Public events for 2nd UH President finalist start Monday
University of Hawaiʻi
Julian Vasquez Heilig
Wendy F. Hensel
Public events begin on Monday, September 30, for Julian Vasquez Heilig, one of the two finalists for president of the University of Hawaiʻi 10-campus system.
Vasquez Heilig will attend an open house and a moderated public forum on a UH campus in each of the four counties—Maui, Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi Island and Oʻahu (complete schedule below). He will take questions at the forums, which will be livestreamed and on Zoom and posted online afterward. Questions can be submitted on site or by using the Zoom chat function.
“We are asking all members of the UH ʻohana and other stakeholders, along with the general public, to participate in the public events and provide feedback on our finalists,” said UH Board of Regents Chair Gabriel Lee in the September 11 announcement naming the two finalists. “That input will be critical as the regents deliberate and select the next UH President.”
Links to the online survey to provide confidential feedback on Vasquez Heilig will be provided on Monday, September 30 before the public events begin. The survey will be closed on Friday, October 4 at 6 p.m.
Individuals can also provide feedback on both or either finalists by submitting comments to bor.testimony@hawaii.edu. The testimony will be posted publicly prior to the October 16 Special Board of Regents meeting, and can be submitted up to the start of the meeting.
More information on Vasquez Heilig, and finalist Wendy Hensel can be found on the UH President Search website. Hensel’s public events were held the week of September 23 and the videos of the four forums she participated in can also be found on the UH President Search website.
