ACADEMIC ADVISING

Aloha and welcome to Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies Academic Advising page. 

At Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, your journey as a student matters deeply to us.  Whether you're exploring your major, planning for the upcoming semester, or getting ready for graduation, our advising team is here to support your every step of the way - with aloha and purpose.

We are here to help you make sense of degree requirements, explore classes that inspire you, and connect you with resources that strengthen your path - both in and beyond the classroom.  We honor your unique goals and are here to assist you in deepening your engagement with our program, our lāhui, and yourself, as a steward of Hawaiʻi through the rich knowledge, language, and culture of our island home.

Our goal is simple: to help you succeed while staying rooted in your values, identity, and calling.

E kūlia i ka nuʻu - strive for the highest.  We look forward to working with you!
