Great Opportunity for Lecturers

Once again, the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly (UHPA), your union, wants to support professional development for lecturers. Toward this end funds are being allocated for a limited number of grants to cover the tuition and select transportation costs for this summer's Hawaii Great Teachers (HGT) Seminar to be held at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Lecturers who are not receiving grants from their home campus and who are UHPA members are eligible to apply.  Lecturers who taught 8+ credits in the previous fall or current spring semester may also apply.  If you are not an UHPA member, you may join now to be eligible.

To apply for the grant, please submit a statement of not more than one page, indicating your reasons for wanting to attend the HGT seminar.  You should email your request to kathy@uhpa.org by May 30, 2008 or drop a copy off at our offices at 1017 Palm Drive. Upon completion of the HGT seminar, a brief report should be submitted to UHPA.  For more information on the HGT seminar, go to http://www.GreatTeacher.hawaii.edu.
