BYU-Hawaii's Joseph F. Smith Library donated about 80,000 government texts today—almost its entire collection—to the Hamilton Library of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
The transfer constitutes a five year off-site housing agreement, at the conclusion of which BYU-Hawaii will release the collection to UH permanently.
The donation comes as a boon to UH, who lost nearly all of its 2.8 million government documents housed at the Hamilton Library in a devastating flood that swept through Manoa valley last October.
"We are extremely grateful for BYU-Hawaii's generosity in providing this material to us," said Gwen Sinclair, head of the regional government documents depository with Hamilton Library. "BYU-Hawaii's gift will provide us with much-needed current government publications as well as historical material.

Cheryl LaMont, President and CEO of Dot C Software — a Kailua, Hawaii
business that does photorealistic 3D computer generated imagery (cgi) for
Hollywood and other major clients around the world — urged students
interested in computerized animation and other film effects in the March

"It's always a privilege to speak to students who are interested in film-quality software," said LaMont, who added her company has developed proprietary software that renders three-dimensional effects for well-known industry giants Dreamworks, Sony and others, and has done work on films such as The Matrix and Jurassic Park.

Susan Barton, professor of mathematics, shared a special message on the love of God and the atonement of Jesus Christ in last week's devotional prior to Easter Sunday.
Barton began by sharing the story of when she was faced with the opportunity to teach at BYU-Hawaii. After intensive study, prayer and meditation she made her decision; nonetheless, she sought a priesthood blessing. In addition to receiving a confirmation of her decision, "the blessing turned out to be an incredible testimony building experience."

BYU-Hawaii vocal students dominated the annual National Association of Teachers of Singing competition held this past Friday and Saturday at UH Manoa.
Nine out of 11 winners of the collegiate classes are BYU-Hawaii students. Of the 19 finalists, 15 are from BYU-Hawaii. In addition, Ben Tyrell won the 1st place award of $1,000 at the Morning Music Club competition held the same day.
Contestants were divided into four classes of competition, depending on their years of study and the music genre, explained Dr. James Smith, professor of music and voice instructor to several of BYUH's winning students. They were judged in a preliminary round, from which six finalists were selected to sing in a final public recital. For each class, judges then conferred first, second and third awards with cash prizes.

BYU-Hawaii honored 26 labor missionaries during its Koolauloa Community Service Awards Program on March 17. The twenty-six represented several hundred volunteer laborers and supervisors who built the university campus, additions to the Hawaii Temple and Visitors Center, housing, chapels, and the Polynesian Cultural Center in two phases from 1956-58 and 1960-63.
Some of the labor missionaries came from various South Pacific islands and Hawaii, while others came from the U.S. mainland. Some had previously served labor missions in their home islands and were already skilled. At least one was still in high school and served during summer breaks. Most supervisors were professional construction specialists who brought their families, freely served and taught the young missionaries their respective trades.
As part of the university's 50th anniversary Golden Jubilee celebration, BYU-HawaiiPresident Eric B. Shumway unveiled the new Genuine Gold Display in the AlohaCenter on March 17, calling it a "signature art piece" on campus similar to the mosaic and murals gracing the David O. McKay Building and the Cannon-Napela statue by the Cannon Activities Center.
Elder W. Rolfe Kerr, recently appointed Commissioner of the Church Education System, encourage faculty, staff and student alike to "be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only" in order to accomplish the purposes of BYU-Hawaii and the Kingdom.

A pair of Utah-based Internet entrepreneurs told BYU-Hawaii students in the School of Business lecture series on March 15 that to be successful, they need to be passionate about their ideas; then when they're successful, they need to be passionate about giving to the less fortunate.
Tim Stay, who lived in Laie as a child, was a civil engineer with an MBA and a master's in international economic development focusing on third world countries when he realized that "entrepreneurship is an effective tool to drive that development."
After working in Guam for a few years he decided, "I needed to get into business." So he moved back to Utah and started a call center, one of his MBA research projects for which he got a 'C', "but the business turned out better than my paper."

Hawaii Religion and history professor Dr. Kerry Muhlestein recently returned from a three-week tour with the prestigious American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) that enhances his ability to teach Old Testament, the Pearl of Great Price, world civilization and ancient Egyptian history.
Muhlestein, who earned his Ph.D. in Egyptology from UCLA and has been teaching at BYU-Hawaii since Fall 2003, explained he had previously been to Egypt, but had never gone south of Cairo to the historically significant sites of Karnak and Luxor.

BYU-Hawaii's "Shaka Steel" drum ensemble returned Sunday, March 6, from an energetic and successful four-day, six-concert tour to Kauai.
"The audience response at all six performances was amazing," said Darren Duerden, director of the ensemble. "Audiences were literally moved to get up and dance to the Calypso and Samba music."
Of the six performances, three were for public schools: Waimea High School, Waimea Canyon Intermediate School Kapaa High School.
"The school performances were some of the best and most fulfilling parts of the tour," said Leilani Miller, a member of the band. "I loved entertaining the students, getting them excited about music and hearing about their progress and interest in music. They were so excited to have us come and hear us play!"

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.
