As usual, the conference aimed at motivating, inspiring and informing high school students of Pacific Island ethnicities about career opportunities, college readiness, and community readiness. Weʻll see you next year. In the meantime enjoy the video highlights produced by Bill Yang from the Pacific Students Media team.
