Aloha Thompson School ‘Ohana,
We are proud to celebrate all that our school has accomplished this year, including our amazing graduates! You will truly make a difference in your communities.
Mahalo for all your hard work, dedication, and commitment! Please see links below to our Connections Newsletters over the fall semester. And a big mahalo to Robin Arndt and Amanda Lindsey for their help with these!
We have loved celebrating our student essay contest winners over this semester. Our final one is Jordan Marshall from the MPH program.
The Thompson School is proud to be hosting our essay contest again in 2023 to celebrate all the amazing work and synergies across our fields. The vision of our School is achieving social justice and health equity for the people of Hawaiʻi and citizens in a changing world. This year's essay contest theme will be Stepping up to Service. We again invite Social Work and Public Health students to enter, particularly to share how they have stepped up to help their communities to meet needs in physical, mental, and social health, and how this knowledge can contribute to wellbeing in our academic fields and our communities in the future. One student will be chosen to receive a $1000 prize. Four students will be chosen to each receive an award of $500. Graduate and undergraduate entries welcome. More details can be found here.
We celebrated many wonderful events in the last month,
including the Chin Sik & Hyun Sook Chung endowment and plaque, and the OPHS Undergraduate Summit. I was also fortunate to spend time with the Department of Social Work in celebrating the end of the fall semester. I am grateful for all of these opportunities to spend time with one another and connect.
May your holidays be filled with joy, laughter, relaxation, friends, family, and time for reflection.
With much aloha,
Tetine

Thompson School Essay Contest:
Jordan Marshall
"I believe that even if we do not agree with one another, we should still listen to each other because we all have very different and unique experiences from living different lives. These different experiences have all shaped us into who we are today, but the bottom line is that we all share way more commonalities than differences."
