Tsunoda’s
Retirement Fundraiser Supports new Endowment
The Joyce S. Tsunoda UHCC Leadership Development Endowed Fund will
enable community college faculty, staff, students and administrators
to participate in leadership training, professional development and
other education-related classes and activities. These include
seminars, fellowship programs and formal academic study. "As I prepare to retire and leave the UH system that I have known,
worked for and loved for almost 40 years, I am honored that an
endowment fund in my name will continue to help the UH community
colleges throughout the state," said Tsunoda, who has had a
distinguished career. Read

Pacific Research Center meteorology professor Shang-Ping Xie are the
subject of an article called Little Islands-Big Wake
recently published online by NASA. Using images from space, satellite technology and other
instruments, Xie and his team documented that, although
geographically tiny, the Hawaiian Islands have a large effect on
Pacific Ocean currents, clouds and winds. The discovery, originally published in the June 15, 2001 issue of
Science, gives scientists an altogether different view of
air-sea interactions and has significant implications for climate
models that are used to predict climate variations such as El Nino
and global warming. The article is a fast but engaging read, check it out at http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/Wake/.
