Hawaiian Language and History Overview

Presenters: Hōkūlani Holt and Lui Hokoana

9:30 – 10:15 AM | Location: Ballroom

Following last year’s wildfires, The Maui Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) – which is responsible for disaster awareness, preparedness, and response for Maui County – was widely criticized for mismanagement of the tragedy. The MEMA director resigned as did much of the staff. Amos Lonokailua-Hewett is the new director. He will give us an update on the ongoing recovery efforts. He will discuss what leadership looked like as he assumed responsibility for an agency that was reeling from bad publicity, the exodus of employees, and that, at the same time, was still responsible for maintaining emergency preparedness for Maui County.

Presenters: Amos Lonokailua-Hewett, MEMA Administrator

When leaders understand the science behind change, they can equip their teams to be more adaptive, resilient, and agile. In this workshop, we'll roll up our sleeves and practice easy skills that you can pass along to your professors, teams, and students. We’ll explore 'change curves', learn how to identify different response/coping styles (and how to respond to each), and try out easy techniques to reduce resistance and increase commitment and action in yourself and others. You’ll leave with a template your team can use for any change they would like to lead in the future,  making them even more effective and inspiring leaders for today's times.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. LeeAnn Renninger

in International Education

11:00 – 12:15 PM

Before COVID-19, international student college enrollment was at an all-time high. Since the pandemic, international student enrollment has been in serious decline. This panel will discuss the issues institutions of higher learning are facing today and the different strategies being used to address international enrollment declines.

Panelists: Stuart Cullum, Misaki Takabayashi, and Larry Rosia

12:00 – 1:30 PM | Location: Westin Maui Resort & Spa

Panel Discussion Legal Risk Management

1:45 – 3:00 PM

Not all college crises are created equal. The pandemic, Palestinian-Israeli conflict, alleged misconduct - each looks different and calls for different mitigations. This panel will look at a specific crisis and discuss how it was handled and resolved. We hope we never have to experience a crisis on our campus but if we do, how will we respond?

Panelists: Matt Gotschall, et al

Workshop

3:15 – 4:30 PM

Hoʻoponopono is a Native Hawaiian practice that heals relationships through ritual communication. This family process can be complex and challenging so principles of this practice are now being brought into public spaces for individual review and application. This talk will expose us to five fundamental ideas used in hoʻoponopono: mihi, hoʻopono, hihia, kūkulukumuhana, and ʻoia iʻo. Come and learn some aspects of Indigenous oracy you can recognize and sense in your own personal and professional life. Come and be exposed to Hawaiian aspects of how one maintains good relationships: forgiveness, goodness, self-entanglement, pooling of energy, and deep truth speaking. Be ready to share in dyads. Prepare yourself to experience the shift between shallow and honest truth and our own role in maintaining obstacles. Please, come to learn about the pooling of energy, and be open to feel the strength and beauty found in ritualizing gratitude through the articulation of insight.

Presenter: Dr. Manulani Aluli Meyer
