The Pacific Postsecondary Education Council is a consortium of presidents and chancellors of higher education institutions in the U.S. and U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands who work collaboratively to serve the needs of member institutions as they address regional and postsecondary education issues.
The events were announced by Pele Harman, UH Hilo’s director of Native Hawaiian engagement and Mary Kawena Pukui’s great-granddaughter, who says she is excited to see the coin finally out after working with the U.S. Mint on its launch.
“These plans are the result of thoughtful collaboration across our campus community, shaped by the voices and insights of many who engaged in conversations, provided feedback, and contributed directly to their development.” -Chancellor Bonnie D. Irwin
It was a busy but rewarding week, as we were able to demonstrate to both President Hensel and the Board of Regents how we live the vision in our new Strategic Plan, “to be a model university and community, seamlessly woven together (hilo).”
Meiji University is one of UH Hilo’s important exchange partners for both student and faculty exchange programs.
The visit was part of President Hensel’s systemwide tour of UH’s 10 campuses, meeting with students, faculty and staff across the state in her first 90 days.
In a brand new role at her alma mater, Pele Harman has “hit the ground running,” connecting staff to cultural resources, making space for Native Hawaiian students, and raising cultural awareness.
UH Hilo’s main goal is to improve the quality of life for families and communities by producing highly skilled graduates who can answer workforce needs of our island, state, and region. With the full support of the State Legislature, we can continue to get the job done.
