Aloha. I am pleased to congratulate the 2015 graduating class of Kapiolani Community College on this very special milestone in your lives. I join you, your family, parents, spouses, friends, and the faculty and staff of Kapiolani Community College in celebrating your accomplishment.

Your decision to seek a post secondary education was a wise one, as it will present more opportunities for you. The more education you obtain, the more doors you will open.

I congratulate all of you for making the right choice, and for having the perseverance and commitment to seeing it through.

Mahalo to the dedicated faculty of Kapiolani Community College, where Hawaii’s cultural diversityis celebrated, championed, and reflected in its curriculum, support services, activities, and administration.

Our community college system just commemorated its 50 anniversary, and through excellence in education,th

community leadership, and training, contributes to a diversifying state economy by preparing students to meet a critical and dynamic workforce.

As you turn the page to another chapter in your life, ready to transform your hard work and dreamsinto reality, may you remember the words of Eleanor Roosevelt: “The future belongs to those whobelieve in the beauty of their dreams.”

On behalf of the people of the City and County of Honolulu, I extend best wishes and amazingdreams to all of you.

Messages from the Vice Chancellors of Academic & Student Affairs Kapi‘olani of Community College

Dear graduates,

Congratulations on your accomplishments. You did it!

Today marks the completion of your degree or certificate at Kapi‘olani Community College, but it’s certainly not the end of your learning. After all, the ceremony is called “Commencement,” which means “beginning.” Today also marks the beginning of the next chapter of your life, where you will continue to learn and grow in your chosen profession and in your personal life.

It is customary to offer words of advice in commencement addresses. So here goes. We encourage you to find your passion, to find the work that energizes you. The majority of your waking hours for the next 30 years may be spent doing this work, so finding a fulfilling career is super important. Working hard is super important, too. In the words of one great entrepreneur, Vidal Sassoon: “The only place where suc-cess comes before work is in the dictionary.”

Enjoy this day with your family and friends. You’ve earned it! Remember that you will always be part of the Kapi‘olani Community College ‘ohana and that KCC will always be your home.

Me ke aloha pumehana,Charles S. SasakiDean – Arts & Sciences Academic Programs

Aloha Graduates,I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations to our 2015 Kapi’olani Community College graduates. I also want to acknowledge the family and friends of our graduates who have no doubt played a supportive role in the accomplishments of our graduates. My hope for you is that you continue to engage, learn, and achieve your dreams for the future… and always be true to yourself and your family! In the words of the great philosopher Dr. Seuss…"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

John L Richards, CEC, CCA, CWPC, MBACTE DeanCulinary, Hospitality, Business, Legal & Technology

Dear Health Sciences and Nursing Graduates,As you walk across the stage today and graduate as a healthcare professional, you become a member of the team of healthcare champions within your family and community.

As a healthcare champion you can improve the health of people living in Hawai‘i and beyond by becoming an advocate for change in the way you think about health. The criti-cal need is to change the way we think, live and practice our skills from the treatment of diseases to prevention of illness becoming a disease.

You can be that change as you join the healthcare workforce by helping to stop the development of some of the top preventable diseases – lung disease, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and morbid obesity.

Congratulations on successfully completing your healthcare program and for choosing to be of service to others. You now have the skills and knowledge to be the healthcare champions for a healthier world.

Aloha,Patricia O’HaganDean, Health Academic Programs
