Emily Harrison3 months ago019 mins

Aloha everyone. I’m unsure if anyone from the school, other than the honors students and faculty, knows who Brandy McDougall is, but she is a Hawaii State Poet Laureate.

She’s published two poetry books: “Finding Meaning”, and “Birth Land.” At these conferences, she discussed and read from “Birthland” which was honestly quite moving, quite passionate. She brought tears to herself and to her audience.

Especially for a school-based poetry reading conference, I thought it was quite endearing.

Do you like being shown around so you can ask questions? Do you like informational guides as you explore new places?

Or, more importantly for my fellow students, would you ever lead a campus tour?

No one should be afraid of their next chapter in life, no matter what has lead up to it, remember that it is indeed the next chapter. Not the end of the story.

HPU had their very first meet and greet, Friday, February 23rd, 2024. The conference consisted of some alumni and some local networks.

Although this conference was for graduates, it’s just as important for undergraduates to hear the messages that were given.
