Aloha UH College of Education Alumni and Friends,

As a proud two-time College of Education (COE) 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. If you are not yet a member of our organization, please visit the University of Hawai`i Alumni Association (UHAA) website to update your contact information and choose to join the COEAA chapter. Membership is free and open to all UHM College of Education graduates, and we would love to have you join our community.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the University of Hawaii College of Education. Together, we will strive to enhance the impact of our association, support the mission of the College of Education, and make a positive difference in the field of education.

Mahalo nui loa,

Kevin Agtarap
