The public events for Wendy F. Hensel, one of the two finalists for president of the University of Hawaiʻi 10-campus system, will begin Monday, September 23 and run through Wednesday, September 25 (complete schedule below).

The public events for the second finalist, Dr. Julian Vasquez Heilig will run from Monday, September 30 to Wednesday, October 2 (complete schedule below).

The finalists will each attend an open house and a moderated public forum in each of the four counties-Maui, Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi Island and Oʻahu (complete schedule below). The candidates will take questions at the forums, which will be livestreamed over Zoom and posted online afterward. Questions can be submitted in-person and online via Zoom.

"We are asking all members of the UH ʻohana and other stakeholders, along with the general public, to participate in the public events and provide feedback on our finalists," said UH Board of Regents Chair Gabriel Lee in the September 11 announcement naming the two finalists. "That input will be critical as the regents deliberate and select the next UH President."

Those who attend the forums in person can submit their questions on site. Those who watch over Zoom can submit their questions through the chat function.

Links to the google forms to provide feedback will be provided the day before the public events begin for each of the finalists. More information on Hensel and Vasquez Heilig can be found on UH News and the UH President Search website.
