This week, Litta is stopping by the spot you might still call the bookstore… but plot twist: it’s becoming the Campus Store because there’s a whole lot more than books inside. Snacks, supplies, UHWO gear and more!

What’s your Campus Store must-have? Drop it below! 👇

What started as an idea from Buddah Mochi and our ACM alumna Mandy of Mandini Made grew into something much bigger…a celebration of creativity, kindness, and community.

The Lei of Kindness brought together keiki, local makers, small businesses, families, and our UH West Oʻahu community around one simple idea: creativity can give back.

For ACM, the day was especially meaningful. Our staff helped capture the stories behind the event from Buddah Mochi and Mandy to the young artists, community partners, and Interim Chancellor Peñaloza.

And a special mahalo to MINI of Hawaiʻi, for supporting Mandy and helping provide the space and support to bring the Lei of Kindness to life.

Seeing one of our alumni help create something that uplifts young creatives and gives back to the next generation made the day feel especially full circle.

Mahalo to everyone who helped turn kindness into something we could all be part of. And we can’t thank Mandy and Keala enough for the vision!!! 💛

A lot of you recently found our page through Ashley’s lei-making videos. 👋 Welcome to ACM at UH West Oʻahu. Last week, many of the students behind the projects, stories, designs, films, and yes…even the lei, graduated.

In Hawaiʻi, lei is more than decoration. It’s celebration, care, community, and connection. And in many ways, that spirit reflects what creative media is all about too. We create things that bring people together.

As we head into summer, we’re excited to keep sharing the work of our students and alumni. And of course! MORE TUTORIALS!!! 🤔 let’s us know in the comments below what you’re interested in seeing.

Some stories look simple on screen until you see what it takes to make them. Senior capstone student, Macien, is producing a series on the uniqueness of Kauluhauweo, a UH West Oʻahu’s peer mentorship program by capturing the relationships, the in-between moments, and the impact that doesn’t always get documented.

His Day in the Life shows the other side of that work. The planning. The setup. The shooting. The editing. Doing it solo. All the DETAILS!

Because storytelling like this isn’t just about pressing record. It’s about intention, care, and the time it takes to do it right.
