CES’ Asia/Pacific capstone brings together countries and cultures; the campus community is "one in Christ," said BYU–Hawaii President John S.K. Kauwe III.
The song “Rich Girl” is a “shout out to all the people I love my friends and family who make my life rich,” said Kyla Greening, a singer from Hamilton, New Zealand, and former BYU–Hawaii student. She said the song is meant to remind people that what they’re looking for has been there for them all along.

While he appears to be an average, bow-tie-wearing professor, Dr. Neil J. Anderson is known as a “TESOL international rockstar,” a name dubbed by BYU–Hawaii Dean Mark Wolfersberger. Anderson, a professor in the Faculty of English & Social Work, shared experiences from his 41-year career as an internationally-acclaimed TESOL professor and researcher. He plans to retire from BYUH after the Spring 2021 Semester.
Dean of the Faculty of English & Social Work, Wolfersberger said Anderson’s connections raised the profile of BYUH in the TESOL field. “He has connected students to people in the TESOL world that there is no way they would be able to connect without his influence,” Wolfersberger explained.
