University of Hawai‘i Retirees ‘Ohana

2024-2025

The University of Hawaiʻi Retirees ʻOhana fosters the intellectual and social interests of its members and provides service to the University. Formerly known as the Faculty Retirees Association, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, the group changed its name to emphasize that faculty and staff retirees and their spouses and partners from all UH campuses are welcome to join.
