Island Insurance check presentationHONOLULU – The Island Insurance Foundation, the charitable arm of Island Insurance, a subsidiary of Island Holdings, Inc., donated $15,000 to Chaminade University towards renovations and upgrades of its science labs and office space for science faculty.

Over the past decade, Chaminade has transformed its Division of Natural Science and Mathematics programs with improvements like adding new lab facilities, faculty and research staff, and revamping the undergraduate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) curriculum. As a result of these positive changes, Chaminade’s Forensic Sciences program was nationally recognized in 2018 and its School of Nursing program was recently tied for first in the nation by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing based on the number of graduates who passed the National Council of Licensure Examination (NCLEX).

“Chaminade has provided quality higher education to the people of Hawaii for nearly 70 years,” said Dana Tokioka, President of the Island Insurance Foundation. “Our support will enable the university to provide even more educational opportunities for many years to come.”
“We are so grateful to the Island Insurance Foundation for this generous gift,” said Lynn Babington, Ph.D., President of Chaminade University. “The renovations and upgrades to our science labs will enhance our ability to deliver cutting-edge science education to our students.”
