Fellow Alumni and Friends,

Th e University of Hawai‘i provides the highest level of learning in the State of Hawai‘i. Th roughout its 10 campuses, UH off ers unique and diverse programs to fulfi ll the needs of students seeking knowl-edge, training and hope for the future. Students not only achieve the highest levels of education, they also apply their education to make outstanding contributions to the community.

One need only look to past recipients of the UH Alumni Associa-tion Distinguished Alumni Awards to see that this is true. Last year’s honorees were no diff erent: Robert Alm ’73, who is working to move Hawai‘i toward a clean energy future as executive vice president of Hawaiian Electric Company; Frederick Choi, PhD, ’65, ’68, who has touched countless lives as dean emeritus and Distinguished Service Professor of Business at the New York University Stern School of Business; and Patrick DeLeon, PhD, ’73, known for his extensive public policy advocacy in the healthcare fi eld, who served as Senator Daniel Inouye’s chief of staff for more than 38 years.

We now look forward to honoring a new group of outstanding UH alumni on May 14, 2013, at our annual Distinguished Alumni Awards event. We are now seeking nominations for this year’s award.

UHAA invites you to nominate alumni from any of the 10 Univer-sity of Hawai‘i System campuses, whose achievements you feel merit consideration for this prestigious UH alumni honor.
