Welcome to the UH College of Education Alumni Association webpage. COEAA was established in the 1980s by a group of public school administrators who saw the need to support the efforts of the UH College of Education. Today, COEAA's leadership is made up of a cross section of educators from various perspectives of the education arena. We have a lot to share and would love to hear from you so please sign up to be a member today and become part of our growing 'ohana!

POSTED 12/05 COEAA PROMOTES MEMBERSHIP**********************************************
The College of Education Alumni Association participated in the HSTA-Oahu Teacher Institute Day last October, to promote the association and to encourage teachers to join the University of Hawai‘i Alumni Association and the College of Education Alumni Association chapter. Several teachers did join and many others inquired about programs offered by the college. Many teachers assumed that because they graduated from the University of Hawai‘i they were automatically members of the Alumni Association and were surprised to learn that membership is by enrollment, with a fifty-dollar-a-year dues payment. By joining the University Alumni Association/College of Education Chapter, members are able to participate in the chapter's governance and the UH alumni activities and special offerings including golf, tours, bookstore purchases, Kennedy Theater shows, etc.
This year's College of Education's Alumni Association leaders are President Odetta Fujimori, Vice-President Janet Ishikawa-Fullmer, Secretary Dee Ann Ling, and Treasurer Esther Shigezawa. Board members include Charlie Araki, Mona Chock, Ichiro Fukumoto, Karen Ginoza, Thelma Nip, and past-president Don Nugent. Ex-officio members are Dean Randy Hitz and Mark Fukuda. Educators and friends of education are encouraged to join the College of Education Alumni Association and to support its programs and goals. Contact Mark Fukeda at 808-956-7988 or email him at mark.fukeda@uhf.hawaii.edu for more information.
