Congratulations to Chia Yun “Mercy” Cheng, BBA ’26, who graduated this past Saturday from the Shidler College of Business with a degree in marketing.

Originally from Taiwan, Mercy’s journey at UH Mānoa has been one of growth, confidence and leadership. Through her involvement as a New Rainbow Warrior peer leader and with the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship, where she served as a PACE Leader and student director for the Entrepreneurship Live program, Mercy found community while helping others do the same.

As she begins her next chapter, Mercy plans to remain in Hawaiʻi and pursue a career in marketing.

We are proud to celebrate Mercy and the many ways she represents the spirit of Shidler: curious, driven and ready to lead.

After more than two decades of transformative leadership, Dean Vance Roley is preparing to begin a new chapter—returning to the classroom at the Shidler College of Business.

Since 2005, Roley has guided the college through a period of significant growth, strengthening its global reputation, expanding partnerships and elevating opportunities for students, faculty and alumni.

As he prepares to pass the reins to the next dean, Roley reflects on a tenure defined by stewardship, stability and purpose—while looking ahead to what first inspired his career in higher education: teaching and mentoring students.

His legacy will continue to shape Shidler for generations to come.

From Tokyo to Hong Kong, the Shidler College of Business was proud to reconnect with alumni, students and friends across Asia during two special Alumni & Friends mixers this spring.

In Tokyo, more than 80 alumni, friends and study abroad students gathered for an especially meaningful evening as Dean Vance Roley made his final visit to Japan as dean following more than two decades of leadership at Shidler. The evening highlighted the strength of our global alumni network and the meaningful connections formed between alumni and current students studying abroad. Mahalo to Daniel Chun, BS ’02, from Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines for sharing his insights and journey with our guests.

The College then continued on to Hong Kong, where alumni and friends gathered for another memorable evening of reconnection and celebration. While more intimate in size, the pride, energy and shared Shidler spirit were just as strong.

These gatherings served as a powerful reminder that the Shidler connection extends far beyond Hawai‘i — bringing our community together across industries, generations and continents. Mahalo to everyone who joined us and continues to support our students, programs and global network. We are especially grateful to the alumni and Shidler team members who helped make this trip possible.

We look forward to returning in 2027 — stay tuned for future dates and events!
