Who was Sister Thea Bowman
Our work is inspired by the life and philosophy of Thea Bowman, a Catholic nun of the Franciscan Sisters of the Perpetual Adoration, who “helped people everywhere she went to explore their identity and to find their deepest humanity.”
Meet the Staff

What Is AHANA?
More than an acronym, the term “AHANA" was coined by students in 1979 to celebrate the cultural differences present in the Ҵý community and in our society.
