Celebrating the Tseng Legacy
Chancellor Tseng’s 12-year tenure at UH Hilo represents the pinnacle of a distinguished career in higher education. The first Asian female to head a four-year university in the U.S., Rose brought a vision to UH Hilo developed by three decades as an educator and administrator in Silicon Valley.
Under her leadership, UH Hilo has experienced a period of unprecedented growth, transforming the campus from a small undergraduate liberal arts college into a comprehensive university with a reach that extends far beyond Hawai`i. The University and Big Island community salute Rose Tseng for her extraordinary legacy.
Tseng Endowment
As she steps down, Rose and her husband Ray are making a generous donation of $100,000 to launch the Rose and Raymond Tseng Distinguished Lecture Series Endowment at UH Hilo. The Tseng Lecture Series will invite prominent international leaders to deliver presentations on topics that perpetuate Rose’s legacy, including international women’s leadership, global technology and entrepreneurship, integration of science and technology, and indigenous language/culture issues.
UH Hilo’s premier public reception space, Ho’oulu Terrace, will be renamed The Rose and Raymond Tseng Terrace to commemorate the Tsengs’ role in UH Hilo’s growth and their many contributions to the greater community.
Continuing the Legacy
UH Hilo welcomes additional donations to the Rose and Raymond Tseng Distinguished Lecture Series Endowment. To make a tax-deductible contribution in honor of the Tseng legacy,
