Notice 1/21/2022

The University of Hawaii at Manoa has announced the postponement of the Dean Search. Read the news story.


The University of Hawaii at Manoa has identified three finalists for the position of dean and The Queen’s Health Systems Professorship for the Nancy Atmospera-Walch School of Nursing (NAWSON).

The three finalists are each scheduled for virtual visits over a two-day period which includes meetings with senior administrators, faculty, staff, students, and internal and external constituents, and a public presentation.

The decision to meet with the finalists virtually was made to protect the health and welfare of the UH community, community members and the general public. The candidates will participate from their home institutions with each session hosted by UH/NAWSON.

Campus and community members, as well as the general public, are encouraged to attend the public presentations. Zoom information for the public presentations may be found here.
