The University of Hawaiʻi System spans 10 campuses—including three universities and seven community colleges—serving communities across the Hawaiian Islands. As the university advanced ambitious sustainability goals, a small sustainability team faced the challenge of engaging faculty, staff, and leaders across a vast and diverse network of campuses and disciplines.
Good Juju partnered with the University of Hawaiʻi to design and facilitate a series of system-wide sustainability summits that brought together educators, administrators, and changemakers from across the system. Through interactive meeting design, graphic facilitation, and collaborative engagement activities, participants learned from one another, generated new ideas, and identified opportunities to work together in advancing sustainability throughout the university.
While enthusiasm for sustainability was high across the University of Hawaiʻi system, many faculty and staff were unsure how their roles could contribute. Departments often worked independently, creating barriers to collaboration and shared action.
UH needed a way to bring diverse disciplines together, spark meaningful conversations, and help participants discover how they could support system-wide sustainability efforts.
