This position is located in the Office of the Provost, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa (UHM), and reports directly to the Provost.

The Manoa CARES’s vision is to be an integral aspect of the holistic approach towards and with students and employees, as well as the public, to welcome people from all backgrounds, First Amendment opinions, evolving landscapes and innovative programming to assist in the maintenance and expansion of individual and campus well-being in academic, extra-curricular, social and work environments.
Manoa CARES embraces diversity, commits to inclusion and cultivates core campus values while providing high-quality, client-focused services necessary to identify, understand, safety plan, file informal or formal grievances, and assist with appropriate dispute resolutions. The emphasis is on direct services that include facilitating the active participation of students and employees in appropriate conflict and dispute resolution processes and peace strategies to identify, inform, assist, and address contentious and polarizing opinions, actions and conduct, as well as building a positive, uplifting, conscious and courageous community of 21st century learner and leaders. The office also provides confidential advocacy resources to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The Manoa CARES Director serves as advisor to the Provost on related matters and is a member of the Manoa Provost Council and other relevant system and UH Manoa campus teams. The Director supervises Manoa CARES faculty, staff and other appropriate employees. The office will also make appropriate referrals of students and employees to services on and off the UH Manoa campus.
The Office works in collaboration with campus and system offices in a variety of ways, which will grow according to campus priorities, such as equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives. Each office is functionally independent relative to purpose and responsibilities, but all support campus-based responses to advancing educational and research pursuits, individual and collective accountability and adaptive alternatives to address long-standing conflicts that are rooted in Hawai’i’s history, lack of true reconciliation and the absence of ho’oponopono (to make right, balance, harmony) processes.
