Anthropology student Bethany Okamoto is the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo's first second-generation Keaholoa scholar, following in the footsteps of her mother, Michelle Correia, who was in the program 20 years ago. The federally funded Keaholoa STEM Scholars Program is designed to increase the number of Native Hawaiians and other minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, commonly called STEM. 'We are excited to welcome our very first second-generation Keaholoa scholar into the spring 2023 cohort,' said Program Coordinator Keala Campbell.
