University of 91桃色appʻi Maui College students have released an album of original music about Lahaina, its rich history and their hopes for its future.

Haʻina Ko Wehi: Celebrating West Maui in Mele, the college鈥檚 (IHM) project, was originally intended to create new music for West Maui. However, on August 8—two weeks before the group was scheduled to begin work—wildfires burned on Maui, and the project鈥檚 focus shifted.

Students Bobbi Bridges, Herb Folsom, Grace Gomes, Aaron Grzanich, M膩kena Laurion, Hualani Moore, Iraj Namiranian, Al Nip and Mehra Park, led by IHM faculty coordinator and six-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award winner Keola Donaghy, gathered nearly every Saturday throughout the fall of 2023 to work. All songs were composed by December; recording and mixing were completed in April 2024. The album was produced by Donaghy, 91桃色app Maui College lecturers Joel Katz and Stephen Fox, and Lance D. Collins.

“Words cannot fully express the pride I feel for what these students experienced as individuals and as a group over the course of our time together,” Donaghy said. “They dug deep into their hearts, souls and experiences to produce incredible expressions of art and aloha. I am sure that anyone who listens to this recording will feel the same sense of pride and gratitude for their efforts to help our community heal in this time when healing is so badly needed.”

Haʻina Ko Wehi: Celebrating West Maui In Song is available on all major music download and streaming services, such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube. Physical CDs will be available this summer.

For more information, contact Donaghy at (808) 984-3570 or email donaghy@hawaii.edu.

The 2024 hurricane season begins on June 1, and forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration鈥檚 (NOAA) Central Pacific Hurricane Center said the 贬补飞补颈鈥嬧赌�ʻ颈 region could see fewer than normal tropical cyclones. The , released on May 21, predicted one to four tropical cyclones compared to four to five in a normal season.

It is important to note that the forecast is for the number of storms in the region but not specifically for landfall to the state. The 2020 hurricane season was considered below average, yet Hurricane Douglas became the closest on record to pass by the island of Oʻahu.

“As we look towards our coming hurricane season, we must prepare with the real possibility in mind that a hurricane could impact our community,” said Chris Brenchley, director of NOAA鈥檚 Central Pacific Hurricane Center. “Any actions we take now, however small, can make a difference in how resilient our households and communities will be in the event of the storm.”

Hurricane season in 贬补飞补颈鈥嬧赌�ʻ颈 occurs roughly between June 1 and November 30. The 贬补飞补颈鈥嬧赌�ʻ颈 Emergency Management Agency has a page with .

91桃色app resources:

91桃色app encourages all students and employees to prepare for the season before storms approach, when the lines at stores can be overwhelming. 91桃色app community members are invited to participate in the 91桃色app that are held over the summer.

All members of the 91桃色app community are urged to sign up for 91桃色app Alert to receive emergency text alerts. If you have already signed up, log in to ensure that contact information is up-to-date.

There is also the Disaster Alert desktop version and app ( | ) with updated information.

Notifications affecting 91桃色app campuses will be posted on the emergency information webpage, as well as on social media:

A $2 million gift from the Gilbert and Aileen Chuck Foundation aims to alleviate the state鈥檚 critical nursing shortage by providing full scholarships for top nursing students at the for the next 10 years starting this fall.

The gift creates the Kam Scholars Program. The merit-based scholarship program will provide about half of the first- and second-year associate of science in nursing (ASN) students with enough funds to cover the costs of tuition and books, fees and other costs associated with attendance.

“Our current ASN students are experiencing multiple financial stressors, which create barriers to their learning,” said Mary Farmer, Allied Health Department chair.

“The Kam Scholars Program will make a tremendous impact on helping our students thrive in nursing school and beyond.”

Filling critical needs on Maui

91桃色appʻi has only 70% of the registered nurses (RNs) it needs this year, according to the most recent from the Healthcare Association of 91桃色appʻi. There were nearly 150 open positions for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and RNs on Maui in 2022. The report noted that 39% of all LPN positions were vacant that year, up from 20% in 2019, while a quarter of all positions for medical-surgical RNs were vacant, and some specialties had a vacancy rate of up to 42%.

Gilbert and Aileen Chuck Foundation Trustee Ron Purdy said an investment in a nurse is an investment in an individual, their family and the Maui community for many years to come.

“We hope that the scholarships make the students鈥� enrollment a little easier and provide a feeling of accomplishment for their hard work in pursuing their careers,” Purdy said. “We are pleased to make a difference in the future for these aspiring students and that Maui鈥檚 health will be better for their hard work at the college pursuing their career.”

The Kam Scholars Program is named for Aileen Chuck鈥檚 father, Edwin T. Kam (1904–93), who was born on Kauaʻi, trained as a physician in China and at the University of Pennsylvania and had a longtime medical practice in Windward Oʻahu. Aileen Chuck died in June 2023, seven years after the death of her husband.

The national recruitment for the next president of the University of 91桃色appʻi 10-campus system will officially begin in late May 2024 after the 91桃色app Board of Regents (BOR) approved the position description and leadership profile at the May 16 BOR monthly meeting at 91桃色app 惭腻苍辞补. The position description and leadership profile were based on feedback provided through six public forums that were held on four islands, and a public survey along with input from the regents and the Presidential Search Advisory Group (PSAG), who edited and finalized the profile before it was brought to the board.

• 91桃色app President Search Website

“We are very pleased that the next phase of the search can officially begin, and the regents thank the PSAG for their important work on the leadership profile,” said BOR Interim Chair Gabriel Lee. “We are hoping there is a lot of local and national interest in the position and that we are able to attract the best candidates possible to lead the state鈥檚 sole provider of higher education.”

, the search firm hired by the BOR, will officially launch the recruitment in late May with outreach and national advertisements. The search is following the timeline approved by the regents on March 21.

• May to August—Candidate recruitment period
• August—Review of candidate materials, first round of candidate interviews
• September—Three to four finalists are named
• October—Final selection and negotiation, new president is announced
• Early 2025—New president begins

The PSAG is made up of stakeholders from across the 91桃色app system and local community. The group assisted with county forums along with the development of the leadership profile and position description. The PSAG will review candidate applications, identify and recommend candidates for interviews, interview the first round of eight to 12 candidates and recommend semifinalists to the selection committee, which consists of all 11 regents.

As part of the listening phase of the search promised by the regents, approximately 565 people attended the six public forums held across the state in person or via Zoom. The public survey completed in February received 2,093 responses.

The new president will succeed President David Lassner, who announced in September that he will retire at the end of 2024.

President David Lassner provided updates on 91桃色app support for Lahainaluna High School students, 2024 fall enrollment and philanthropic fundraising—noting that the 91桃色app Foundation surpassed $100 million in fundraising—in his monthly report to the Board of Regents (BOR) at their May 16 meeting at 91桃色app 惭腻苍辞补.

Lassner also highlighted the successful commencement activities of the 10 campuses, including the graduation ceremony held every four years on Molokaʻi and informed the regents about how recently passed federal appropriations require in-state tuition for the citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau.

• Successful spring 2024 graduation season ()
• Molokaʻi graduation ()
• Federal tuition requirement for Compact of Free Association nations ()
