Industry Giant Mike Curb Makes Music Happen

Thanks to a substantial gift from the Mike Curb Family Foundation, the Honolulu Community College Music and Entertainment Learning Experience (MELE) program now offers students access to a state-of-the-art recording studio. In recognition of their generosity, the learning facility has been named the Mike Curb Music and Entertainment Learning Experience Studios.

The Honolulu CC MELE program is the only program in the state that offers students Associate of Science degrees in Music Business or Audio Engineering. The goal of the program is to invest in local talent to grow Hawaiʻi's music industry and broaden its reach to the world.
