As a theme it reflects our commitment to engage our students in active learning to address the changing needs of our state and the planet. At UH Mānoa, innovation represents not just a strategy to make education more compelling, but our kuleana, our duty and responsibility, to our state and the region.

By challenging our students to integrate and apply new knowledge, we open pathways for them to become leaders in innovating the future. [Read More]
