The University of Hawai‘i's Distinguished Alumni Awards

As the University of Hawai‘i�s Centennial year draws to a close, the UH Alumni Association honors its heritage by celebrating with all its Distinguished Alumni.

The 2008 Centennial Celebration with Distinguished Alumni will mark the official launch of the UHAA Endowed Scholarship Fund. With your support, we can lay a solid foundation for the next 100 years as a way to give back to our alma mater and create opportunities for future alumni to excel. We hope you will join us at our Centennial Celebration for a historic evening of University of Hawai‘i alumni pride.
