Faith-Driven Progress: A Recap of BYU–Hawaii's 2025 Highlights
In 2025, Brigham Young University–Hawaii entered its 70th anniversary year with renewed purpose—reaffirming its identity as a Christ-centered institution and strengthening its mission to prepare disciples, leaders, and peacemakers for communities across the Pacific and Asia. Under President John S.K. Kauwe III’s inspired leadership, the university advanced spiritually, academically, and culturally while navigating one of the most transformative periods in campus history. From historic devotionals and global achievements to construction milestones and cultural celebrations, 2025 was a year defined by faith-driven progress and a deepened sense of belonging.
