“As a land grant institution, the University of Hawaiʻi acknowledges its special responsibility to the community and the fragility of island ecosystems, including cultural, intellectual, and natural resources. It is committed to protecting these resources, studying past settlement patterns, challenging stereotypes, and fostering leadership in both staff and students. Anthropology’s broad-based approach offers the tools to value diversity and support this stewardship, reflecting the university’s understanding of kuleana.”
