President Sue's Video Message
At Chaminade University we are dedicated to educating each of our students as a whole person.
Through a rich curriculum and student support services, we offer learning experiences in and out of the classroom that provide opportunities to develop personal competencies, spiritual values and professional skills. We also believe that our graduates will have much to contribute to improving their communities, and we encourage leadership development and service learning.
Our location in the Pacific bridges the cultures of West and East. The diversity of nationalities, heritages, religious beliefs and backgrounds that our students bring to Chaminade make our whole campus a lively classroom for learning about living and working in the 21st century.
With our 17-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio, students enjoy small classes and many opportunities to interact informally with faculty and staff. There are opportunities for internships and career preparation activities. A variety of on-campus student clubs, and NCAA Division II sports program and the many cultural and recreational activities in Hawaii are available to our students.
College is a special time in our students’ lives. I encourage you to take a close look at Chaminade University, and see if it is the right fit for you. Please let us know how we can help.
Warmest aloha,
Sue Wesselkamper
President
