Students in the MSF program will receive instructions from our faculty within small classes that optimize interaction and mutual learning. Shidler Finance majors will be able to apply to the MSF Program toward the end of their junior year or early in their senior year. If accepted, they will be able to take up to two level and one level course as an undergraduate. These courses will be allowed to count toward their undergraduate and graduate degrees. They will take 30 credit hours of Masters level courses.
If they do not have BBAs in Finance or related areas, they will need to take additional courses in economics, accounting, and finance i. MSF Functional courses 21 credits minimum; courses can be overlapping across functional areas. The deadline for scholarship consideration and international applicants is March 1st of the year before they enter into the program. The regular review deadline for all MSF applicants is May 1st. Most students should expect to take 30 credits in order to complete the program.
However, some students without finance or related degrees may be required to take additional courses in economics, accounting, and corporate finance. The Finance faculty in the Shidler College of Business faculty is a diverse group of internationally accomplished researchers, teachers, and consultants.
In early , James arrived in San Francisco and was an immediate casualty of the dot-com crash. She worked in sales. She worked in marketing. She consulted a career coach and was considering all kinds of possibilities, when someone approached her with the idea of a mobile website for wine.
She pounced. For three years, they were on top. Despite that partnership collapsing, James had found her niche, and went on to help develop more companies, building entrepreneurial skills as she went.
When she decided Hawaii was where she wanted to be, James turned to entrepreneurship. The next step, she says, will be encouraging elected leaders to create a better atmosphere for the innovation sector. Burns School of Medicine Age Alika Maunakea credits his great-grandmother, Katherine Maunakea, a respected kupuna and practitioner of laau lapaau, or traditional Hawaiian remedies, for inspiring him to choose a career in medicine.
Maunakea is an epigeneticist who studies the molecular interaction between the environment and genes, and how changes in this interaction affect diseases that disproportionally affect the Native Hawaiian population. A graduate of the Kamehameha Schools, he studied at Creighton University and completed graduate school at the University of California San Francisco before working at the National Institutes of Health. Within the human body, the genetic matter DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones, and both materials are covered with chemical tags collectively known as epigenomes.
Although the genome is fixed for life, epigenomes are flexible — turning on and off in response to such environmental factors as stress, diet and exercise, Maunakea says.
Not only does he hope to find ways to diagnose and treat illnesses, but also to prevent illnesses by identifying people who might be predisposed to them. Camilo Mora is no stranger to controversy. But Mora remains undeterred. For instance, he says, Mora layers climate data over countries where there are both environmental threats and poverty.
That early experience, he says, helped create his drive to solve social ills. Mora is a pioneer; few scientists link climate science and social issues. But this is crucial to a real change, Mora says. We need unifying solutions.
Perhaps his greatest challenge is to get people to keep paying attention. He keeps offering recommendations — like drastically slowing the rate of population growth and pursuing worldwide carbon neutrality — all while conducting new research through his unique, multidisciplinary lens. His next project, which he is funding out of his own pocket, is elegant in its simplicity. His vision is for us to plant trees, thereby offsetting our personal carbon usage.
He is working with engineers to build a robot that would care for plants and is designing an app for people to manage their own carbon-neutrality. Then it will be a race to be the first carbon-neutral city. But, of course, we need money for it! Kawika Riley sees his work as a calling more than a career. In , after rising through the government ranks in Washington, D. He heads a member team that advances public policies favorable to Hawaiians at the local, state, federal and international levels.
The movement to secure federal recognition for Hawaiians has faced stiff opposition at the federal and state levels, but Riley remains optimistic. He draws upon a range of government experience, having worked as senior aide to Sen. Daniel Akaka before becoming a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration from to In , he founded the Pacific Islander Access Project, a nonprofit that aims to increase access to higher education for Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders.
Looking to the future, Riley finds inspiration in his two young children. Her role also encompasses compliance, training and development, facilities, communications, corporate security, community development, human resources and benefits, such as the LifeBalance program. It uses a video game-style tracking system, ping-pong tables to encourage people to move, FitBits for any employee who wants one and stairwells painted with encouraging ninjas. Over the past 13 years at Oceanit, Ian Kitajima has come to think of his role as a recruiter, talent agent and technology translator.
His official title is corporate development director, but his business card simply has his name and contact info. Kitajima credits Patrick and Jan Sullivan, founders of the local science, technology and engineering company, with giving him the leeway to explore new markets and bring aboard fresh talent.
What makes the person an Oceanit person is they fit here. The fit is driven by who they are as a person. They are about giving, service; they have heart. In the past decade, thanks to people Kitajima has recruited, Oceanit has spun out three venture-funded companies, in addition to starting one major new innovation each month. Ian has done that. Age Hawaii is undergoing an energy transformation, and with new approaches needed, many eyes are on Alicia Moy.
LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to minus degrees Fahrenheit. If we can bring LNG here in larger quantities, we can reduce the amount people spend on energy.
You want to design a program and then back out LNG as the renewable market develops. And gas partners well with renewable energy. Take solar; when a cloud goes over the panel, the gas flicks on. She gets the big picture. Moy serves on the boards of Aloha United Way and the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, and is married to an investment banker, Jake Houseman, who is currently focused on raising their toddler son, Kai. We have been in this community more than years and have deep roots.
So we can sit on the sidelines and slowly wither, or we can be on the forefront and develop solutions. Kalani Fonda. Over the past twenty years, Kalani has invested many hours in completing projects that would improve communities and systems giving credit to working with host communities to be a key quality for success.
