HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific University (HPU) is a private university in downtown Honolulu, Makapuʻu and Kāneʻohe, [[Hawaii|HawaiШаблон:Okinai]]. Oceanic Institute of HPU, an aquaculture research facility, is located at MakapuШаблон:Okinau Point. HPU is also present on military installations on the island of [[Oahu|OШаблон:Okinaahu]].

History

HPU was founded in 1965 as HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific College by Paul C.T. Loo, Eureka Forbes, Elizabeth W. Kellerman, and Reverend Edmond Walker. Wanting a private liberal arts college in Honolulu, the four prominent and public-spirited citizens applied for a charter of incorporation for a not-for-profit corporation to be called HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific College. The state of HawaiШаблон:Okinai granted a charter of incorporation to HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific on September 17, 1965.[1]

In September 1966, Honolulu Christian College established in 1949 merged into HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific College, and a new charter was granted by the state of HawaiШаблон:Okinai. In 1967, James L. Meader became HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific College's first president. Meader, in consultation with community leaders, developed a comprehensive educational program.

When President Meader retired on June 30, 1968, the board of trustees elected George A. Warmer as HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific's second president. Under Warmer's leadership, the college implemented academic programs in the liberal arts and cooperative education.

In 1972, HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific College graduated seven students in its first commencement class and in the same year established a School of Business Administration. Chatt G. Wright became the founding dean of HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific's new School of Business Administration.

In 1973, the college received full accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The following years saw the creation of the English Foundations Program, offering instruction to non-native speakers of English, and the Division of Special Programs, administering off-campus instruction on various military installations on OШаблон:Okinaahu.

Warmer retired in 1976, and Chatt G. Wright became HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific's third president. Under his leadership, HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific continued to expand and develop through the 1980s. Augmenting its undergraduate program of baccalaureate and associate degrees, HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific launched a Master of Business Administration program in 1986, a Master of Science in Information Systems program in 1989, and a Master of Arts in Human Resource Management in 1991.

HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific became HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific University (HPU) in 1990.

In 1992, HawaiШаблон:Okinai Loa College, a small, independent, liberal arts college on the windward side of OШаблон:Okinaahu, merged into HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific University.

In 2004, the HPU International Vocal Ensemble made their Carnegie Hall debut where they performed Morten Lauridsen's Lux Aeterna and O Magnum Mysterium.

In 2011, President Chatt G. Wright retired and Geoffrey Bannister became HPU's fourth president.

In January 2013, the Aloha Tower Development Corporation (ATDC) consented to the university's ownership and management of the Aloha Tower Marketplace. The approvals passed by ATDC were essential to HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific's plan to move forward in redeveloping the marketplace into a mixed-use property featuring outstanding student housing, retail and dining businesses, and community gathering spaces.

HPU completed a merger to bring Oceanic Institute formally into the university in January 2014.

In June 2014, HPU held a ceremonial groundbreaking and traditional Hawaiian blessing at Aloha Tower Marketplace, marking the official start of revitalizing this iconic waterfront destination.

The $50 million Aloha Tower Marketplace revitalization project was completed in August 2015, opening to students and the community. Aloha Tower Marketplace serves as an anchor for the university's core downtown Honolulu campus, including a center for higher education and university housing integrated within a community gathering and retail space.

On July 1, 2016, John Yukio Gotanda, took office as HawaiШаблон:Okinai Pacific University's fifth president.[2] Born and raised in HawaiШаблон:Okinai, President Gotanda returned to lead HPU.
