The Mid-Pacific Institute was gifted $10 million this week by an anonymous donor. It's the largest single gift in the school’s history. The private school is tucked away on 43-acres in Mānoa Valley and has over 1,300 students. So how will the donation benefit students now — and in the future? The Conversation sat down with Mid-Pac President Paul Turnbull to learn more.

This interview aired on The Conversation on April 1, 2022. The Conversation airs weekdays at 11 a.m. on HPR-1.
