UH Hilo’s Wailau seeks storyteller applications for April event Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 932-7669 For Immediate Release The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo invites the public to be a part of Wailau, a storytelling event meant to build connections across the UH Hilo campus and with the wider community. The second episode of Wailau occurs in April 2021 with the theme, A Just World. Storyteller applications are being accepted through Friday, March 5 for the April event. Organizers for Wailau, which means “where water from diverse sources comes together to commingle and become a more powerful, unified whole,” aim to spotlight voices and stories that fit Wailau themes in interesting ways, showcasing five storytellers at each online event: a UH faculty member, UH staff member, UH student, UH alum and a community member. Submissions are also welcome from former faculty and staff and storytellers of all ages.
