{“Educating our children is the greatest investment we can make in our future.While we cannot know all of the challenges they will face, we can give themthe tools to be successful, and to grow a stronger, more sustainable Hawaii.”– Senator Daniel K. InouyeI am a proud graduate of the University of Hawai i, greatly benefiting from the GI Bill after returning home afterWorld War II. In the subsequent generations however, there was almost a sense of resignation that a son ordaughter “ended up” at the University. No more. We have worked hard to establish excellence in a variety ofdisciplines from oceanography, volcanology, astronomy, to Hawaiian studies and language. Our law school,medical, nursing and pharmacy schools and our business school attract top-notch faculty and students whichensure a trained cadre of Hawai i professionals to address the needs in our community. The University’s statewidecommunity colleges provide training to meet our diverse employment needs from construction, tourism, healthcareto computer sciences. I am pleased to support the University’s many good works which raise our collectiveeducational base. Whether 2-year or doctorate, we must prepare our students to achieve to their fullest and tobecome contributing members of the community. That is done with education, self-confidence and hope.In today’s competitive global economy, it is important for our institutions of higher learning facilitate and supporteducational and cultural exchanges. Hawai i has a history of bringing people together from around the world, andserves as a bridge to our neighbors in the Asia-Pacific region. Kapi olani CC's work to facilitate these interactionsbetween people from around the world enriches the education and experiences of its students and faculty.6

U.S.-C HAMPIONSPRESIDENTSOFCULTURALDIVERSIT Y-All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether wespend that time focused on what pushes us apart or whether we commit ourselves to aneffort, a sustained effort to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for ourchildren and to respect the dignity of all human beings. Barack Obama (2009).No one who has lived through the second half of the 20th century could possibly beblind to the enormous impact of exchange programs on the future of countries. Bill Clinton (1993).Only by knowing and understanding each other’s experiences can we find commonground on which we can examine and resolve our differences. As the world becomesmore and more interdependent, such mutual understanding becomes increasingly vital. Jimmy Carter (1977).10
