Hawai’i Pacific University Wins Prestigious Award

ORANGE COUNTY, CA (January 29, 2009) – Hawai'i Pacific University, a military-friendly university located in the tropical paradise of the Pacific, received the 2010 Institution Award from the Council of College and Military Educators for the significant contributions made to the cause of voluntary off-duty military education programs.

Each year, CCME chooses one university for the Institution Award. The nominee must be an institution directly involved in the support of education to the armed forces; and may only be rewarded to an institution once every five years. The Awards Committee at CCME determines the nominee.

"We're very excited about the CCME award," said Edwin Choi, representative of the Agency of Records for Hawai'i Pacific University. "We hope this award help bring awareness to HPU's outstanding education programs for online military students across the nation."

CCME awarded universities are one of the ideal choices available for military students looking for a traditional campus or online degree program. With extensive military benefits and military-tailored learning opportunities, CCME awarded universities are proud to serve the military professionals that serve our country.

About the Council of College and Military Educations

CCME, a not-for-profit organization, was founded 36 years ago to promote, encourage, and deliver quality education to service members and their families in all branches of the armed services. Its membership is principally composed of military educators, civilian educators, post-secondary educational institutions, and suppliers of quality education products and services. The CCME symposium is the largest annual forum in the country with an expected attendance of about 1000 participants. The annual symposium facilitates the networking and interaction of the key leadership across these organizations in an environment that is focused on enhancing and optimizing voluntary education opportunities for the service member and their families.
