New Warrior Head Football Coach Norman Chow is proud of all the young men who committed to play for UH on Signing Day, February 2. One in particular is Steve Lakalaka, a running back from Punahou, who has an interest in medicine as well as sports.
Coach Chow visited the John A. Burns School of Medicine with Lakalaka to show him and his mother our facilities and hear about the medical education at JABSOM, including the seven years in a row of above-average licensing exam scores by our medical students.
In this clip from You Tube, at around 9:00 in, the Coach describes how Lakalaka’s “eyes lit up” when he saw the opportunity for first-class medical education here at home.
“Steve Lakalaka was a big get for us. It was so fun. I went down personally to help him on a tour at the University of Hawai’i medical school in Kaka’ako and you could see visually his eyes lit up as he toured the facility and he realized that he could get this great education here at home,” said Coach Chow.
Thanks, Coach!
