The ‘Ohana

In 2005, Courtney Barry graduated from HPU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Entrepreneurial Business Administration. For over 20 years, he has been involved in nearly every facet of the hospitality industry and is currently the Culinary Service Director at Hale O Meleana with Ohana Pacific Health.

Studying at HPU encouraged Scott Nolan Smith to approach the world through a different lens. He chose HPU because of the small class sizes and the ability to study the Asia-Pacific region while living in the Pacific. Smith met his future wife, HPU alumna Alicia Kubert while studying at HPU, both living at the scenic Hawaii Loa campus.
