Nine student clubs at BYU–Hawaii celebrated this year’s food fest virtually by sharing recipes and demonstrating how to prepare their countries’ foods through video. BYUH Student Leadership & Service and the Media Production Team filmed the videos, which were published on the BYU–Hawaii YouTube channel in the Fall 2020 Semester.
Terrell Wu, a sophomore from Malaysia majoring in communications, represented the Singapore and Malaysia Club. He shared, “I felt very lucky to be able to present as Uncle Terrell for our traditional and cultural food from Singapore and Malaysia.”

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.
