President M.R.C. Greenwood of the University of Hawai‘i just had another of her listening sessions; this one at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo.

Greenwood, President, UH; Carl Carlson, UH Regent; Barry Mizuno, UH Regent. (Not pictured: Noreen Yamane, Chancellor of HCC, who arrived shortly after photo was taken)
This picture illustrates the collaborative style that tells the community this is about all of us. UH Hilo and Hawaii Community College are being treated as part of the whole University of Hawai‘i system. Students are moving seamlessly from HCC to UHH and UH Manoa. Comments from the audience reinforced what was being said in the front of the room.
I came away with a really good feeling. The things taking place on the ground that affect our community are moving in the right direction.
