Core Year Excursion to Ka'ala Farms
The 2004-2005 Core Year visited Ka'ala Farms on the leeward side of Oahu on Saturday, December 4, 2004. The visit takes place as part of the Hawaiian Issues module and focuses on Native Hawaiian cultural practices. Butch DeTroye, below left, served as the site and cultural guide, impressing on participants the importance of wisely using wai (water) and of caring for the aina (land). Participants helped weed the loi (wet taro patch) and enjoyed fresh kalo (taro) as part of lunch.
National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA)
Program Director Dick Pratt recently attended the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration's annual conference, of which this Program is a member, in October 2004. It was held in Indianapolis, Indiana. The conference attendees are mainly the heads of schools of public administration and affairs, and it gives participants an opportunity to discuss common concerns and learn from one another. Dick also made a visit to the Harry Truman School of Public Affiars at the University of Missouri at Columbia, pictured below. The UH Program has had a relationship with the Truman School for a number of years through its Associate Dean, Guy Adams, also pictured below.
