Dean’s Message<br />
Aloha<br />
Dean Emeritus Chuck Gee, Ambassador Bill Lane, PATA<br />
President Peter de Jong, Dean Walter Jamieson<br />
I first wish to sincerely<br />
thank everyone who participated<br />
in the <strong>TIM</strong> <strong>Night</strong><br />
event and in the donor<br />
recognition evening on the<br />
following day. These were<br />
truly splendid events.<br />
As many <strong>of</strong> you are aware,<br />
not only were we celebrating<br />
our 40th anniversary,<br />
we also combined both the<br />
traditional <strong>TIM</strong> <strong>Night</strong> and<br />
the Legacy in Tourism evening<br />
into one event. The<br />
students were responsible<br />
<strong>for</strong> the design <strong>of</strong> the program<br />
and held important<br />
leadership positions in all<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> the planning and<br />
management <strong>of</strong> the event.<br />
This was done within the<br />
context <strong>of</strong> a course very<br />
ably led by Lee-Ann Choy.<br />
Sincere congratulations to<br />
all <strong>of</strong> the students <strong>for</strong> their<br />
incredible work. Special<br />
thanks to Lee-Ann <strong>for</strong> her<br />
leadership and dedication.<br />
We obviously are indebted<br />
to all <strong>of</strong> the companies and<br />
individuals who bought<br />
tables and contributed<br />
gifts <strong>for</strong> the silent auction.<br />
The proceeds will be used<br />
to help augment the<br />
school's resources in the<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> scholarships, and<br />
in continuing to upgrade<br />
the infrastructure <strong>of</strong> the<br />
school. Without this kind<br />
<strong>of</strong> community support it<br />
would be very difficult <strong>for</strong><br />
us to provide a positive<br />
and enriched student experience,<br />
which in turn<br />
benefits the industry.<br />
We were privileged to have<br />
many people who traveled<br />
some distance to be part <strong>of</strong><br />
our anniversary. We were<br />
honored that Peter de<br />
Jong, President and CEO<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Pacific Asia <strong>Travel</strong><br />
Association, was able to be<br />
present at a number <strong>of</strong><br />
events in Hawaii. Mahalo<br />
Peter, <strong>for</strong> spending a week<br />
with us. And mahalo to<br />
the Marriott International<br />
<strong>for</strong> providing Peter with<br />
his accommodation.<br />
We were all very excited<br />
about the presence <strong>of</strong> Ambassador<br />
Bill Lane who<br />
attended all <strong>of</strong> our events<br />
over the week. As somebody<br />
who has played a<br />
very important role in<br />
various aspects <strong>of</strong> our<br />
school his presence was<br />
PATA Awarded Lifetime Service Award<br />
The <strong>TIM</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
has been <strong>for</strong>tunate<br />
to have<br />
had many<br />
strong supporters<br />
throughout<br />
its 40-year history.<br />
A number<br />
<strong>of</strong> individuals<br />
and organizations<br />
have been<br />
responsible <strong>for</strong><br />
its establishment<br />
and continued<br />
success. It is<br />
only with this support<br />
that the <strong>School</strong> has been<br />
able to evolve into one <strong>of</strong><br />
the leaders in the industry.<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> these individuals<br />
and organizations<br />
have been recognized in<br />
the past.<br />
In this important anniversary<br />
year we were happy<br />
to recognize the lifetime<br />
contributions <strong>of</strong> the Pacific<br />
Asia <strong>Travel</strong> Association<br />
(PATA). Not only<br />
most welcome. We were<br />
humbled by his very generous<br />
donation that he<br />
announced at the donor<br />
recognition night on October<br />
24.<br />
We were very happy to see<br />
a strong contingent from<br />
the University <strong>of</strong> Hawaii<br />
system including the President,<br />
the Chancellor <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Manoa campus, vice presidents,<br />
chancellors <strong>of</strong> other<br />
campuses and colleagues.<br />
We very much look <strong>for</strong>ward<br />
to the opportunity <strong>of</strong><br />
working together with all<br />
<strong>of</strong> them over the coming<br />
years, especially if the University<br />
<strong>of</strong> Hawaii Hospitality<br />
and Tourism Institute<br />
that has been recommended<br />
<strong>for</strong> funding by the<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Regents is supported<br />
by the legislature.<br />
Many thanks to all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
alumni who actively solicited<br />
gifts <strong>for</strong> the silent auction.<br />
With best regards,<br />
Walter<br />
was the organization important<br />
to the founding <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>School</strong> but it has continued<br />
to support the<br />
<strong>School</strong> in many ways,<br />
most recently in providing<br />
scholarships <strong>for</strong> the<br />
EDIT certificate program.<br />
We look <strong>for</strong>ward to our<br />
continued partnership<br />
with PATA here in Hawaii<br />
as well as in the Asia-<br />
Pacific region. Congratulations<br />
PATA!

Reflections <strong>of</strong> <strong>TIM</strong> <strong>Night</strong> by <strong>TIM</strong> Student Marc Koga<br />
Sean Tanabe, Marc Koga, Kuulei Martin,<br />
Michelle Perlas-Neri, Alex Teng, Kathy Lam<br />
As a <strong>TIM</strong> student <strong>for</strong> the past two years,<br />
coordinating <strong>TIM</strong> <strong>Night</strong> has definitely<br />
been the highlight <strong>of</strong> my college experi-<br />

ence. I will take with me more<br />
than memories, but actual management<br />
and leadership skills<br />
that will help me in the real<br />
world.<br />
Learning to manage my time,<br />
work with my peers, and working<br />
with industry pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
on an event <strong>of</strong> this scope, gives<br />
me invaluable experience that I<br />
could not have learned strictly in<br />
a classroom setting. I have<br />
gained new perspective that only<br />
comes from investing numerous<br />
hours and labor to make this<br />
event a success.<br />
Working so closely with my classmates<br />
has enriched my learning experience. I<br />
P A G E 3<br />
take with me memories <strong>of</strong> long evenings<br />
spent in the student Club room,<br />
my classmates and I walking down the<br />
halls <strong>of</strong> George Hall with our iPod earphones<br />
blasting “To Brazil” as we practiced<br />
our showstopper, dressing up as<br />
Julius Caesar…. We have created<br />
friendships that we will continue long<br />
past our time here at the <strong>TIM</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
As a senior, I regret that we didn’t have<br />
more time to get to know each other<br />
sooner.<br />
I have also learned that despite all <strong>of</strong><br />
the hard work planning an event entails,<br />
I have found that this is what I<br />
truly enjoy doing and hope to make a<br />
career <strong>of</strong> someday.<br />
Mahalo to the <strong>TIM</strong> <strong>Night</strong> students who put in countless hours <strong>of</strong> tears,<br />
laughter and sweat, to pull <strong>of</strong>f <strong>TIM</strong> <strong>Night</strong>!<br />
