Aloha,
As the year draws to a close, I want to personally thank you for your support of UH. Your generosity and foresight ensure that we can continue providing access to opportunity for students from all walks of life, empowering them to transform their futures through education. Your gifts also ensure that our rich array of programs — and research that matters most to our community — remain strong.
Thank you for all you do every day to make our UH community better!
I wish you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a prosperous new year.
Warm regards,
Mahalo,
Tim Dolan
University Of Hawai‘i Foundation CEO
