| Dear Dr.
Yamada and Friends at Honolulu University, I am writing a letter of support for HU recommending it highly. I believe that Honolulu University is a fine online university that is able to offer a quality education to students around the world. It chooses its faculty well and links them with students who are willing to learn in spite of the obstacles of online learning. I am grateful to HU for giving me the experience of teaching in distance education. I am presently a distance education specialist at the University of Hawaii at Hilo who is responsible for training faculty, staff and student in online teaching and learning, enrolling, assisting, and giving advice on distance education. If not for HU, I would not be here. I like to consider myself a lifelong faculty member of HU and pray for the school's success. Lynne Fukuda Distance Education Specialist University of Hawaii at Hilo |

HONOLULU UNIVERSITY, HONOLULU, HI ATTENTION: DR. ARTHUR O. YAMADA, President Please let me tell you about my association with Honolulu University. In the very beginning I worked with Dr. Warren Walker, President in helping with the incorporation papers, filed applications with the State of Hawaii and Internal Revenue Service to establish a non-profit corporation. I also worked with Dr. Happy Walker, Vice President in establishing a set of books and all of the other needed financial records. We worked together here in Los Angeles and later on, on the telephone after they relocated to Honolulu. We had many lengthy telephone conversations, because this era pre-dated e-mail. So my affiliation with Honolulu University has been about 15 years from about 1988 when Dr. Walker was in the organization process. (I did work with Dr. Walker at Golden State University commencing in 1984.) During my association with Honolulu University I have also served as an academic advisor to several students. As students earned degrees, most were rewarded with advancement in employment and remuneration enhancement. I talked to several of my students and they gave credit to their new degree for their success. My affiliation with Honolulu University as been most interesting and a very rewarding experience. Very sincerely yours, W. BOB TURNER, PHD WBT:sf |

Dear Dr. Yamada Education is a continuous and lifelong process. There are two Chinese sayings that I wish to quote: “As long as we live, we are capable of learning” and “There is no end to learning”. There are many pathways to acquiring knowledge and education, and not merely confined to the rigid classroom kind of environment. In the 1960’s or 1970’s the number of universities and colleges were very limited in this part of the world. Many of those who could not afford the tertiary education, either locally or overseas, had no alternative but to resort to studying by taking up correspondence courses with colleges or universities overseas, either in the United Kingdom or the United States. Many of them did fulfill their dreams and got their professional qualifications or degrees. Many of them also qualified as lawyers, accountants and some holding senior executive positions in commerce, banking, insurance and other industries. With advances in ICT, people can now do their degree programs through, or combinations of, distance learning, e-learning, workshops, seminars and self-study, and not forgetting the experiential learning process. This kind of learning facilities are very suitable for mid-career executives, managers or professionals who have already acquired a wealth of experiences and competencies in their respective fields. By taking up such degree programs, they do not have to leave their job, incur greater costs, opportunity costs, and loss of seniority. On the question of accreditation, it is up to the individuals to choose the university, which they think, will fit into their needs of acquiring more knowledge, for self-actualization or to perform their job better. Anyway, it is the performance and not the piece of paper qualification alone that decides your altitude. It is a very contradictory world after all. If you excel in you performance but without paper qualifications, they say you are lucky and not qualified, or because you have a godfather behind you. If you have 15 qualifications on your business card but do not perform well, they say you are a bookworm. Or, if you rose from rank and file and studied by correspondence or distance learning and acquired a string of qualifications, would your employer say that you did not spend undivided attention on your job? But if you are your own boss, nobody can say anything. So, the choice is yours! As far as non-classroom tertiary programs are concerned, Honolulu University should be congratulated and commended for its dedicated contributions and services to many aspiring individuals in many parts of the world. Lastly, as a graduate of Honolulu University, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to your good self, your faculty members and staff for the job well done. Yours truly, Foo Chow Lee PhD, DBA, DSc (h.c.), MBA, FCIM, FFA, FSBP, FIFC, MCMI, CFP, CFC, CRP, CPM |
