ENR3176 - Queen Kapi'olani`s Life and Legacy

Kapiolani Community College - CECS

Course Description

It is said that names have spiritual power and when pronounced correctly, power can be drawn from the name. Kapi'olani Community College is blessed, empowered, and guided in countless ways by Queen Julia Kapi'olani through dedicated faculty, staff, administrators, programs, practices, and ?olelo.

In this webinar, learn about Queen Kapi'olani's life, legacy, travels, and more. It is befitting that we conclude our 75th Anniversary year and Kaiaulu Webinar Series by honoring Queen Kapi'olani`s life, humanitarian gifts, life, and birthday anniversary, which was on December 31, 1834.

Speaker Bio:

Colette Higgins holds an MA in history (Pacific Islands) and a BA in history and anthropology from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. She also earned an AA in liberal arts from Kapi‘olani Community College. Her 2015–2016 sabbatical leave from Kapi‘olani CC was primarily to trace and record the travel of Queen Kapi?olani to London, England.

Throughout 2017 and 2018, Higgins gave a series of special presentations sharing her research on Queen Kapi‘olani. In part one of the presentation, Higgins focused on the queen’s life and legacy including her visit to Kalaupapa, her journey to London, and what may have inspired her to open a hospital. In part two, Higgins shared her sabbatical experience tracing the footsteps of Queen Kapi‘olani when she traveled to England as a guest at Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887.
