Embracing Pacific Island Heritage and Nurturing Future Leaders

Brigham Young University–Hawaii is known for its diversity of students, Christ-centered values and the “aloha spirit.” In this episode of the Church News podcast, the second of a two-part series, the Church News returns to the island of Oahu to talk to students and leaders of BYU–Hawaii and the neighboring Polynesian Cultural Center — where many BYU–Hawaii students work. Concluding this episode is a conversation with P. Alfred Grace, president and CEO of the Polynesian Cultural Center. He shares the history and values of the cultural center and answers the important question, “What do you know now?”
