“In Hawaiian songs, ua can sometimes symbolize profound emotions—such as the depths of love, sorrow and even fresh beginnings. As 2024 unfolds, let’s embrace this opportunity to turn a new leaf, allowing the nourishing rain to shower us with a revitalizing start to the year ahead.”
—Alisha Churma, 2023 graduate, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
