UH Manoa Chancellor’s Citation for Meritorious Teaching
Manoa’s Meritorious Teachers
Charles Fletcher
Geology and Geophysics
Charles Fletcher is the associate dean for academic affairs at the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology and a professor in the geology and geophysics department. His courses range from introductory geology to advanced classes in Quaternary geology to global change.
Fletcher’s impact is far-reaching—mentoring students, publishing scholarly works and textbooks, and educating community members and government agencies on coastal management and climate change. In Fletcher’s view, the learning process is unique—social through interaction, analytic through problem-solving and spatial/visual through illustrations.
“This education is not measured in grades or doled out by semester. These are gifts from a lifelong teacher who endeavors to improve the lives of his students each and every day regardless of venue or schedule,” says one student.
