Hauʻoli makahiki hou. I hope everyone had a nice winter break and is excited about the Spring 2024 semester. I have been appointed as the Interim Director of PUBA effective January 1 through July 31, 2024, and will then serve a 3-year appointment as Director beginning August 1, 2024. I will also continue to serve as the Graduate Chair for the time being, although this may change in the near future. As I embark on this new journey, I look forward to working with the PUBA faculty and staff, as well as the PUBA Advisory Board, to ensure we maintain the highest standards in our MPA program, the only NASPAA-accredited program in the State of Hawai’i. Mahalo!
