Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this Focus Hawaii episode brings together Dr. Alton Wade, the then‑current president of BYU–Hawaii, and Dr. Owen Cook, a former president of the institution, for a reflective discussion on the university’s past, present, and future. The two leaders share personal histories that intersect through Church education in the Pacific, tracing the evolution of BYU–Hawaii from the early days of the Church College of Hawaii to its role as an internationally diverse liberal arts university. They discuss the development of Church‑supported schools throughout Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia, the transition from mainland to locally trained educators, and the challenges of serving a multicultural student body. The conversation also highlights campus growth, community relationships, academic and spiritual priorities, and the school’s “prophetic destiny” to educate students whose influence will be felt internationally through leadership, service, and moral preparation.
