"The only public institution of higher education in Hawai‘i, the University of Hawai‘i’s 10-campus System serves students from an unparalleled variety of nationalities, ethnicities, ages, beliefs, and backgrounds. Combining excellence with access, UH introduces students to premier faculty and research that defines the frontiers of knowledge—all in a natural setting of stunning beauty.
"UH is celebrating its centennial in 2007–08. As we look forward to the next 100 years, we’re guided by our strategic plan, firmly grounded in Native Hawaiian values. These include the notion of ahupua‘a—from the mountains to the sea, sharing our finite resources for the benefit of all. As a Pacific-Asian university, we emphasize Hawai‘i’s uniqueness as a Polynesian island society, and articulate the values of community and respect that island societies have to offer an increasingly interdependent world.
"Please do visit the UH campus websites and consider a visit in person. An education at the University of Hawai‘i will transform your life, promote your success, and prepare you to change the world."
—David McClain, President
