KULEANA Plastic pollution is one of the gravest threats facing our oceans today. In just 15 years, the amount of plastic in the sea is projected to double—and by 2050, it could outweigh all marine life combined. How do we prevent this future?

Narrated by Woody Harrelson, KULEANA takes audiences on a visually stunning journey into the heart of this crisis, using Hawai‘i—one of the most remote and ecologically fragile places on Earth—as its lens.

We didn't know if anyone would show up for our first Coffee Hour, so we were delighted our first two attendees were students!. Chancellor Sanchez snapped this moment to memorialize it for history.


So JOIN US this Wednesday and/or Thursday for FREE Coffee, FREE Espresso and FREE Danish + Meet New Friends!

For the first event, 80 people attended...not too shabby.

No`eau Keopuhiwa (left) was our Guest Barista, and Mark Ombrello helped set up the coffee bar.

Chancellor Sanchez promoted, hosted & brought a HUGE Cake to the event. Thomas Vidinha helped put the whole thing together.

Dean Kurt Takamine enjoying the mix of students staff and faculty..the KCC Ohana.

For a while, the Espresso line got backed up, prob because No`eau is so talented with the process.
