Please invite your alumni to bring a sandwich and join us on Thursday, Feb. 9th. Our speaker will be Hawaii Pacific University’s new President, John Gotanda. He’ll tell us about his vision for HPU, and answer our questions on important issues like the transition to Aloha Tower Marketplace, the sale of the Windward Oahu campus, the growing level of competition among private colleges, and more.
 
Born and raised in Hawai‘i, President Gotanda is a graduate of Roosevelt High School, the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa (BBA, 1984) and the William S. Richardson School of Law (J.D., 1987), where he was Editor-in-Chief of the University of Hawai‘i Law Review.

Following law school, John was a staff attorney with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
