Fellow Alumni and Friends,

The University of Hawai‘i provides the highest level of learning in the State of Hawai‘i. Throughout its 10 campuses, UH offers unique and diverse programs to fulfill the needs of students seeking knowl-edge, training and hope for the future. Students not only achieve the highest levels of education, they also apply their education to make outstanding contributions to the community.

One need only look to past recipients of the UH Alumni Associa-tion Distinguished Alumni Awards to see that this is true. Last year’s honorees were no different: Army hero and helicopter pilot Tammy Duckworth ’89; attorneys Gary Galiher ’71, ’77; Diane Ono ’73, ’82, ’91; and John Komeiji ’75, who continually give back to the community; farmer Richard Ha ’73, who spends as much time researching sustainability and being a community volunteer as he does raising bananas, papayas and other produce; and chemistry pioneer Hing Leung Sham ’80, who is on the verge of discovering drugs that may one day cure Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

We now look forward to honoring a new group of outstanding UH alumni on May 10, 2012, at our annual Distinguished Alumni Awards event. We are now seeking nominations for this year’s award.

UHAA invites you to nominate alumni from any of the 10 Univer-sity of Hawai‘i System campuses, whose achievements you feel merit consideration for this prestigious UH alumni honor.

Mahalo,

Douglas H. Inouye, Esq., BA ’85, EMBA ’03 PresidentUniversity of Hawai‘i Alumni Association
