Four finalists have been identified for the Honolulu Community College chancellor position and students, faculty, staff and the public are invited to meet them in open forums on Friday, October 14, in Loui Room 201 of Building 2 on campus. Each finalist was selected by University of Hawaiʻi Vice President for Community Colleges Erika Lacro based on recommendations from the chancellor search advisory committee. 

Lacro said, “Students, faculty, staff and community are encouraged to attend the open forums that will include Q&A sessions to meet and provide feedback about the finalists.”

After the campus visits and review of the feedback from the chancellor search advisory committee and others, Lacro plans to submit a recommendation for the Honolulu CC chancellor appointment to UH President David Lassner.
