Chancellor Tseng was among the honorees as the Lamda Psi Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, the nation’s most prestigious business fraternity, held its 19th Annual Initiation and Recognition Banquet earlier this month at UH Hilo.

The chancellor and Mitzi Hennessey, secretary to the dean at the College of Business and Economics, were honored with the 2008 Hall of Fame Award for dedication to the chapter and service to the university and Hilo communities.

Carole Miura, emerita professor of mathematics, was presented the 2008 Outstanding Professor of the Year Award. Professor Miura retired this spring after 35 years of teaching business mathematics. She was UH Hilo’s first director of institutional research and was responsible for installing the university’s first four-year student tracking system.

Neil Nakaza was recognized with the Hawai‘i Alumni Chapter’s Outstanding Alumni Award by President Karolina Siriah for his continual support of the chapter by attending all of its fundraising and social events.

Lambda Psi also welcomed its newest faculty initiate, Kimberly Furumo, into the chapter. Furumo is a professor of management information systems at the business college.
