Feeling the Love

When BYU-Hawaii tennis player Shenley Searing steps on to the tennis court, she wants her opponent to feel the love—reflected in the match's final score.
"I love the competition and it gives me satisfaction. I just have a drive and I feel at home on the tennis court," she said.
But a different kind of love motivated her to trade in her racket for gardening tools over the summer. Searing's solid serves down the line were put on hold in order to serve in a different way.

BYU-Hawaii Vice President Connects Charity with Peacemaking

Stace Hall | University Advancement | 13 September 2007
During the second devotional of the 2007-2008 school year, Isileli T. Kongaika told audience members as they develop characteristics of charity they will be a force to spread peace internationally, as President David O. McKay prophesied over 50 years ago.
'Without doubt, my brothers and sisters, our purpose here at this university is to fulfill this prophetic vision to become international peacemakers. To you…I extend this invitation," the vice president of student life said.
The biggest challenge facing this goal is not accepting racial and cultural differences, Kongaika said. "How about asking yourself this question: Do you, as an international peacemaker, still have an issue with this, because somebody is different?"

The Only Way to Fly

Stace Hall | University Advancement | 10 September 2007
For some members of the BYU-Hawaii community, registering travel arrangements through the now decade-old campus travel office is, well, the only way to fly.
"I've been here for eight years. I travel about five or six times each year, mostly international, and I travel exclusively through the travel office. [The staff] will make any reservation for you, they'll try to get the best price for you. It's a great service," said Michael Sudlow, assistant dean for international admissions.
The travel office handles corporate and personal travel needs for the university. This includes arrangements for students, staff, alumni, and visitors. The office also grants requests for entities with ties to BYU-Hawaii, including the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Laie Hawaii Temple, Hawaii Reserves Incorporated, and the LDS Church office in Honolulu.

Thanks to an improvised semester project, four BYU-Hawaii business students found out what's in a name…even though, at first, they didn't have one. The students created—at the last minute—the "No Name Shrimp Truck."

Wheelwright Urges Adherence to Details of Honor Code

Stace Hall | University Advancement | 30 August 2007
In the first devotional of the 2007-2008 school year, BYU-Hawaii President Steven C. Wheelwright told students, faculty, and staff that their attitudes toward the Honor Code likely fit into one of four categories— rebellion, ignorance, hypocrisy, or discipleship. He then called for increased obedience to the Honor Code, saying that greater blessings would come to the campus community.
Wheelwright encouraged all to take an inventory, or self-assessment, with regards to the Honor Code. He said this self-assessment should happen in terms of understanding, adhering to, and embracing the code, both in spirit and letter.
