Hogan Entrepreneurial Leadership Program

Hogan Students Liliyah-Joy Quel-Kaina and DJ Butler volunteered with one of our previous speakers, Christian Whitney, at her POP!HAWAII Woman’s Day Event for her business, Liliko’i Project! They helped with tasks such as setting up and were on standby throughout the event. 💛 🛍️

Happy Father's Day! 💙

Today, we celebrate the fathers and father figures who inspire us through their leadership, guidance, and unwavering support. Thank you for helping shape the leaders of tomorrow. 💪🌟

Today we honor Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States and celebrating freedom, resilience, and progress.

As we reflect on this important moment in history, let us continue to learn from the past and work toward a future rooted in opportunity, equity, and respect for all.

A few kind words can go a long way. Whether it's recognizing a teammate, thanking a mentor, or encouraging a friend, appreciation has the power to inspire, motivate, and strengthen relationships.

Who are you grateful for today? 💙

Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸 🌟

🎉 Entrepreneur in History Spotlight: William Rosenberg (1916–2002)

Today, we celebrate the birthday of William Rosenberg, the founder of Dunkin' Donuts in 1950! His impact extends far beyond coffee and donuts. As a pioneer of modern franchising, he helped create a business model that enabled thousands of entrepreneurs to own and operate their own businesses while benefiting from a trusted brand. ☕️🍩

True success comes from building a life that aligns with your passions, values, and goals. 💙

🌟 Student Community Service Highlight 🌟

Hogan student LaVelle White has been giving back to the community through volunteer service with Chaminade's Pono Popoki Project. 🐱💙

Led by Natural Sciences & Mathematics Dean Gail Grabowsky, this Trap, Neuter, and Release (TNR) program helps manage the campus feral cat colony while also protecting Hawaiʻi’s native bird population. Through the dedication of volunteers like LaVelle, the program has made a significant positive impact on both animal welfare and environmental conservation. 🌿🐦

Mahalo, LaVelle, for your commitment to serving the community and caring for our campus environment!
