After nearly a decade as dean of the Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge, Dr. Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwoʻole Osorio is stepping down from administration to return to the classroom.

A historian, musician, and advocate, Dr. Osorio has shaped the field of ʻŌiwi political and social history and guided Hawaiʻinuiākea through a 10-year accreditation renewal with the World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium. Beyond these milestones, Osorio shares his heart has always been in teaching.
