Getting Involved

Getting Involved

There are many ways to get involved as a JABSOM faculty member. Getting involved allows you to build connections with others, participate in projects and committees you are passionate about, as well as give back to our community.

JABSOM Standing Committees

Please look for call for nominations to serve on faculty committees from your department. If you are interested in serving on a committee, please consult with your department chair first to ensure that you meet the requirements and time commitment.

UH Manoa Faculty Senate

The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Faculty Congress is composed of all UH Mānoa faculty members who serve the University at least half-time. The Senate is an elected representative body that may act for Congress on matters of shared governance. The Senate consists of 10 Senate Committees and other non-Senate committees that review and refer policy matters to the SEC, Senate, and Congress.
