Graduation of Katarina Hou, Class of 2019

SUA would like to recognize the graduation of Katarina Hou, class of 2019. Due to the death of her grandmother, Ms. Hou made the difficult choice to be with her family in Myanmar instead of attending her commencement ceremony held on Friday, May 24, 2019, with her classmates. Ms. Hou has been an invaluable member of the SUA community. In addition to graduating with academic honors of Magna Cum Laude, she has contributed to the university by serving as the fourth-year class senate treasurer, working as the head usher at Soka Performing Arts Center for the past four years, and participating in various student organizations such as Pearl Magazine and Ka Pilina Ho’olokahi.  

SUA extends our deepest apology that Ms. Katarina Hou’s name was not included on the roster of graduates and announced at the commencement ceremony due to an unfortunate oversight. We would like to make special recognition of her academic accomplishments as well as her other contributions that she has made to the university. Congratulations to Ms. Hou for all her accomplishments and on her graduation! Also, we express our deepest condolences on her recent loss.
