she also needs to study here some day.

BYU-Hawaii commenced its first Intercultural Leadership conference, Aug. 8-9,
in an effort to give students an opportunity to develop and instill valuable
leadership principles within diverse environments.

"Possibilities include gearing a conference more towards a certain type of student on campus like more of the new students not yet involved in leadership, having another conference for students who are in leadership positions and definitely one geared towards students who are graduating and ready to leave."
