About Chaminade

At Chaminade University, we develop the whole student (mind, body and spirit). We encourage students to think deeper, to re-imagine, to question and to push the limits. We offer an experiential learning experience and a generous financial aid program, with nearly $12 million awarded to more than 95% of our undergraduate students. There are five degree-granting Schools and Divisions offering world-class academic programs.

We’re not happy with the status quo, the “way things are,” or just making do. We seek to create an inclusive and thought-provoking academic community where ideas are nurtured and learning is about pursuing your passion.

Chaminade University is governed by the Board of Regents and Board of Governors and directed by academic and administrative leaders who include the President, Provost, Deans and Vice Presidents. It’s the commitment of our leaders that ensure the fulfillment of our mission, uphold our core values and manage our operations and academic affairs.

The Facilities Department strives to maintain our top-notch facilities for students, faculty, staff and visitors to support the pursuit of excellence in institutional academics and community objectives.

From 1982-2012, biology professor, Associate Provost and Director of Native Hawaiian Partnerships, Henry Halenani Gomes, greatly added to the cultural value to the campus by increasing the number of native Hawaiian plants to be found, especially through the generous collaboration of Rick Kaponowaiwaiola Barboza, co-founder of Hui Ku Maoli Ola. With that, Chaminade began to document as many of these plants as possible.
