Mahalo nui to @ManoaChocolate for teaching us today about making chocolate, growing cacao, & the importance of sustainable & ethical sourcing of ingredients. Hands down the tastiest lesson on the island! 🍫😋 #AlohaMayTerm @HopeCollege @Hopeoffcampus

#AlohaMayTerm crew spent the morning clearing invasive guinea grass w/ @dlnr & were rewarded with a gorgeous hike out to Ka’ena Point where we saw nesting albatross & three (!) critically endangered Hawaiian monk seals. Mahalo to Kekai Mar! 🧡🤙🏽💙 @Hopeoffcampus @HopeCollege

Rain & bad trail conditions canceled the hike but didn’t dampen spirits or learning as #AlohaMayTerm2024 volunteered to pot seedling native plants at @WaimeaValley before a deluxe shuttle tour of the gorgeous gardens & Waimea Falls! 🧡🤙🏽💙 @HopeCollege @Hopeoffcampus

The ancients wove ti leaves just like these into ropes thick & strong enough to haul huge ocean voyaging canoes! Thanks to Hawaiian Music Preservation Society for showing us how to make ti leaves into lei! 🧡🤙🏽💙 @Hopeoffcampus @HopeCollege #HopeCollege #AlohaMayTerm

"Not only did I learn more about environmental justice and the world than I ever expected, but living abroad introduced me to incredible new people, beautiful new views, and a whole new understanding of myself..."

We know off-campus study has a transformative impact on students like Molly, who studied abroad last semester. “Studying abroad in Morocco, Nepal, and Ecuador has hands-down been the most transformative experience of my life..."
