The Sullivan Family Library is entering an exciting new chapter at Chaminade University. Following a nearly $1 million renovation, the library now offers new seating, group study areas, food-friendly spaces, and a welcoming new home for Kōkua ʻIke, the Center for Student Learning.The renovated space gives students more opportunities to study, collaborate, relax, and access important academic and career support — all in one centralized location.

As Sharon LePage, director of the Sullivan Family Library, said, “I envision one big space where students can gather together to access multiple services in one centralized location.” Students are already noticing the difference. “There’s more seating and more areas for students to work,” said Ckloe Alarcon, a Chaminade student and Kōkua ʻIke peer support specialist. Junior business major Blaze Carlson added that the new layout makes it easier for students to “hang out with your friends and talk story.”

Discover how the renovated library is transforming student life and creating a more comfortable, connected space for the Chaminade community. Read more about this story by clicking the link in our bio.

Marketing isn’t just something to study—it’s something to experience. Chaminade’s new Marketing Club is giving students the opportunity to create content, cover campus events, conduct interviews and build real-world skills outside the classroom. “The main goal of this Marketing Club is to help students gain more experience outside of the classroom,” said sophomore President Emma Boele.

With guidance from Vice President Keiki Puaʻa and advisor Breezlyn Marita, students from all majors can collaborate on projects designed to grow their creativity, confidence and portfolios.“They can put on their resume and say that they were a content creator for the University, not just a member of the Marketing Club,” Marita said.
