Brigham Young University Hawaii is pleased to announce Tin Yan Lee, of Hong Kong, and David Rainey, of Boise, Idaho, as co-valedictorians for the graduating class of June 2007. In the history of Brigham Young University-Hawaii, co-valedictorians have been awarded four times - 1979, 1980, 1982 and 1992.
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."

Yifen Beus, professor of International Cultural Studies at Brigham Young University Hawaii, spoke at the weekly devotional, Thursday, 14 June. Sister Beus was introduced by colleague, Cynthia Compton, as someone who loves languages and international cooking.

A week-long Especially For Youth (EFY) program will be held at BYU-Hawaii June 25-29. EFY is a unique opportunity for youth ages 14-18 to grow spiritually, develop lasting friendships, and gain a better understanding of their individual worth in a caring, trusting, and accepting environment. BYU-Hawaii has hosted the Best of EFY, a one-day program in February, for many years. However, there is a need for the full week-long program to be held in Hawaii.
Sherrie Bangerter, Hawaii EFY administrator explains, “Three years ago, Pres. Shumway contacted BYU-Hawaii’s Center for Instructional Technology and Outreach (CITO) after receiving a letter from a mother expressing her heartfelt plea for BYU-Hawaii to offer a youth program similar to those offered at BYU Provo and Idaho, such as EFY. Her request was not the first.
