APLP Experience: Second Semester
The spring semester of the APLP is designed to provide the time, space and institutional support for fellows to pursue customized individual career plans and professional goals. Residency in Honolulu is not required.
The fall semester is extremely intensive. In the spring, APLP participants set their own agenda. It is an ideal time to reflect, prepare for transitions and actively build on fall semester learning.
APLP Fellows have the opportunity to enrich the knowledge and skills developed in the fall by selecting one of the following options:
- Full-time internship in the United States or in the Asia Pacific region
- Extended field study in Southeast Asia/Group Independent Study Travel (GIST)
- Elective courses at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa
- Applied leadership project
- Return home/to employment while remaining an active participant in the APLP
APLP GRADUATION CONFERENCE
Participants gather in Honolulu in May after completing internships, study, and projects in Asia Pacific, the U.S. mainland and Hawai‘i. Each participant gives an in-depth presentation on their activities, including reflection on the challenges and rewards of applying leadership and knowledge in new settings. Participants share experiences and learning during this important time of reflection, graduation and celebration.
