While serving in the Hawaii Honolulu Mission, Seina Hamano said she fell in love with the kindness and spirituality of Laie and decided to attend BYU–Hawaii. Now, in her sophomore year, she said she learns from her friends and coworkers and tries to give back to the university by tutoring students in Japanese.
Destined to be in Laie
Hamano, a sophomore from Japan majoring in intercultural peacebuilding, said she was happy she was called to serve in the Hawaii Honolulu Mission as a full-time missionary. She explained her sister served in the same mission and was a student at BYUH. “Me and my sister share a deep connection with this university,” Hamano said.
