University of Hawaiʻi President Wendy Hensel provided updates to the UH Board of Regents (BOR) on the UH Mānoa chancellor search and progress on the eBanner student information system transition in her monthly report during the board’s March 19 meeting.

Hensel delivered her report virtually from Portland, Oregon, where the UH Mānoa Rainbow Warriors men’s basketball team prepared to compete in the first round of the NCAA Division I Tournament.

Hensel also recognized a $1.2-million NASA-funded research project led by UH Hilo focused on coastal resilience, as well as UH Maui College’s Hale Pāpaʻi (small structures) program, which is supporting wildfire recovery efforts while providing hands-on workforce training opportunities.
