Varner Student Support Fund
Dr. Gary Varner was a brilliant scientist and a dedicated mentor whose work transformed experimental particle physics and inspired generations of students. His innovations in instrumentation and electronics powered groundbreaking projects such as the SuperKEKB/Belle II experiment in Japan and the ANITA project in Antarctica, while his guidance shaped careers across the globe.
Gary’s commitment to teaching and collaboration left an indelible mark on the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UH Mānoa. He believed deeply in nurturing talent and advancing knowledge, a vision we seek to continue through the Varner Graduate Award.
This award will support graduate students in physics, fostering the same spirit of discovery and mentorship that defined Gary’s career. Your contribution sustains a legacy of excellence and ensures future scientists have the resources to innovate and thrive.
Join us in honoring Gary’s life and impact by supporting the Varner Student Support Fund.
Your generosity makes a lasting impact on our students, faculty, and community. Join us in supporting this important work.
