A scholarship in memory of Gary Helfand<\/strong>, the professor who created the University of Â鶹´«Ã½–West<\/span> Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> justice administration program, has been established. Helfand passed away in February.<\/p>\n

He spent more than 33 years with UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu,<\/span> and served as director of the justice administration concentration<\/a>. Helfand taught courses ranging from administrative law to principles of public administration to media, violence and crime.<\/p>\n

The scholarship, which will support UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> students enrolled in the public administration program, was set up by Ross Prizzia<\/strong>, a public administration professor. He worked closely with Helfand, authoring or co-authoring journal articles and chapters in books. Prizzia said Helfand made numerous contributions to faculty, students, the UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> campus and community. <\/p>\n

The scholarship webpage states that Helfand “was an extraordinary scholar, colleague, caring friend and an outstanding mentor. He touched the lives of many and had a positive impact on everyone who knew him, those in the community, at UH, and especially students and graduates who went on to successful careers because of his teachings.”<\/p>\n

Helfand\u2019s wife, Diana, and son, Jody, are both UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> lecturers.<\/p>\n

Donations can be made through the UH<\/abbr> Foundation scholarship page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
