Our Values The faculty, staff, students, and overall university community of Hawai‘i Pacific embrace the following Hawaiian values as representative of the spiritual, ethical, and philosophical principles that support our community.

PONO meaning righteous, honest and moral, and an energy of necessity.

KULEANA meaning responsibility and rights, and concern for all interests, property, and people.

ALOHA meaning hello, goodbye, love, kindness and grace, unity, humility, patience, and waiting for the right moment.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT As I reflect on the past year, I am humbled to work alongside such a diverse, dedicated community of individuals. I’ve seen our core values of pono, kuleana, and aloha demonstrated on a daily basis through new community partnerships, research conducted by world-renowned faculty, and the care and support that staff and faculty express to our students.

I am inspired by our faculty’s commitment to helping our students look closer at the subjects they’re most passionate about. Whether it’s through our small class sizes or instructor involvement in clubs and organizations outside of the classroom, they help students gain first-hand experience in their studies.

This hands-on experience helps our students see further, guiding them to a better understanding of how each piece fits into the bigger picture. Through opportunities like our study abroad program that offers over 400 study abroad experiences in more than 70 countries to our Girls Who Code chapter that connects high schoolers with our students interested in the STEM field, this tailored approach to education supports our students’ individualized learning, allowing them to visualize the future by exploring their interests.

We believe that through these efforts our students are able to do more.

When we create an environment that fosters growth, we empower our students to explore their passions after they graduate and enter a competitive global workplace market-ready.

This innovative approach to learning has also allowed us to become an integral part of the downtown Honolulu community and – thanks to over 45,000 alumni – to make a positive impact on the world as well.

Mahalo, John Y. Gotanda President, Hawai‘i Pacific University

MESSAGE FROM THE PROVOST Hawai‘i Pacific University provides an unmatched environment with personal support from passionate and dedicated faculty and staff. Our location set in the rich cultural community of downtown Honolulu allows students to enjoy a vibrant international city while getting up close and personal learning outside of the classroom. It’s my honor to oversee the academic and student affairs of our university and witness the growth of students and faculty each year.

We have the unique privilege of being at the center of an international hub of East meets West, allowing our students to experience a diverse and cross-cultural environment as soon as they leave their doorstep. This community fosters growth that creates a personal approach to engaging with the curriculum in a deliberately intimate learning environment. Our low student-to-faculty ratio, with a majority of classes having fewer than 20, means students interact with faculty who know them well and care about their success.

Robust academic offerings taught by faculty who are engaged in groundbreaking research foster an environment of transformative forward thinking. With our hands-on biomedical or oceanographic research, our inaugural Doctor of Nursing Practice cohort, and our new hybrid delivery Master of Public Administration degree steps away from the state capitol, we are among leaders in innovation and hands-on experiential learning.

It is my pleasure to introduce you to some of our expert faculty members who are highlighted in this year’s President’s Report. It takes the work of many to create a community of engaged students who offer unique points-of-view and be competent global ambassadors of Hawai‘i Pacific University.

Aloha, Matthew Liao-Troth, Ph.D. Provost, Hawai‘i Pacific University

SHAPING OUR FUTURE Inspired by Hawai‘i Pacific University’s diverse community and rooted in the Hawaiian values of pono, kuleana, and aloha, the University launched a 10-year strategic plan in 2017. The plan — spearheaded by faculty, staff, and students — will serve as a blueprint for HPU to engage current and future students with excellence in education and innovation, within a supportive learning environment. It is structured around six themes:

CULTIVATING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Our dedicated faculty and staff will serve and strengthen the University’s communities through direct engagement, academic pursuits, and preparation of our graduates to live, work, and learn as active members of a diverse global society.

FOCUSING ON STUDENTS Preparing students to become global citizens is a primary outcome of student support services, degree and co-curricular programs, mentoring relationships with faculty and staff, and the learning environment that is offered to students.

BUILDING OUR COMMUNITIES HPU will strengthen the interaction and synergy within the University, enhance the engagement and partnership with local communities, and heighten our reputation nationally and internationally.

DEVELOPING AND SUSTAINING OUR RESOURCES To achieve the University’s mission, HPU will recruit, develop, and retain talented faculty and staff, identify and access external financial assets, and manage facilities to optimally support our programs and research activities.

TRANSFORMING THE UNIVERSITY: CAMPUSES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCESSES In accordance with the 2014 university master plan, the upcoming reformation of the downtown campus will address a long-standing university need for an identifiable, connected, and cohesive campus with sufficient gathering spaces for students, faculty, and staff.

EMBRACING OUR LOCATION Showcasing Hawai‘i’s unique national and global location, we define ourselves as a leading educational institution by promoting our cultural, scientific, geographic, historical, economic, and environmental identity.

REFLECTING HAWAIIAN VALUES MALAMA HPU HPU’s dedication to community stewardship led to the creation of Malama HPU, sponsored

by University Relations and The Office of Human Resources in 2017. Exemplifying the university values of pono, kuleana, and aloha, staff, faculty, and students participate in service projects in the areas surrounding the campus. From painting light posts to cleaning historical monuments, volunteers find ways to give back to the community the HPU ‘ohana calls home.

SOUND THE ALARM The American Red Cross of Hawai‘i is HPU’s service organization partner for the 2017-2018 academic year. The partnership was born out of the University’s desire to give

back and partner with an organization that is an integral part in creating a safe, healthy, and vibrant community. Since the inception of the partnership, members of the HPU ‘ohana have provided fire safety education to local residents and assisted with installing smoke detectors through the “Sound the Alarm” campaign.

CULTIVATING OPEN-MINDED CITIZENS STUDY ABROAD In addition to being a cultural nexus on campus, HPU strongly believes in the study abroad experience for students. The University’s International Exchange and Study Abroad Program assists students with finding the best scholarships and opportunities through partnerships with hundreds of universities around the globe. Jade Rhodes, the recipient of multiple scholarships, including the HPU Study Abroad Scholarship and an $8,000 Gilman International Scholarship to study in Japan says, “The HPU Study Abroad Scholarship has given me the financial opportunity to be a part of an incredible journey that will help me grow as a student, as a global citizen and ambassador for my peers. I can show youth that traveling while pursuing an education is possible and a powerful tool to make positive change within our own communities and globally.”

PEER MENTOR PROGRAM At HPU, students have a unique opportunity to support incoming freshmen to the university. With students from all 50 states and over 70 countries, the diverse backgrounds have created unique relationships, which has helped to foster the creation of the Peer Mentor Program. Led by Student Life’s First Year Experience, student leaders help to guide freshmen through their first year away from home.

By providing academic support and resources for cultural and personal questions, peer mentors help freshmen get the most out of their first year. Senior peer mentor Rachael Downham says, “When I was a freshman, I had a really great mentor, and that’s what motivated me to become a peer mentor myself. The fact that she was always

there to answer questions and help guide me as a freshman, and someone new to Hawai‘i was a really awesome experience. It’s great to be able to

have that kind of impact on someone’s life.”

SEIZING OPPORTUNITY WELCOMING DEAN WILLIAM “BILL” RHEY, PH.D. The College of Business welcomes William “Bill” Rhey, Ph.D., as its new Dean following Interim Dean Warren Wee’s upcoming retirement after 30 years of service to HPU. Rhey previously served as Associate Vice President for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development at Florida Polytechnic University. He also served as Dean, and Professor of Marketing, at the Barnett School of Business and Free Enterprise at Florida Southern College. He earned a B.S. from Bucknell University, an M.B.A. from Baylor University, and a Ph.D. in marketing from the University of Mississippi. The breadth of his experiences include guiding the AACSB accreditation at Florida Southern College, creating an annual “CEO 100 Lecture Series,” securing funding for an enterprise center, and establishing worldwide partnerships.

Rhey’s attraction to HPU was enhanced by the opportunity to serve in “a major business destination in paradise alongside a diverse student body and an innovative group of faculty members.” Rhey and the faculty envision

the College of Business being “known for quality business education, for projectbased learning, for expert instruction, and for our global educational environment.”

Knowlege is easier to grasp when you receive a hands-on education.

CREATING HEALTHCARE LEADERS EXPANDING NURSING PROGRAMS With a new Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), a Master of Science and Post Master in Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nursing Practitioner (AGACNP), and a state-of-the-art simulation center, the College of Health and Society is expanding.

Offering the only online DNP and the only AGACNP programs in the state, HPU develops expert, global healthcare leaders. The flexible yet rigorous DNP, HPU’s first doctoral degree, welcomed a diverse inaugural class in fall 2017. In December, seven students earned the first HPU Master of Science in Nursing AGACNP degree, recognizing over 630 hours of hands-on clinical practice.

In addition to working alongside healthcare professionals, HPU students perfect their craft in an innovative simulation center. Acting Dean Jayne Smitten, Ph.D., who is a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator-Advanced (CHSE-A), says, “In terms of patient care and safety overall, we are going to see a significant difference with simulation in healthcare education.”

11

DESIGNING EXPERIENCES FOR DIVERSITY INNOVATIVE EDUCATION As Mani Sehgal, A.B.D., advances to Dean of the College of Professional Studies, Roger Kiyomura, Ed.D., accepts the Director of the School of Education position. Kiyomura brings his diverse leadership experiences – from teaching biology and basketball at an urban public high school to guiding graduate students at HPU and the EastWest Center – to lead the new online Master of Education in Educational Leadership. This program enables

global education leaders to engage in innovative learning platforms, collaborate with cohort peers, and advance their careers.

The Master of Public Administration is another new program in the College of Professional Studies preparing market-ready change agents. Hybrid and online, public policy and personnel administration, statistics and leadership, criminal justice and nonprofit management, internships and capstone papers – the Master of Public Administration offers vast options in a flexible format to ensure satisfying careers.

ADVANCING HANDS-ON RESEARCH NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH GRANT In Hawai‘i Pacific University’s INBRE (IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence) research labs, Associate Professor of Chemistry Lei Wang,

Ph.D., and a team of scientists, including HPU undergraduate students, aim to establish a new and effective drug target for Alzheimer’s disease treatment. Wang is the principal investigator for a two-

year $410,000 National Institutes of Health (NIH), R15 AREA program grant received in fall 2017.

One of the goals of the NIH in funding R15 AREA program grants is to provide hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, exposing them to careers in the biomedical field. The NIH is also interested in supporting the projects of principal investigators with demonstrated experience supervising student researchers.

Wang, who joined the HPU faculty in 2012, brought to the University research collaborations from his previous affiliations, including the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich and The Salk Institute for Biological Studies. While Wang is eager to establish new findings with his research, he is equally enthusiastic about cultivating the next generation of scientists in his lab and in his classroom.

LEARNING FROM OUR ELDERS KUPUNA IN RESIDENCE HPU’s Kupuna in Residence, Lynette Cruz, Ph.D., emulates the values of her ancestors. From spreading aloha while cultivating the Kahana Valley taro patch, to accepting kuleana while sharing Hawaiian stories with students, or perpetuating a pono path while advising university protocols – Cruz guides students as an honored elder and ‘aunty’ to many students. “My kuleana is helping students feel like they have an ‘ohana, or family. If they are family to me, then they are family to my family,” says Cruz.

We try to teach students that if you make the connection and assume the responsibility here, you can do that anywhere.

CHANGING OUR PERSPECTIVE NGOC PHAN, PH.D. The College of Liberal Arts recently welcomed Ngoc Phan, Ph.D., a passionate advocate for first-generation college students. Phan earned her doctorate from Rice University and has experienced almost every type of higher education institution – from large research-oriented public universities to small teaching-centric private colleges. She not only contributes her data-driven, scientific approach to HPU’s political science courses, but she also shares her personal education story – a story of parents and grandparents who fled Vietnam as political refugees, enabling her to be born a U.S. citizen and to become the first in her family to go to college and to receive a Ph.D. In her discussions and as a member of HPU’s student retention committee, Phan connects students with resources to ensure they, too, thrive in higher education.

RESIDENTIAL HONORS PROGRAM HPU’s Residential Honors students are getting a cross-disciplinary learning experience course, team-taught by volcanologist and environmental educator Andrew Greene, Ph.D., and historian Jon Davidann, Ph.D. The curriculum “immerses students into an amalgamated array of geologic, oceanic, atmospheric, historic and political topics to paint a portrait of the Pacific Ocean, the countries that border it, and Hawai‘i,” according to the course syllabus.

While exploring the USS Arizona Memorial, creating a broadcast video, or investigating local geologic sites, students experience how “different, deeper, or even contradictory understandings unfold when phenomena are viewed from multiple perspectives,” explains Michael Erickson, Ph.D., Interim Director of the Honors Programs.

TAILORING EXPERIENCES FOR INNOVATION CAPSTONE SYMPOSIUM In recognition of students’ academic contributions to the community and global marketplace, HPU held its sixth annual Capstone Symposium in 2017 allowing students to display and present their accomplishments. Students showcased how they are preparing for future careers using research skills they’ve learned within their degree programs by, for example, video recording coastal erosion, posting suicide prevention materials on school websites, and examining the effects of aid in Africa. Capstone Symposium coordinator Hanh Nguyen, Ph.D., explains, “The event is an excellent venue for cross-disciplinary exchanges.

Students show consolidation of learned knowledge, skills, and professionalism as well as gain public recognition for their work.”

A PATHWAY FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Hawai‘i Pacific University is making higher education more affordable and accessible by offering dual-credit programs to high school students, and the University’s two newest high school partnerships were launched in the 2017-18 academic year. On Hawai‘i island, students at Honoka‘a High School connect with HPU faculty via video technology, allowing for realtime, distance learning. In the inaugural fall 2017 term, 17 students at Honoka‘a took a writing course to satisfy requirements for both a high school diploma and a university degree.

At Maryknoll School in Honolulu, juniors and seniors have the opportunity to enroll in the associate degree dual credit pathway at HPU. Starting in fall 2017, six Maryknoll juniors with outstanding academic records are pursuing the Associate of Arts degree while finishing their high school diploma.

“HPU is committed to approaching higher education in an innovative way by giving students the ability to create personalized academic experiences, expedite the attainment of a college degree, and equip graduates with the experience and skills to succeed,” says John Gotanda, president of HPU.

The journey to true understanding begins with looking closer and viewing the big picture.

EXCELLING IN ATHLETICS NCAA WOMAN OF THE YEAR NOMINEE As a senior, women’s tennis student-athlete Nicole Hoynaski (BS Mass Communication ’17) was named one of the top 30

among 543 nominees for the 2017 National Collegiate Athletic Association Woman of the Year award.

The program recognizes achievement in academics, athletics, community service, and leadership.

Hoynaski, who hails from Sydney, Australia, is grateful for her time at HPU. Inspired by her coach, Lauren Conching, who started National Girls & Women in Sports Day at HPU, Hoynaski hopes to bring the event to Boise State University, where she now serves as an assistant tennis coach.

“After seeing how many meaningful advances my peers have been taking in helping their communities, I realized this was something I could implement,” she says.

PACWEST CONFERENCE CHAMPS The Hawai‘i Pacific University Sharks won the 2018 PacWest Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament Championship with a 77-71 triumph over Point Loma to go with their regular season co-championship. HPU has won conference championships in 2010, 2015 and 2018.

HPU placed four players on the 2018 All-PacWest Conference Team and head coach Reid Takatsuka was honored as the PacWest Conference Coach of the Year.

This is the third time in seven seasons that Takatsuka has been selected as the Coach of the Year.

FOSTERING A LEGACY OF GENEROSITY HAWAI‘I PACIFIC UNIVERSITY RECEIVES $1M GIFT FROM TRUSTEE EMERITUS International businessman and trustee emeritus Dr. Allen Zecha and his wife Nobuko have given a $1 million gift to Hawai’i Pacific University. This transformational gift will enable HPU to make a variety of high-impact decisions that support programs and initiatives university-wide, accelerating achievement of the University’s 2017-2027 Strategic Plan.

Dr. Zecha, who is a former president of Medtronic Asia-Pacific and who was appointed vice president of the corporation prior to his retirement, earned a master’s degree from MIT and a doctorate in chemistry from Stanford. In recognition of Dr. Zecha’s professional and educational background, a portion of the Zechas’ gift will be used to establish new engineering degree programs at HPU. The State of Hawai’i has great demand for graduates with the capacity to address complex social issues through STEM-related solutions, and HPU is proud to honor Dr. Zecha’s passion for education and engineering in this way.

Over his nearly three-decade relationship with HPU, Dr. Zecha has made an immense contribution to the University. His role as advocate, advisor, and steadfast supporter of HPU cannot be overstated.

Dr. Zecha admires the caliber of graduates HPU produces — multicultural, confident, and capable — and he says these qualities define the success of business in the community and within a global society.

HPU thanks the Zechas for their incredible contribution to the realization of the University’s vision to be the leader in innovative higher education.

This generous donation by Dr. Allen and Nobuko Zecha helps the university bolster innovative programs, like engineering, while maintaining our personal hands-on learning environment.

STUDYING AND SUSTAINING LIFE BENEATH THE SURFACE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION Melissa Jung, a recent M.S. in Marine Science graduate took cues from the up close and personal approach that she learned from HPU in directing her research about sea turtles, or honu in Hawaiian. Jung conducted, published, and globally shared research that validates an efficient laboratory method for testing polymer composition and describing the plastics eaten

by Pacific sea turtles.

“By knowing which polymers marine organisms eat, society can make better informed decisions to improve the environment,” explains Jennifer Lynch, Ph.D., Jung’s coadviser and researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) U.S. Pacific Islands Program. NIST has provided over $1.3 million for marine research at HPU. Also contributing to this rigorous, hands-on investigation were researchers from NOAA and HPU including College of Natural and Computational Sciences Dean Brenda Jensen, Ph.D., oceanography professor David Hyrenbach, Ph.D., and chemistry professor David Horgen, Ph.D. “This is just the latest of the great work collecting data on contaminants in Hawai‘i’s marine species,” says Jensen. “And all of this work has involved HPU students.”

PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS HPU PARTNERS WITH CHEF SAM CHOY AND ARAMARK In a partnership with Hawai‘i’s famed local chef, Sam Choy, and food services provider, Aramark, Hawai‘i Pacific University is developing a new student dining facility at Aloha Tower Marketplace. The Fresh Food Company residential dining platform by Aramark will be introduced, and Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine—popularized by Chef Choy—will be highlighted. Aramark, Chef Choy and HPU will work together on the menu.

Visitors will also be welcome to enjoy the waterfront dining option, which is scheduled to open in fall 2018.

OUR NEW LOGO

In a partnership with cultural icon Sig Zane, HPU is celebrating the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our story.

As part of that new chapter, the new logo accompanies an overall rebranding of HPU, reflecting our core mission, values, and long-standing and deep ties to the ‘aina (land) and local culture.

The new logo is truly reflective of our institution and our ties to Hawai‘i.

Through Esports, the University is committed to helping a generation of students who thrive in a digital environment build valuable career skills, such as time management, a competitive mindset, creativity, teamwork, and leadership. Additionally, Esports gives students an opportunity to engage with other students on campus.

“HPU is proud to be among innovative, forward-thinking institutions as an early adopter of Esports, a promising program in higher education,” John Gotanda, HPU president, said.

The Esports Arena at Aloha Tower Marketplace is made possible with the support from main sponsor D. Suehiro Electric, Inc.
