Jan Javinar<\/b> has joined the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>—West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> as its new vice chancellor for student affairs.<\/p>\n

The former director of student life and development at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a>, Javinar has held leadership positions in student affairs administration and management for over 29 years. He spent the last 24 years overseeing student life, student activities and college union administration.<\/p>\n

Since admitting its first freshmen class in fall 2007, UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> has more than doubled its student population with enrollment increasing from 980 students in fall 2007 to over 2,000 students in fall 2012 when the new Kapolei campus opened.<\/p>\n

“In addition to increasing enrollment, it is also crucial for UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> to increase student retention and success rates,” said UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> Chancellor Gene Awakuni<\/strong>. “For that reason, it’s important that the Office of Student Affairs be led by a strong vice chancellor who will provide clear direction and possess the management expertise required to address these important issues.<\/p>\n

“Jan has been instrumental in designing and implementing leadership opportunities and activities that promote students’ co-curricular and out-of-classroom learning experiences, which can be significant as part of one’s college experience,” said Awakuni.<\/p>\n

Javinar is a graduate of UH<\/abbr> Mānoa, earning a bachelor’s degree in education, and a master’s degree and doctorate in education administration.<\/p>\n

“I’m very excited to be joining the UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> faculty and staff to help in creating a campus community that everyone can be proud of,” said Javinar. “I believe strongly that a college education has afforded me so many opportunities, both personally and professionally, and this gives me the chance to share that passion with the next generation of young leaders.”<\/p>\n
