Every December 19, our campuses, communities and ʻohana gather to honor Ke Aliʻi Bernice Pauahi Pākī Bishop, whose vision continues to guide and protect opportunities for Native Hawaiian learners. Since 1888, this tradition has bound generations in gratitude, but this year it carries added meaning as we lift our voices to reaffirm the kuleana she entrusted to us.
Join us in celebrating her legacy and standing together at these Founder’s Day ceremonies.
