University of Hawaii at Manoa

Going off to college signals a time of newfound independence for young adults, who are suddenly able to make their own choices about what they eat and how much activity they get – or don’t get. But college and university students, faculty and staff will now find themselves in healthier environments thanks to the work being done by PHA partners like the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH Mānoa).

On May 3, 2018, UH Mānoa teamed up with us to meet 23 guidelines, all with an eye toward shaping good habits for our future leaders and parents. Over three years, UH Mānoa will make changes such as providing healthier food and beverage options in dining venues, creating opportunities for physical activity and offering wellness programming on campus. With more than 17,000 students, UH Mānoa’s changes will have a major impact on healthier living now and for generations to come, and will even have a significant impact on faculty and staff.
