“Being hauʻoli is very important to me as I am Hauʻoli, by every definition. It is important to me to hoʻohauʻoli (cause happiness) for others, be it peers, colleagues, or students; and, in doing so, I help contribute to a healthier work environment.”

Hauʻoli Viritua, Nauane Program Coordinator, I Ola Hāloa: Center for Hawaiʻi Life Styles, Hawaiʻi Community College
