Award-winning UH Hilo student affairs staff: Leonard Woods, Susan Shirachi, Malia Callo, Hoʻoleina Ioane, Keani Santa-Isabel

Five staff members have received special recognition at an annual event held earlier this month by the Division of Student Affairs (DSA) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.

The STAR Awards recognize outstanding staff who render exceptional service to students, faculty, staff and others in the UH Hilo community, and thus contribute to the mission to support student success. Nominations are made by peers to honor those who are exceptionally reliable, inspirational, energetic and full of ideas.

“The honorees are representative of the dedicated and hardworking staff in the Division of Student Affairs and are well deserving of the recognition,” says Gail Makuakāne-Lundin, interim vice chancellor for student affairs.
