He received a master’s degree in communications from UH Mānoa and bachelor’s degree in political science from UH Hilo. Dr. Hokoana was appointed University of Hawaiʻi Maui College’s chancellor in 2014. He has served his community through covid and the devastating fires in many ways and has secured more than $20 million in county, state, federal and private funds to support various UH systemwide initiatives that have contributed to unprecedented enrollment growth, financial aid access, service to underrepresented groups and overall student success. This Pan pork laulau dish was created by his mom when they would have church functions with a lot of people and you dont have enough room or space to make 100 laulau, so you make it in an oven.
