ELS grand opening

Roger had the grand opening of the ELS center at HPU. It was a really nice event. His boss flew in as well as some others from their corporate offices in Princeton. The President of HPU gave a really nice speech and said some really great things about Roger. Everyone was really proud of him (myself included) with what he has done in just a few months time. When he started in March there was no school here at all. He started from the ground up; hiring staff, furnishing the school, making contacts, registering students etc. He now has one of the fastest growing schools in the company with around 100 plus students enrolling each month.

Roger with some of his colleagues that flew out for the event - They loved it!


This is Roger with Dr. John Kearns - He is the Vice President of Academics at Hawai'i Pacific University. Before he was made the VP (in May) his office was next to Roger's. The two of them hit it off right away and have become good friends. Jon grew up here and has been very helpful to us as newcomer's to the island. He is a really great guy.
