On Oʻahu, the morning commencement speaker for the UH Mānoa ceremony was a former student at UHMC.

Kailani Jackson, 65, is a Los Angeles, California native who moved to Maui in 2019, and enrolled in UH Maui College, graduating with an AA in liberal arts. She then transferred to UH Mānoa, where she graduated with two bachelor of arts degrees—one in ethnic studies and the other in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in peace and conflict resolution, according to UH.

Jackson plans to continue her academic journey by pursuing master’s and doctorate degrees after graduation. She has consistently excelled academically, earning summa cum laude honors and a place on the Dean’s Honors List every semester, according to UH. Read more about Jackson’s journey.
