Hawaii Links

Center on Aging: The Center's mission is to stimulate and coordinate gerontological teaching, research, and community service and to promote collaboration between the university and other organizations in aging. Description of Certificate Programs.
Center on the Family: University of Hawai'i at Manoa's Center on the Family has created The Data Center on Hawai'i's Aging, a comprehensive collection of data and publications related to Hawai'i's aging population.
Executive Office on Aging: This site includes the EOA mission, its programs, and links to the services provided by the Area Agencies on Aging in each county. A profile of Hawai'i's Kapuna (older adults) provides excellent demographic and epidemiological information on this rapidly growing segment of the population.
Growing Old in a New Age: Introduction to a 13-hour PBS Series and telecourse on aging produced by the Center on Aging, University of Hawai'i at Manoa and funded by the Annenberg/CPB Project, Washington, DC. This site includes video clips and interactive features.
Hawai'i Pacific Gerontological Society: The goal of HPGS is to enhance the general well-being of older individuals in the State of Hawai'i and in the Pacific Islands.
The Illuminated Life: A structured life review/life enhancement program developed by Abe Arkoff, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Hawai'i at Manoa. This site provides guided life review activities and a discussion group to contact others engaged in review and exploration of their lives.
School of Public Health Library: The University of Hawai'i at Manoa School of Public Health Library site provides a review of campus library resources, links to statistical sources on health and aging, and a guide to public health resources on the Internet.
Senior Citizen Visitor Program: Although, this program at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa is not part of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, the two programs do work in concert to provide an array of intellectually stimulating lifelong learning opportunities for older persons. Unlike OLLI's educational membership program comprised of short courses and workshops that are open to all older persons for a flat $60 fee per term, the Senior Citizen Visitor Program (SCVP) provides tuition-free access to semester-long course for qualified Hawai'i residents who are at least 60 years of age. Participants in the SCVP "visit" university courses, but do not receive course credit that counts toward a degree. For more information about the SCVP, please contact Dr. Lee Putnam, Queen Lili'uokalani Center for Student Services 413, UH Manoa, or call 956-9317, or email lputnam@hawaii.edu, or visit the SCVP website.

Note: If you have a web site to include in our Hawai'i Hot Links, please e-mail your URL and a brief description of your site to dubanosk@hawaii.edu. Thanks!
