Some friends of mine were among the recipients of the Latin Business Hawaii Scholarship this weekend.   The scholarship was awarded to those who excelled in academics and showed great pride in the Hispanic cultures.

My friends Olu Bicoy, Rubén Cruz and Jessica de la Paz, are all graduate students and instructors at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. They were ecstatic to receive their well-deserved scholarships this Saturday. We're proud of you all! 

Transitando Mundos

 

Transitando Mundos was a performance by SPAN 480 students at the University of Hawai'i and Manoa. Professor Aranzazu "Arantxa" Ascunce, director Frances Mammana and assistant director Ivonne Chambi guided the performers in giving the UH community a glimpse into Spanish literature and history.

 

The artistic performance featured Spanish students from México, Puerto Rico, Peru and Hawaii. The diversity added a strong and meaningful element to the audience, bringing the essence of Spain to Hawaii.

 

This was truly an amazing performance, it brought out and highlighted the creative side of some of my colleagues and friends Tyson Umberger, Rubén Cruz, Olivia Sanchez and Miguel Vieira. Bravo!
