Emily Harrison: A Heluhelu of Poetry
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.
Emily Harrison: Recovering From Senioritis
Are you struggling with senioritis? Does the thought of freedom, so close, discourage you from wanting to do any work? Are you an underclassman experiencing the symptoms of senioritis? Don’t worry loves I got you.
Emily Harrison: International English Honor Society
I do believe in the old saying, “actions speak louder than words.”
Of course they do. But what most fail to realize, is that words leave a bigger impact. Words, are a foundation of which a society is built. Words transform the world into something worthwhile.
Sigma Tau Delta has made it their mission to further interest and further education in both literature and the English language.

Emily Harrison: HPU Campus Tour Tag Along
Do you like being shown around so you can ask questions? Do you like informational guides as you explore new places?
Does your answer depend on the place at hand?
How about a campus tour? Would you ever go on one?
Or, more importantly for my fellow students, would you ever lead a campus tour?
Emily Harrison: HPU Libraries Host Escape Room Event
Escape rooms have been buzzing in the past decade. They have increased tremendously in popularity (especially with young adults) over the years.
And most people will want a review on the escape room HPU just held. And they’ll get one.
But first: upon hearing from the staff and participants, the library staff at Hawaii Pacific University needs to be thanked for all of the effort they put into the events for the students at HPU.
So, thank you to the Library Faculty members at HPU.
Emily Harrison: HPU Graduates Meet and Greet
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.
Emily Harrison: Valentine’s Day Report
Who doesn’t love a day about love sweets flowers and surprises. Me. that’s who.
I don’t know who decided Valentine’s day is the day we show we care about our partners and other loved ones, but they created a monster.
