Aloha, my name is Raysen Rulloda-Kim, and I am from Wahiawā, Hawai'i. I am a first-generation college student at Maryville University of Saint Louis pursuing a bachelor's degree in graphic design and a concentration in marketing. The interests I have within the Polynesian culture is that being from a small town in Hawai'i, all we care about is just giving aloha to is our community in Wahiawā. We as a small community town have that passion to just help others in need of assistance, whether it is the kūpuna or keiki. When I was in high school, I have volunteered for a non-profit media organization, 'Ōlelo community media. Where I participated in an after-school media program learning basic production and throughout the learning processes, we had a hands-on experience in the field by volunteering for events island-wide. The events were at places like Waimea valley, Liliʻuokalani church, Hawai'i state capitol and more places all over the island. As the media program and volunteering started to become a routine, I eventually got certified in basic production and got the opportunity to teach basic production to the youth in intermediate school. This made me become a better leader by utilizing our newfound skills to teach back to our community and create creative public service announcements and short documentaries that was entered in 'Ōlelo's youth video competition and broadcasted on their television networks. What does the term "Aloha Happens" mean to me? I believe it is the passion for helping people and giving back to any community, by either volunteering, teaching, or even just being an outstanding person that is willing to help with the kindness of their heart. I make this happen when I am back in Hawai'i but also when I am here in Saint Louis, Missouri. I make sure I have a diverse voice here at Maryville University and the broader Saint Louis region, I always make sure to spread the aloha spirit anywhere and wherever I go and just have the passion to include everyone. What I do currently at Maryville is that I am really involved in office of student involvement and try to connect them with the office of diversity and inclusion because they rarely collaborate with each other. So, I am trying to break the boundaries and change the culture to where both offices can work together in unison and understanding of one another. I am on the student involvement organization CONNECT, which is the committee on new and existing campus traditions. And given our name, I don't believe our organization connects well with diverse and inclusive organizations and I am starting to change that by giving aloha to everyone organization that needs help here and there by volunteering myself to help set-up and take down every event that happen. I want to create different relationships to network together and create one big, amazing event on our campus. So, what does "Aloha Happens" mean to me? It means we all have to stick together and become a diverse and inclusive voice within our community wherever we are by always giving back.
