The Kipapa i ke Ala Lecture Series
The Kipapa i ke Ala Lecture Series is organized by the Shidler College of Business and presented with the help of friends in the business community. Kipapa i ke Ala means "to pave the way," which is befitting of this series created to help us understand how our state may benefit from the fast-paced changes in the worldwide marketplace. This forum brings the best and brightest from the world of international business to share their knowledge with students, faculty, alumni and members of the greater Hawaii community. We invite you to join us in "paving the way."
Inquiries about the Kipapa i ke Ala Lecture Series may be directed to the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship at (808) 956-5083 or pace@hawaii.edu.
