COE Alumni Association

Aloha UH College of Education Alumni and Friends,

As a proud graduate and passionate advocate for education, I am thrilled to have the opportunity
to lead this incredible community of dedicated educators, scholars, and supporters. Our College
has a proud history of preparing educators and leaders who make significant contributions to
their communities, both locally and globally. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to past
president Jan Iwase, the association’s officers, and the Board of Directors for their dedication
and efforts in shaping this organization into what it is today.

I look forward to continuing this work by fostering strong connections among our alumni,
providing valuable resources and opportunities for professional growth, and celebrating the
achievements of our remarkable community. The COEAA will continue to support the
Distinguished Alumni Award program, which honors alumni who have made outstanding
contributions to the education profession and community. The association will continue to focus
on strengthening connections with alumni across the islands and beyond through alumni profiles,
shedding light on our graduates' diverse and impactful journeys.

Additionally, the COEAA will continue to allocate funds to award scholarships to deserving
students enrolled in the College of Education. We will explore new ways to raise funds to
support these scholarships and other important programs that enhance the educational experience
for our students. In partnership with the UH College of Education, we will work on fundraising
efforts and organize events that bring our community together, fostering a spirit of collaboration
and mutual support.

As the current president of the College of Education Alumni Association, I am committed to
ensuring our alumni feel valued and supported. I encourage all alumni to stay connected with us.
