2008 Spring Commencement Testimonial from Chancellor Rose Tseng

Aloha,

I’d like to express my sincere appreciation for all the hard work and dedication by UH Hilo’s ohana for another beautiful and memorable commencement exercise. I think that President McClain, Regents Dahilig and Hapai, and keynote speaker Connie Lau were impressed with the aloha and joy we share with the students and their accomplishments that day.

I’d especially like to recognize Judith Fox-Goldstein and the staff of the Conference Center for their many months of work to coordinate this event. It takes months and a lot of hours to make sure every detail is planned and taken care of.

With so much involvement by so many, UH Hilo’s commencement exercise went very well.

Please know that everyone appreciates the memorable ceremony and your efforts. Mahalo to all for your kokua!
