Regents Propose New Logo Process, Appoint New Chair

The UH Board of Regents heard subcommittee recommendations last Friday, regarding UH system logo and branding efforts. The subcommittee proposed that the university work with the Hawai'i chapter of AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) to develop a process that would encourage the use of professional, local designers or design firms and pay for the project with money from logo merchandise sales instead of tax dollars. The recommendation is expected to be voted on at the September BOR meeting. Read the press release for more details.

In other action, the regents elected Patricia Lee to serve as chair and Kitty Lagareta to serve as vice chair, effective immediately.

The regents also acknowledged receipt of research and training grants totaling nearly $25 million for the one-month period ending June 15, bringing the year-to-date total to more than $300 million for the first time.
In addition the BOR approved several degree programs and certificates.
