After the stresses of the global pandemic, an opportunity was presented to share unique cultures with one another and to cheer on brothers and sisters of the BYU–Hawaii ohana from all over the world. The nine chapters that presented their dances at Culture Night 2021 were met with enthusiasm from cheers and smiles from the crowd. The gratitude from the students and faculty participating in the event was unmistakable.
Vice President of Student Life Jonathan Kalaonalani Kau said at the event that for President John S.K. Kauwe III, this was a momentous occasion because it was his first Culture Night. Additionally, Culture Night 2021 was the first large-scale event hosted by BYUH since the beginning of the pandemic.
