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,

Evaluating the George W. Bush Presidency, Slideshow
Aloha `Oe conferees ~
Mahalo for sharing your mana`o during the 2009 “Evaluating the George W. Bush Presidency” conference which took place in Hilo last month from July 29-31, 2009.
Your presentations provided much insight into the different perspectives of academic analysis which collectively, provide a valuable framework for evaluating any political position at any point in time.
As the conference came to a conclusion, the dominant theme, (as it was percieved for us in the audience), was one of academic devotion to the science of politics toward a common goal of protecting the intent of our constitution.
A photo slideshow of the conference below features a few highlights – please feel free to send us any of your own photos or comments that you’d like to share online.
Mahalo a nui loa – come back soon!

UHH Conference Center Coordinates Onizuka Science Day
2009 Astronaut Ellison Onizuka Science Day
Saturday, January 24, 2009
8:00am – 3:00pm
University of Hawaii at Hilo
Hilo, Hawaii
In collaboration with the Onizuka Memorial Committee, hundreds of volunteers, exhibitors and presenters, UHH hosted the 8th annual Ellison Onizuka Science Day.
Celebrating the life and achievements of Astronuat Ellison Onizuka, who perished during the Challenger tragedy, this day is inspired by Ellison’s committment to the students of Hawaii and his passion for science and math.
Astronaut Daniel Tani offered a view from above as he shared photos and DVDs from his recent 18 months aboard the ISS (International Space Station).
Exhibits from the CSAV and marine science, together with workshops and displays from ‘Imiloa, IFA, USGS, NOAA, and the telescope community, added to the excitement of the day, but we are hoping for increased participation from the faculty as we make plans for the 10th Annual Ellison Onizuka Science Day. Please do join us!
As Chancellor Tseng watched over 600 students enraptured by science wizard, Dale Olive, she remarked on what an outstanding opportunity this day is for UHH. “It’s a time to capture the interest of these potential students and to let them know about our cutting edge science programs.” So, with that thought in mind, please do let us know if you’re interested in participating as a presenter or if you’d like to offer a hands-on workshop for students. For information, contact, Judith Fox-Goldstein at foxgolds@hawaii.edu, or call 974-7555.

8:00am – 3:00pm
University of Hawaii at Hilo
Hilo, Hawaii
This year’s Onizuka Science Day kicked off in the UHH Theatre. With the booming soundtrack of Star Trek, Final Frontier, heavy smoke, and a dazzling light effect, the Klingon Kurn, Captain of the Imperial Klingon Vessel HecK Tar, Klingon Defense Force, saluted the participants of the 8th annual event.
Chancellor Rose Tseng managed to attend despite a hectic schedule, and prior engagements at Hogwarts University.
Approximately 570 students in grades 4-12, and their parents registered to participate in the opening ceremonies featuring keynote speaker, Astronaut Barbara Morgan, who spent over 12 days in outer space aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor, and the International Space Station.
Morgan was selected as the backup candidate for the NASA Teacher in Space Program on July 19, 1985. From September 1985 to January 1986, Morgan trained with Christa McAuliffe and the Challenger crew at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Following the Challenger accident, Morgan assumed the duties of Teacher in Space Designee. http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/morgan.html
Barbara’s presentation set the stage for a day of over 21 engaging, interactive workshops with titles from “Wooly Magma Felted Earth” to “Food Safety: Growing your own Non-Circulating Hydroponic Lettuce.”
Mahalo to all of the organizers and volunteers who dedicated their resources to putting on another incredible event for the youth of the Big Island!
