UH Mānoa launches national search for athletic director

from UH News, Apr 4, 2025

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has officially launched a national search for its next athletic director. The job announcement was posted today, Friday, April 4, alongside the start of nationwide advertising. Parker Executive Search, the national firm assisting UH Mānoa with the search, is actively recruiting top candidates from across the country.

The 10-member search committee, appointed by UH President Wendy Hensel, began meeting in late March to define candidate qualifications and expectations. Listening sessions with key groups—including coaches, staff, student-athletes, faculty, alumni and community partners—will be held to gather feedback and help guide the search.

“This process is designed to be thorough, transparent and inclusive,” said UH President Wendy Hensel. “We are committed to selecting a visionary leader who will champion our student-athletes and elevate UH Mānoa athletics.”

Candidates will be recruited over the coming weeks and UH is tentatively scheduled to announce the new athletic director by early summer. Pursuant to Hawaiʻi state law, applicant and nominee names will remain confidential.

The next athletics director will succeed Craig Angelos, who left UH in December 2024. Associate Athletics Director Lois Manin has been serving as acting AD during the interim period.
