Outcomes & Indicators |
Status |
|
5 -Forge meaningful and long-term relationships among stakeholders. As lines of authority on campus have been clarified,
core concerns relating to the quality of life on campus outlined in Theme 2 and lack of adequate communication and meaningful
stakeholder participation in planning have taken hold. A key governance objective has become capitalizing on the moment and
engaging stakeholders in discussions about Strategic Plan Benchmarks crucial to our continuing evolution as a campus. |
Substantial participation in and valuing of Mānoa planning activities evident through participation figures, internal
surveys, and media coverage, and increasing program success. |

initiatives outlined in Theme 1 and linked to the Mānoa Experience mirror strategic imperatives laid out in the Strategic Plan.

culture at Mānoa. |
