Congratulations to University of Hawai'i Sea Grant College Program's Darren Lerner on being named 2026 Governor Josh Green's State Manager of the Year! What a well-deserved honor.

Darren was recognized for his transformational leadership and the impact of his work across Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. He has overseen more than $100 million in externally funded projects focused on strengthening the resilience of our coastal ecosystems and communities, while advancing critical research, education and community partnerships.

I’m also incredibly proud that UH was represented in all three award categories, with Darsh Davé of Kapiʻolani Community College as our Employee of the Year nominee and the Hawaiʻi Papa o ke Ao Native Hawaiian Place of Learning Advancement Office as our Team of the Year nominee.

I was hoping for a UH clean sweep, but what an impressive showing for our university! Congratulations to Darren, Darsh and the Hawaiʻi Papa o ke Ao team, and mahalo for the outstanding work you do for UH and Hawaiʻi.

College athletics is at a crossroads, and Hawaiʻi has a lot at stake. That is why I support passage of the Protect College Sports Act and its goal of bringing greater stability, fairness, and long-term opportunity to student-athletes and institutions nationwide.

At the University of Hawai‘i System, student-athletes do far more than compete. They represent our islands with pride, pursue academic excellence, serve as role models, and strengthen the connection between our campuses and communities.

As the national landscape continues to shift, we need a framework that provides stability, fairness, and long-term opportunity—not only for the highest-profile programs, but for the broad-based sports that create pathways for students across the country.

For these reasons, UH strongly adds our voice to the Mountain West Conference’s support for the Protect College Sports Act and its goal of creating a national framework for the future of college sports.

I urge our state congressional delegation to vote in support of this measure to help protect student-athletes, preserve access to athletic opportunities, and sustain the values that make college sports meaningful.

I was fortunate last week to speak on a panel at the Hawaii Government Employees Association (HGEA)'s convention at the Sheraton Waikiki. Moderated by Jaret KC Leong, MPA, our panel, with Vassilis Syrmos and Matt Elliott, addressed challenges facing the workforce at the University of Hawai‘i System and our plans to address them. UH is fortunate to have 2,760 dedicated HGEA employees with 169 unique job titles show up each and every day for our students and our communities. Thanks to Randy Perreira for the opportunity to share and to all of HGEA for the partnership in advancing the wellbeing of our employees.

Congratulations to all involved in the grand opening of The Deaf History Museum at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Hamilton Library. I had the pleasure of attending the kick off ceremony this morning, where the audience heard and watched a stirring lecture and sign language artistic performances. I’m excited that our new museum will bring public visibility to the language, experiences, and contributions of Hawai’i’s Deaf community. Make time for a visit!

Another productive monthly leadership retreat with our chancellors and vice presidents.

We covered a lot of ground on Friday, including beginning the work to modernize UH’s human resources system; identifying meaningful metrics for our strategic plan so we can measure progress and hold ourselves accountable; and, with guidance from EAB, tackling an important question: How do we realistically turn our priorities into action across a 10-campus system?

These conversations are about moving from strategy to ex*****on, and making sure we are focused on the work that will have the greatest impact for our students, our university and Hawaiʻi.

The Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex was rocking last night! What an atmosphere, and what a great way for our Hawaii Rainbow Warriors Football team to pick up their first win of the season.

One of my favorite moments was watching our first-year students run onto the field with the team. What an incredible experience and a memory I know they’ll never forget.

Congratulations to the team, and mahalo to everyone who came out and brought the energy. Let’s !

Welcome back to all of our faculty, staff and students! Phoebe and I had a wonderful time meeting everyone at the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Welina Mānoa event, and we loved seeing our come together to celebrate the new fall term.

Wishing all 10 of our campuses and learning centers an amazing year ahead!

The wonderful thing about sports and University of Hawaii Athletics is that they bring people and our state together. Although the football home opener yesterday against UNLV did not turn out as we hoped, it still was a great afternoon of fellowship, conversation, and strong support for our student-athletes. It was especially fun for me as I got to bring my dad to the box for the first time!

There’s no doubt that it’s more fun to win, but we mean it when we say we are proud of our young men and women whether we win or lose. Our team is Hawai’i’s team. Let’s !

The ’Bows are back in town! Nothing beats the electric energy of game day in Mānoa. Huge mahalo to the University of Hawaii at Manoa Band and Cheerleaders for joining us on this morning's shoot to help hype up tomorrow's game! I'm beyond excited to kick off our home opener and hear a packed Clarence T. C. Ching Athletics Complex bring the noise. Thank you for your incredible support of Our Team, Hawaiʻi’s Team. !

It was an honor to join the University of Hawaii at Manoa ʻohana yesterday for E Liliʻu Ē, celebrating the birthday, life and enduring legacy of Queen Liliʻuokalani.

From the morning lei ceremony to learning more about her remarkable life and contributions to Hawaiʻi, it was a meaningful way to begin Hawaiian History Month and reflect on the Queen’s lasting impact on our islands and our university.

Mahalo to everyone who helped make this special celebration possible.
