “Through these talks, we hope to create a community that learns from one another and encourages curiosity about life beyond our island\u2019s boundaries.”<\/p>\n

The Kuleana and Community Talk Story series which started on August 30 is held at the Kilohana Academic Success Center on the first floor of Mookini Library and emphasizes the Hawaiian value of kuleana, or responsibility, by inviting the UH<\/abbr> Hilo ʻohana<\/span> and community members to engage in discussions that inspire collaboration and shared learning. It offers a platform for students to network, explore internship opportunities, and connect with local mentors who can guide their academic and professional journeys.<\/p>\n
