Arts & Sciences Reorganization
Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw has initiated a discussion to determine what type of organizational structure will best support the academic goals of the Colleges of Arts & Sciences and the School of Pacific & Asian Studies. Since the heart of the university is centered in these programs, there is a need to resolve pending questions of reorganization in order to allow these programs to move forward.

Diversity Matters at UH Mānoa
Former faculty members were honored for their contributions to the university as part of Diversity Matters week. Sponsored by Student Equity, Excellence & Diversity, these four distinguished faculty share their experiences at UH.
Mānoa Book Project
The Mānoa Book Project is an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to come together to explore a specific topic and to share experiences.
The project begins with a reading of a common book that provides one perspective on a given theme. The reading is followed by a semester- or year-long series of events which may include discussions with the book's author, seminars on the topic's economic and political perspectives, sharing of personal stories, or discussions on legal and moral implications.

Mānoa Makeover Events
The Mānoa Makeover initiative encourages and helps facilitate campus improvement projects. At the first event held in March, Chancellor Hinshaw and a group of students, faculty, and staff planted monkey pod trees along Dole Street. Future Mānoa Makeover projects will include more tree-plantings, painting, cleanups, and other campus improvements.
Organize A Mānoa Makeover Event
The Chancellor's Office will provide Mānoa Makeover t-shirts to campus groups who would like to organize their own event. Contact Sandy Shitanishi in the Chancellor's Office at 808-956-7488 for more information. View the Mānoa Makeover photo gallery.
