President Boyd K. Packer, acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and Elder David A. Bednar, newest member of the same, visited BYU-Hawaii for a special devotional on their way home from touring Guam and Indonesia on church assignment.
Elder Bednar spoke first to the full house of faculty, staff and students. He began with a reference to the invocation, which included the petition for a greater "desire for obedience." He then gave an account of a private conversation he had with the late Elder Neal A. Maxwell, who said that what distinguishes this generation today is a greater capacity for obedience.
"And unto him to whom much is given much is required; not expected but required," Elder Bednar added, quoting passages of scripture. "That greater capacity for obedience is a necessary prerequisite for the work that we are to do in this latter day.

BYU-Hawaii hosted over 200 teachers and students from Hawaii's public and private schools in a conference for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
The conference consisted of seminars and workshops on new methods for improving English instruction. It also featured guest lecturer Paul Nation, professor of linguistics and applied language studies at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand.
Dr. Nation's research shows that non-native speakers are not learning enough conversational or reading vocabulary. They should be learning high frequency vocabulary. Students in higher level education should also focus on academic vocabulary.

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.

Beth Haynes, professor of economics and chair of the International Business Department, spoke on the challenge of poverty and explored three methods of alleviation in the 2005 David O. McKay Lecture.
First, Haynes established the problem of poverty with a series of data documenting the endemic human suffering of the poor. She also illustrated the problem with pictures she had taken while conducting research in poverty-stricken countries around the world.
Not dwelling too long on the problem, Haynes proceeded by exploring three solutions to bring people out of poverty and eventually into prosperity: increasing output, redistributing goods and self-reliance.

To our dear friends of BYU-Hawaii and of this unique and wonderful community, Aloha!
Diane and I are excited to be home! It has been a year and a half since our last opportunity to visit Oahu and nearing five years since our call required us to leave our home here. Not simply due to the natural beauty, but more especially because of family and friends and the experiences of many decades, nowhere can replace these islands in our hearts.

Universities in Hawaii are exploring several new alternatives for their NCAA Division II Pacific West Conference after announcing that two teams from the United States mainland are leaving for another conference.
Montana State-Billings and Western New Mexico will join four universities from Texas in the Heartland Conference effective July 1, 2005. After the change, the Pacific West Conference will consist of the four universities in the islands - Hawaii-Pacific University, Chaminade, Brigham Young University Hawaii and Hawaii-Hilo.
"We look forward to this change," said BYU-Hawaii president Eric B. Shumway, who will serve as chief officer of the realigned PacWest Conference. "We want to keep the PacWest conference together because of the traditional relationships and friendly rivalries that have developed among the four Hawaiian universities over the years."
