Kimo Ames Wildcat Way: Inclusive
Kimo Ames is the type of person who looks across a room, finds the person sitting alone, and goes to introduce himself. His most common ice breaker question is asking a student/colleague where they went to high school and then guessing their high school mascot. It’s amazing to see students faces light up when he guesses right, and they have formed an immediate connection. Kimo makes sure folks don’t feel left out, are included in on the conversation, and feel as though they belong. He’s great at finding the folks who might be outliers, the difficult to reach, the reclusive, and the alternatively friendly. He will find a way to form a connection and ensure that student or colleague feels enveloped by his kind and patient energy.
