Today our campus gathered to celebrate Lā Kū‘oko‘a, Independence Day, through mele, mo‘olelo, and community. 

Lā Kū‘oko‘a is celebrated every year on November 28, honoring the national holiday that marks the date in 1843 when the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i was formally recognized by England and France through the signing of the Anglo-Franco Proclamation, and through verbal acknowledgment with the United States.
Congratulations to the Kapiʻolani CC Paralegal Program on 𝟱𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! 🎉 @kccparalegal 

⚖️ Since 1975, the program has proudly served Hawaiʻi’s communities as the state’s only American Bar Association-approved paralegal education program, shaping generations of dedicated legal professionals. 

With heartfelt gratitude, we acknowledge the legacy of community service, access, and leadership rooted in the program’s founding by Robert “Bob” LeClair, Esq. and the unwavering dedication of faculty and students who have stepped into law firms, nonprofits, Hawaiʻi’s judicial system, and beyond.

Here’s to fifty years of impact, and to countless more years of empowering our haumāna. 🌺 #KapiʻolaniCC #ParalegalProgram #50Years
