More-affordable legacies at UH and more in the news

The University of Hawaiʻi Foundation is now offering a more affordable option for donors who may want to have a University of Hawaiʻi community college facility or room named for them.

A “Five-Year Naming” program designed particularly for local companies and business leaders allows naming options for five years at a much lower amount than what is required to have a building named in perpetuity.

Read more about the new program in the September 2012 issue of Hawaii Business.
