Raising awareness of sexual assault at the University of Hawaii
Two state legislature bills that would have required the University of Hawaii to expand training for employees in the Title IX office, and expand access to confidential services for students failed to be passed. Anna Chua, a UH student organizer, and Nora Gallo, co-executive director of the Every Voice Coalition, joined us to discuss the fight to end sexual violence on college campuses.

Now, the Hawai i Arts Alliance is honoring a UH professor who touched a lot of lives in that auditorium.
With his slight build and sandy hair, artist Duane Preble is a soft-spoken educator. But in his classes, Preble would get excited about ideas like reverence, honesty and truth discovered through working with materials like paint and clay.
We had a chance to talk in 2015 at his thoughtfully designed home/studio in Manoa solar-powered, sustainable materials, open to nature. For Preble, there are no walls between art and life. Esthetic engagement is working with the things of life in a way that is beneficial and constructive to yourself and everybody around you, he said.
