We honor those in the present and those who will come after us by demonstrating our commitment to representing the Queen, and ensuring that our words and actions are pono (goodness, fair, just), transparent, and carried out with integrity and respect. We promise to listen and make decisions and recommendations that will enhance and advance our College and the campus community.

The Senate consists of 16 senators, elected to represent the voices and perspectives of their departments/programs/units. If you have any relevant concerns, issues, or requests, please contact your Senator today.

We look forward to hearing from you! Mahalo, The 2023-2024 Faculty Senate Team

Individuals who submit an Action Request will be informed of the outcome of their request. Should an Action Request be forwarded to the Faculty Senate for discussion, the individual who submitted the Action Request will be contacted by the Executive Committee to be present at the Faculty Senate meeting during which the Action Request will be discussed and reviewed.  This will enhance understanding and transparency for all members regarding the context and issues that are referenced and involved in the Action Request that is submitted.
