2026 Bonner Capstone Presentations

Location: UCB 115

We invite you to two of the 2026 Bonner Capstone Presentations!

Title: Kūlia i ka Nuʻu: Striving for the Highest
Leiya Torrano, Business Administration
As a first generation student, I have learned that much of my success at UH Hilo was made possible because of the support of my community and the programs I have joined. The goal of this capstone project was to use the voices of our current UH Hilo students to create a program that supports our local high school first-generation students through developing skills that will help them reach their highest goals when they begin their college journey.

Hydroponics at the Food Basket: Unlimited Potential
Hayden Niles, Marine Science
Over the past two and a half years I have worked with vertical hydroponic towers at the Food Basket. This has not only been a learning experience for me, but also a potentially transformational pilot project for the Food Basket. In this presentation I will share my experiences and how this pilot may be applied to areas in need and to Hawai'i Island as a whole.
