 Nūpepa to merge with Mālamalama magazine UHAA's e-newsletter Nūpepa is merging with Mālamalama, the alumni magazine of the UH system. In response to budget cuts, the print version of Mālamalama was reduced from three to two issues per year; it will now be mailed in March and September. As a result, the online version of Mālamalama is being expanded and this will be the last issue of Nūpepa. A university task force, which included alumni from the UHAA board and employees of the UH System and UH Foundation, was convened to determine how to maximize the available resources. The group determined that the best alternative was to reduce the print version to two issues a year and combine the resources of the UH Foundation Office of Alumni Relations, which produces Nūpepa, and the Creative Services team in the UH System Office of External Affairs and University Relations, which produces Mālamalama, to focus on increasing the online presence of Mālamalama. The online version of Mālamalama will be issued six times a year – every other month. It has a new blog format, which allows readers to comment on content and includes multimedia features that take advantage of the Web's capabilities. The news, alumni and events sections will be frequently updated as we receive information pertinent to the broad alumni/public audience. Notices about the online version of Mālamalama will be sent via broadcast e-mail, just as Nūpepa has been, but the publication will be more robust. To see the online format of Mālamalama, please visit www.hawaii.edu/malamalama. For more information, please contact Mālamalama editor Cheryl Ernst at ernst@hawaii.edu, or alumni editor Stacia Garlach at stacia.garlach@uhf.hawaii.edu. UHAA News

The Wall of UH Fallen Warriors at the UH Army ROTC building was dedicated to each of these soldiers, who were all memorialized with a framed picture and story of their lives. This dedication was the UH Army ROTC Program and its cadets’ way, both past and present, of honoring the spirit and sacrifice of these Mānoa Warriors who died for our country, made Hawai‘i proud, and led by example for future generations of cadets. In attendance were friends and family members, Chancellor Hinshaw, Congressman Neil Abercrombie, Major General Lee, and a host of other dignitaries and visitors. Each hero was honored by a short presentation by either family members or close friends of the deceased as their framed picture story was unveiled.
