Welina mai kākou,

Aloha and welcome to the 2024-25 academic year. As we start this year with renewed energy and excitement, we also recognize and honor all of the collective effort and hard work we have already put in to prepare and ready ourselves for this year and our students. I am reminded of the ʻōlelo noʻeau, I haʻaheo no ka lawaiʻa i ka lako i ka upena. The fisherman may well be proud when well supplied with nets. Like the fisherman, we should be proud. We have supplied ourselves with the tools we need and in turn are prepared for our students and a successful year. Hoʻomaikaʻi!

In order to prepare for a successful year of Strategic Plan Implementation, I am providing a few important references and the YEAR 2 form, to get you all started since Department/Unit meetings are underway. For the 2nd year of Strategic Planning, we will have a whole year to complete this cycle.

Below are the Strategic Plan and the associated documents. The leads of every department, unit, program and AGOs will be completing a plan. The website is underdevelopment and in the meantime, you can access the documents below. I will send an update when we have the site ready.
