It took teamwork to produce the 2020 Transcultural Nursing Symposium at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. Collaboration with Performing Arts Department students under the guidance of Assistant Professor Justina Mattos was key to the success of the symposium and despite cancellations of events at UH Hilo due to the coronavirus, the School of Nursing‘s 16th Annual Transcultural Nursing Symposium continued as scheduled on March 24th, 2020.  Support and flexibility of faculty and students in switching to an online format was necessary to continue the symposium virtually. Symposium speakers Dr. Katharyn Daub, professor of nursing, and Dr. Randy Hirokawa, director of the UH Hilo Health Professions Student Center, along with senior nursing students Gregory Zukeran and Shantel Bolosan guided by their course instructor Dr. Patricia Hensley, assistant professor of nursing, quickly switched the symposium to a virtual format with access for those who wanted to participate.
