There's a difference between learning about a place and experiencing it firsthand — something Honors study away program leaders Dr. Brooke Hansen and Audra Santerre know well. The Honors Hawaii Beyond the Classroom program combines pre-trip coursework with immersive community experiences, preparing students to arrive in Hawaii ready to engage thoughtfully with the land, culture, and local communities. Joined by Hawaii Beyond the Classroom alum Naja Daye, Dr. Hansen and Audra reflect on what it takes to bring a study away program to life. Whether you're a student exploring your study away options or simply curious about what meaningful experiential learning looks like, this conversation pulls back the curtain.
