University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Shidler College of Business hosted its 2022 Hall of Honor Awards on Thursday, October 13, at the Sheraton Waikīkī to celebrate four distinguished business leaders and alumni. The event also raised $340,500 in support of the Shidler college.
This was the first Hall of Honor event held in-person since 2019. It was held virtually since the start of the pandemic. Honorees were selected based on their demonstration of business excellence in their professions, contributions to their community and dedication to the Shidler college.
