Lissa Lam ’72 Schiff

This year, the awards committee selected four recipients of the Old School Award – Vicky Hollinger ’59, Trippi Ahrens ’64 Penland, Lissa Lam ’72 Schiff and Kellie James ’01 Schmidtke. 

Lissa Lam ’72 Schiff has been a wonderful presence on campus in her many roles as student, parent, alumna, volunteer and staff member. She has supported female athletic participation through her volunteer role with Na Wāhine Pa‘ani o Punahou and served the broader Punahou alumni community as a Punahou Alumni Association president. In 2005, Lissa began her work on the Advancement Team at Punahou, which culminated in her role as Director of Advancement Operations, from which she retired in December 2021. Lissa recently celebrated her 50th Class Reunion and worked hard to make it a memorable event for her classmates by leading her reunion committee as co-chair.
