President Shumway delivers Mid-Year 'State of Campus' Address
Mike Foley | University Advancement | 3 March 2005
In his traditional, annual mid-year "state of the campus" address, BYU-Hawaii President Eric B. Shumway told the combined faculty and staff the answers to two questions he's frequently asked, reviewed the university's top priorities and initiatives, and summarized the success to date of the Voyage of Faith fundraising campaign.
"I start work early and I go home late," is how President Shumway handles his Area Authority Seventy, university administration, Jubilee, fundraising, board meetings, travel and other responsibilities. He also cited the Tongan word, ngatü -- meaning the "condition of intense excitement and movement" -- as an appropriate description of all he does.

Mike Foley | University Advancement | 26 January 2005
David M. Stipanuk, a hospitality facilities and operations professor in Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, helped BYU-Hawaii School of Business students in the January 25 entrepreneurship lecture see ties between environmental concerns and possible business careers.
Stipanuk, an engineer and textbook author who works closely with several hospitality industry environmental groups, explained that the movement, which can broadly be labeled sustainability, started with ecological concerns in the 1960s and 70s and has since expanded into concern for human interaction with the environment, social issues and economic implications.

HVCB President: 'Develop Your Entrepreneurial Spirit'
Mike Foley | University Advancement | 7 February 2005
Speaking before a banquet for business people and students attending the BYU-Hawaii School of Business' annual entrepreneurship conference on February 2-3, the president of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau urged even those in conventional environments and jobs to be entrepreneurial.
"I've never been an entrepreneur in the purest sense of the word. In fact, I feel a little out of place, due to my conventional background. But I've always thought of myself as an entrepreneur. It's been a theme in my career," said John Monahan, who is also a member of the Polynesian Cultural Center board of directors. "To be ultimately successful, you must develop your entrepreneurial spirit. Each of us must develop that spirit from within, in whatever environment we begin from."

"Hard work is the key to finding a good job."
Speaking in the McKay Auditorium on January 18, Stocks said, "Each one of you can get a job that will be very, very important for your future, that will provide for your family, but it's going to take effort." Or paraphrasing Thomas Edison, "Opportunity comes dressed in overalls and looks like work."
