“Here¡¯s to a semester grounded in curiosity, care and collective progress.”
University of Hawai?i President Wendy Hensel will share the progress across UH¡¯s 10 campuses, key challenges and priorities for the year to come.
The U.S. Department of Education intends to halt what it describes as “race-based conditions when allocating taxpayer funding.”
“As the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to pause and reflect and express my heartfelt mahalo.”
President Hensel also highlighted food aid efforts and student information dashboard updates.
“We understand how stressful and uncertain this time has been and remain committed to doing everything we can to support those affected.”
Students will be allowed to register for spring 2026 classes even if they have an unpaid balance from the fall 2025 semester.
The multi-year effort to create a unified, fully articulated general education curriculum across the 10 campuses is aimed at improving transfer, reducing barriers and enhancing student success.
Hensel outlined the university¡¯s strategy to safeguard mission-critical programs and maintain student services during the shutdown.
