Bridging Knowledge Recipient Marcus Ortiz
“I wanted to learn more about my Hawaiian identity so I enrolled as an undergrad at the University of Hawaii at Manoa… while there I became privy to the historical traumas of colonization and how that manifests in modern times for Indigenous peoples. It was then that I felt compelled to support these populations—now I hope to help Indigenous students (among others) from the perspective of the library.”

The teachers created learning experiences that required in-depth knowledge and the ability to solve problems in a systematic way.”
