Higgins has taught Hawaiian history for nearly 20 years, served as department chair at Kapi‘olani Community College, and is a recipient of the Board of Regents’ Excellence in Teaching Award and Frances Davis Award for Excellence in undergraduate teaching.

About Ho‘opili

Ho‘opili (Staying Connected) was chartered in the fall of 2005 by a dozen or so retired faculty members. Soon after, membership was expanded to include not only faculty retirees but former (non-retired) faculty, former students, former staff and administration. Currently there are members in several states, Japan, Korea, Uruguay, and all over the Hawaiian Islands. The primary goal is to form a continuing link to the College for those interested in “Staying Connected.” Free membership includes complimentary admission to the public shows at the Imaginarium and updates on campus events which may be of interest.

For more information, contact Jacquie Maly.
