Timeline
On October 28, 2007, artist Jan-Michelle Sawyer unveiled a statue honoring Thompson in the Stan Sheriff Center. The next year, she was honored with a NACWAA Lifetime Achievement Award. Thompson died on February 2, 2009 at the age of 75.
On April 5, 1981, the State of Hawaii dedicated that day as "Dr. Donnis Thompson Day" to honor the impact of her contributions to women’s athletics. As a result of her success, Thompson was named the State of Hawaii Department of Education school superintendent, before being terminated in 1984 for a lack of long range planning and policy. Prior to leaving the University of Hawaii, Thompson helped add five more women's sports and achieve a National Volleyball Championship title. She returned to teach at the University of Hawaii after her termination from 1984 until 1991.
Upon returning to the University of Hawaii, Thompson worked alongside Congresswoman Patsy Mink to write the legislation for Title IX to end discrimination on the basis of gender. Soon after the passing of Title IX in 1972, she was appointed the university's first women's athletic director, on a budget of $5,000. A few years later, in 1975, Thompson requested a budget increase to $231,000, but received only $131,000. With this amount, she hired Dave Shoji in 1975 to become a part-time women's volleyball coach on a salary of $2,000 per season. The following year, Thompson began charging for admission to women's volleyball events, which was a revolutionary idea for the time.
In 1961, Thompson started the Rainbow Wahine sports program by forming a track and field team. However, she struggled with the unequal treatment female athletes were subjected to prior to the passing of Title IX. In the team's inaugural season, Thompson's teaching salary equalled $5,000, with an added $700 for coaching. In 1962, Thompson was elected as coach to United States National Track Team, which competed against Russia.
Donnis Hazel Thompson (April 1, 1933 – February 2, 2009) was an American professor of health, physical education, and recreation at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and was the university's first women's athletic director. At the University of Hawaii, she started the Rainbow Wahine program. In 1981, Thompson was elected the State of Hawaii Department of Education school superintendent.
Thompson was born on April 1, 1933 in Chicago, Illinois. She attended Carter Elementary School and St. Elizabeth High School where she participated in swimming, track and field, and cheerleading. After high school, Thompson enrolled at George Williams College from which she graduated in 1955.
