University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> students, faculty and staff will gather physically and virtually at the 6th Annual Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Sustainability in Higher Education Summit<\/a> February 8–10 on Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island.<\/p>\n

This year’s summit will focus on accelerating systemwide sustainability curricular initiatives such as Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College’s recently approved sustainability minor-equivalent (academic subject certificate in sustainability) that is also being implemented at several community college campuses.<\/p>\n

The plenary sessions on both days will be livestreamed to the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Office of Sustainability Facebook page<\/a> to allow anyone interested to participate from any internet-connected device and interact using Meetingsift<\/a>, a collaboration platform that can trace its origins back to the futures studies program at UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa.<\/p>\n

SENCER<\/abbr> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a>, the College of Social Sciences ACCESS Engagement<\/a> and the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Sustainability Council<\/a> will host a satellite symposium at the ACCESS Lounge (Dean Hall 5–6 on both days). Most UH<\/abbr> campuses are hosting satellite symposiums on-site, visit the event website<\/a> to find out where and register your attendance.<\/p>\n

The virtual symposium will reduce the event’s environmental footprint by reducing the need to travel. The event features keynote talks presented remotely by Erik Assadourian from the Worldwatch Institute<\/a>, and Chip Fletcher<\/strong> from the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa School of Ocean Engineering Science and Technology<\/a> on February 8.<\/p>\n

Aunty Pualani Kanakaʻole<\/span> Kanahele and family will continue the rich dialogue currently underway across our campuses exploring the meeting of wisdoms between indigenous ancestral knowledge and western empirical sciences<\/a> on February 9.<\/p>\n

Delegations from all 10 UH<\/abbr> campuses gather annually to learn together from local practitioners, national subject matter experts and each other. The summit will include peer-to-peer faculty development about teaching climate change and related sustainability and resilience issues across disciplines, as well as sustainability-focused course development working sessions.<\/p>\n
