About Kilo-Wat:
"Kilo-Wat" Misaka, who led the University of Utah men's basketball team to the 1944 NCAA Championship at the height of World War II, when persons of Japanese descent from California, Washington, and Oregon were incarcerated in camps such as Topaz.
As residents of Utah, the Misaka family was spared incarceration.
Immediately following the Championship, Wat was drafted into the U.S. Army and, after the war ended, was assigned to interview survivors of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima.
When he returned home, he led the team to the 1947 NIT Championship, completed his degree in mechanical engineering, and was drafted by the New York Knicks, breaking the color barrier in professional basketball.
KILO-WAT explores what it means to make history within history.
The University of Utah retired Wat Misaka's number (20) in 2022.
CEU’s have been approved by Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions and Utah Psychological Association
CEU’s are free for Guild members & $5 for non‐members, per meeting.
To receive CEUs you must stay for the post play salon discussion.
For non-members who want a CEU certificate the fee is $5 which is non-refundable. If you need to cancel or do not attend, the $5 will revert to a donation. You can request that the $5 be credited towards a membership if you prefer to join for free CEUs in the future.
