Mana'o from Marianists & Arts program participants

• "I believe that one valuable aspect I can pinpoint from this program is the fact that it's hands on, you will always feel included and it's never a dull moment."

• "The most valuable aspect of the Marianist and the Arts program for me was being able to communicate with my fellow nursing students and professors. I was very grateful to have the chance to reconnect with my love and passion for community service through the acts of service displayed by Father Mackey."

• "The most valuable aspect of the Marianists and the Arts program for me was being able to learn about the first Marianist brothers that came to Hawaii because I think it helps me feel, as a student, more connected to the history and roots of Chaminade University."

• "The most valuable aspect of the Marianists & the Arts program was learning more about the positive impact some of the missionaries have had here in Hawai’i. For the majority of my life, I was taught that missionaries were “bad” and did more harm than good. However, after learning about Brother Oliver Aiu’s life, it truly opened my perspective about the different ways Hawai’i has benefited from the many Marianist brothers and sisters."

• "The most valuable aspect was seeing many diverse students and faculty learning about the Native Hawaiian language and culture."

• "Bringing together the Chaminade ohana of today, yesteryear and tomorrow."

• "The hands on experience and being able to do a craft that I have always wanted to do. I would sign up for another woodworking session."

• "I appreciate that the legacy of those who have passed away is still being passed on and talked about and never forgotten."
