This week’s UH News Images of the Week: UH Mānoa’s Colin Macdonald.
Macdonald arrived at UH Mānoa as a student in 1978, and retired in December 2025 as director of web operations in the provost’s office. During his time at UH, he instituted the first multimedia courses in the then Department of Communication, where he taught multimedia design and development, and was a core faculty member of Pacific New Media. Through a number of reorganizations, Macdonald worked in UH Mānoa and UH System offices on a wide variety of projects, programs and services often alongside his former students. At the time of his retirement, the views on webpages, graphics and documents he built, designed and maintained numbered in the millions.
Mahalo, Colin!
