Fellow Alumni and Friends,

We seek your help in honoring the University of Hawai‘i’s most distinguished alumni. We look forward to honoring a new group of outstanding UH alumni at our annual Distinguished Alumni Awards event. We ask you to nominate someone you know who exemplifies and fulfills this honor for this year’s award.
