Awaken! Come together! Join hands!
The Makahiki Season in Hawaiʻi is marked by the rising of the Makaliʻi (Pleiades star cluster) on the horizon at sunset. This is the time of Lono when we reflect and renew – re-energize! It is also the time of celebrating our pilina/relations giving thanks for the cordage that binds us as ʻohana/family. I am deeply grateful for the joy that you bring to the lives of our students and for the many life lessons we, as the UH West Oʻahu ʻohana, have experienced together!
Every project, big or small, leads to new experiences and teaching moments that enable us to continue to do what we love– and for that we are so grateful. (Gratitude Statement)
E mālama pono!
Maenette Benham, Chancellor

Update from the UH West Oʻahu’s Pueo Stewardship Task Force: Reframing & Budgeting
The members of the Task Force have diligently worked for the last five weeks determining cost efficiency and revenue generating investment recommendations for Fiscal Years (FY) 21-24.
They are preparing to survey the campus community regarding their recommendations for FY’s 22-24 Cost Efficiency [CE] and Revenue Generating Investment [RGI]. The survey will assist the Task Force to complete their final report/recommendations for campus leadership. A note from the Task Force: Due to the projected budget shortfalls expected in each year (FY22, 23, and 24) of $2.7-2.8 million, the campus leadership may institute a list of their own CE and RGI recommendations to ensure that UH West Oʻahu is prepared for the upcoming system budget discussions.
