Description
Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii highlights the upcoming Hawaii Career and College Fair at the Neal Blaisdell Center, featuring guests Christ Zivalich and Frank Conkey, longtime organizers of the event. They explain the fair’s mission to connect Hawaiʻi students, parents, career changers, and military personnel with over 90 mainland colleges and universities, including top institutions like MIT, Caltech, USC, Reed, and Brandeis. The episode emphasizes early college planning, financial‑aid seminars, and the unique value of accessing campus representatives without leaving the islands. Zivalich and Conley also discuss the fair’s robust career section, featuring organizations such as the National Weather Service, FBI, Keck Observatory, beauty and technical programs, and branches of the U.S. military. They describe the fair as a free, high‑impact resource that routinely draws thousands of attendees and offers unmatched access to admissions deans, alumni, and career professionals—all working together to help Hawaiʻi residents plan for academic and professional success.
