Susan Chandler<\/strong>, founding director of the College of Social Sciences Public Policy Center at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa, and David Chandler<\/strong>, emeritus professor in the UH<\/abbr> Mānoa Department of Sociology, have made a $14,000 gift to establish a fellowship in the study of public policy or conflict studies.<\/p>\n

With this fellowship, her legacy will live on.”<\/p>\n
