During his 14 years, Dean Raleigh solidified the school's presence by increasing the federal and state funding and contracts, increasing the number of full-time faculty positions, and the construction of the Pacific Ocean Science and Technology building.

The Senate of the Twenty-Second Legislature of the State of Hawaii hereby recognizes and congratulates Dean C. Barry Raleigh for his contributions and dedication to bringing the University of Hawaii at Manoa to the forefront of ocean, atmospheric, and earth science studies, and extends its warmest Aloha and best wishes for the future.
