Campaign Leadership

"I received my early education on the streets of the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. If I wasn’t given a chance to go to university on partial scholarship, I probably would still be on those streets. Education to me was more than a chance to achieve a modicum of success -- it was salvation. I am a member of the Centennial Cabinet because it is the best way I can impact a young person’s life." Barry Weinman

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CAMPAIGN LEADERS

From its earliest days, the University of Hawaiʻi has existed, first and foremost, for the people of Hawaiʻi. As we mark the centennial anniversary of public higher education in these islands, we take pride in those first 100 years. The University of Hawaiʻi has educated one million students, has grown from one very small house on O’ahu to ten campuses across the state, and is today a place where 1 in 12 Hawaiʻi citizens pursues their educational dreams. Student by student, family by family, through the past five generations the University of Hawaiʻi has provided the educational means to bring dreams to life.
