Student Testimonials

Christina Geisse

The Asian Studies Program was incredible because most professors were undertaking their own research, passionate about their subject of study, and enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge with students. It felt fresh and profound at the same time. Inspiring!

I was able to delve deep and focus on the areas of Asian Studies that truly interested me, and therefore gained a much more thorough and developed understanding of my fields of interest, which are applicable to my current career path. Also, the professors are extremely helpful and want their students to succeed. They were very supportive both while I was at UH and after I graduated.

Student Spotlight: Peter Bennett

Peter Bennett is a second-year MAAS student at UH Mānoa. He spent his summer in an internship at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies (DKIAPCSS). There, he had the opportunity to sit through several courses they gave to government officials from all over the Asia-Pacific region, getting the chance to be informed about security within Asia/Oceania. While attending these courses, Peter took detailed notes that will be used in the future to see how courses at the center can be improved. Peter’s favorite part of his summer internship was getting to talk to the faculty and the students, as they were always open to discussion.
