Law School Students Begin
New Tradition
The incoming School of Law students were the first to take a new "Law Student’s
Pledge," which was administered by Chief Justice Ronald Moon on August
21. The pledge was written by law professor Chris Iijima as part of a broader
program on professionalism.
"We hear more and more that professional values have been eroded. Accountants,
business executives and politicians are questioned about their moral compass.
We want our new law students to learn from day one that our profession values
honesty, civility and the pursuit of justice," said Law School Dean Larry
Foster. To read the pledge go to the press
release.

Health
Services Receives Accreditation
The University Health Services Manoa (UHSM) received accreditation for a full
three-year period, from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health
Care. AAAHC is one of the two major health care accrediting organizations in
the country. The association grants accreditation for six months, one year or
three years, with the three-year period indicating confidence in the organization’s
ability to maintain a high standard of quality without constant monitoring.
UHSM achieved a three-year accreditation on its first attempt.
Faculty, staff, and students who receive service at UHSM are pleased with their
care. In a recent patient evaluation survey, over 98 percent of patients said
they would recommend the health service to a friend, and on UH Manoa student
satisfaction surveys the health service has consistently received the highest
scores for campus student services. Full story

Search Begins for Dean
of School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene
Members of the search committee for the dean of the UH Manoa School of Nursing
and Dental Hygiene have been appointed. The committee is chaired by Kem Lowry,
professor of urban and regional planning. The new dean will be a successor to

Medicine at the School of Medicine.
"The committee will be looking for candidates who can build on the progress
the School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene has made in the past several years
under Dean Harrigan," Lowry said. "The university’s nursing and
