Chancellor’s Message
September 26, 2003
Aloha and Welcome to Fall 2003. The opening of an academic year is truly a celebration. It marks new beginnings for all of us — students, faculty and staff — and new beginnings bring excitement and optimism.
At University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, our tradition is to celebrate the opening of the academic year with Fall Convocation.

It is also a time to welcome newcomers to our ‘ohana.
