Additional notes:
Many Honolulu CC personnel serve in leadership capacities for community-based organizations working to advance sustainability across Hawaiʻi, however, no comprehensive list of such services exists. For example:

The Honolulu CC Sustainability Committee organizes at least one workshop or professional development offering annually to support the integration of sustainability into the curriculum.

John DeLay presented within the last 3 years at the "Teaching Climate Change Affectively" workshop hosted by UH (System) Office of Sustainability (January 2021); he was also an invited speaker to "Where the Water Walks”

Honolulu CC presented a poster highlighting the STARS Reporting initiative at the UH System's HSSI (Hawaii Student Success Institute) and conducted a workshop on integrating environmental resources in S-Designation classes.

HonCC representatives (including students, faculty, and staff) have participated in the annual Hawaii Sustainability in Higher Education Summits organized by the UH Office of Sustainability. (These have not been held since 2018 due to funding restrictions)
