Keynote Address by Dr. Patrick Sullivan:
Building a Better Future with Education and Imagination
The Coronavirus pandemic has created worldwide economic and social calamity -- and laid bare the frailty of Hawaii’s overdependence on tourism. At the same time, the pandemic has presented Hawaii a gift -- a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change Hawaii’s future. The key to building a better future is not limited by 20th Century notions of geography but erected with 21st Century tools of education and imagination. Through a disciplined process we refer to as Intellectual Anarchy, I’ll review how we build a better future where we deliver solutions ‘from Hawaiʻi to the world,’ rather than the present approach where we spend resources to import goods, services, or bring in ‘experts’—and export our most precious resource -- our kids.
