Grace Tin Yan Lee, an English major, completed her undergraduate studies here in three years. Lee, who also has a minor in International Cultural Studies-Humanities, explained it was "challenging" for her to attend BYU-Hawaii because at first her father, Cecil Wing Chuen Lee, "didn't want me to come, mostly because he thought I could do as well in Hong Kong and he didn't want me to leave the family; but I wanted to study creative writing, and my mother, Liana Lee, supported my decision."
