Behind the Logo Redesign: Prof. Chae Ho Lee & the Graphic Design Workshop Students
In our last post, we shared the new LIS logo, which serves as a visual identity for the Program, bringing together faculty, alumni, and current students, while also drawing in potential students at first glance. The final design was created by Graphic Design student Jana Sasaki under 听(photo from the Art Dept. faculty page, linked). However, we would also like to recognize all of the students for their hard work and final submissions and presentations this semester:

Thank you all, especially Professor Lee who guided the process for both students and our LIS Logo Committee members. Here is a little more about the Graphic Design workshop and the broader program, provided by Professor Lee:The Design Area within the Department of Art and Art History at 糖心视频M offers eight courses that span the 200, 300, and 400 levels, the design area currently also offers undergraduate students 鈥 pursuing either a b.a. or a b.f.a. 鈥 a comprehensive education that integrates the theory, history, and practice of graphic design. Advanced students in the area have the option of participating in the graphic design workshop 鈥 a special studio committed to providing high-quality graphic design work for non-profit organizations in Hawai鈥榠. Projects that the workshop has undertaken include an annual report for the state of Hawai鈥榠 environmental council as well as visual identities for the 糖心视频 school of architecture, Hawai鈥榠 Nature Center, Hawai鈥榠 State Long-term Care Ombudsman, Hawai鈥榠 Labor Relations Board and Health and Stranding Lab [among others].The design area at the University of Hawai鈥榠 has been recognized internationally, nationally and locally for its excellence in graphic design. Design work from students and graduates have been exhibited internationally and nationally by the AIGA, The Type Director鈥檚听Club, The Art Director鈥檚 Club, Print magazine, and How magazine. Locally, students from the design area have repeatedly won awards from the Honolulu chapter of the AIGA and the Hawai鈥榠 chapter of the American Advertising Federation. Students who have wished to work professionally have taken leadership roles in the graphic design and advertising community and have secured design positions locally and nationally at Walt Disney, Martha Stewart Omnimedia, MYV networks, and the Asia Society.听
Professor Lee and his Graphic Design workshop students, we appreciate all you do!We will update everyone on implementation of the new logo in the coming months.

New Hui Dui website!
While we’ve all got some free time on our hands, why not check out the newly revamped ?
Hui Dui Officers and members Mandi Hull, Katherine Lang, Nargis Sultana, and Leticia Sisior decided to undertake this reconstruction as part of LIS 650 Management of Libraries & Information Science under Dr. Andrew Wertheimer. The result is new student event calendars, links to LIS Slack channels for easier peer-to-peer communication, professional and student resources (like the ICS computer lab form students need to fill out every semester!), scholarship and HLA information, and more!
Hui Dui is the LIS official student organization. All registered LIS students automatically become members of the organization.听“Hui” is the Hawaiian word for organization. “Dui” is the phonetic spelling of 听name (among other things, Dewey was an advocate of spelling reform). Hui Dui sponsors lectures series, social events, and the all-important Grad Dinner.
