The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Mid-Year Commencement Ceremony—held December 17, at the Stan Sheriff Center—featured student speaker Dannielle A. Farrall. An estimated 860 students participated in the commencement ceremony.
Farrall, also known as Dannie Farrall, received her Master’s Degree of Linguistics, in the Language Documentation and Conservation stream. She has taken part in many different corners of UH Mānoa—from making smoothies at Paradise Palms, to working as a graduate assistant in the Academy of Creative Media’s Media Center; helping with Linguistic Department events and volunteering with the UH’s esports community.
With many possibilities at her feet, and interests in her hands, Farrall is curious to see what her next adventure will be after graduation. She encouraged her fellow graduates to look back proudly at the challenges they have overcome to get to this moment in their lives and embrace any twists and turns they may face in their future.
