Akamai University was founded on the Island of Hawaii in 2002 as a progressive distance-learning university dedicated to the advancement of the human community and sustainability of the planet. The founders were committed to superior quality education, research and community service. Akamai is established as an international nonprofit organization which has achieved USA federal and State of Hawaii tax-exempt status.
We strive for a world filled with greater peace, balance, cooperation, and the promise of an evolved human fellowship. These are noble foundation stones upon which to establish the fundamentals of sustainable human culture. They are spiritual principles that demand a worthy mission, and although the tasks and goals before us seem immense, we believe they are attainable with deeper understanding of the problems and solutions, and the full commitment and participation of the global community.
The mission of the University is established upon the premise that amelioration of world problems and the creation of sustainable lifestyles and global practices are the hallmarks of responsible individual and corporate world citizenship. As generators of new knowledge and developers of new systems, our primary mission as an institution is the advancement of the human condition and the sustainability of the planet through superior quality education and research program and proliferation of demonstration projects worldwide.
Akamai University considers the Honoris Causa Program to be in unity with this mission. We are motivated and guided by very real circumstances that are best understood from valid and devastating global perspectives. Akamai University offers a full array of graduate programs for individuals seeking study and research in support of the University's mission. The Honoris Causa Program is extended across these fields of study: education and literacy, ecological and environmental studies, global health, energy medicine and transpersonal studies, sustainable human development, humanities, diplomacy and international studies, religious studies, applied psychology and human services, business and economic development, and information technology and media studies

In like manner with many other institutions of higher education, Akamai uses the Honoris Causa Program to gather sponsors to strengthen our financial base to support achievement of our mission, and many sponsors have come forward as a result of the Honoris Causa Program.

WORLD CHALLENGES ADDRESSED BY AKAMAI
The world pandemic from COVID 19 has crippled lives, economy and communities.
Racial injustice is a hidden buried wound that has led to inequality with serious consequences.
Sustainability of the planet is at a critical point of survival.
Roughly 1.3 billion people live in absolute poverty with nearly 25 million being added to their numbers each year. Hundreds of millions of people have no running water to drink or bathe themselves. One hundred million people do not have homes to live in and must spend their lives on the streets and pavements, their children never knowing the security of a suitable shelter. (World Bank and the United Nations)
The children of many nations suffer appalling abuses at the hands of their own countrymen and represent a huge and voiceless population seldom represented in the international human rights arena. Street children are frequently abused by police, or imprisoned in inhumane conditions. Because of their vulnerable condition, young people are often used as soldiers, and bonded laborers. Governments are known to perpetrate or acquiesce in systematic human rights violations against women, citing customs and rigid concepts of privacy as justifications for the subordination of women. (Human Rights Watch)
Human culture now has the potential to inflict irreversible damage on the environment and on its life sustaining systems and resources. Already, critical stress suffered by our environment is clearly manifest in the air, water, and soil, our climate, and plant and animal species. Should this deterioration be allowed to continue, we can expect to alter the living world to the extent that it will be unable to sustain life, as we know it. (Union of Concerned Scientists)
Already, more than ten percent of the earth's vegetated surface has been degraded, an area larger than India and China combined. This desertification, caused by overgrazing domestic animals, over-cultivation, salinization, and deforestation, has already begun to impact over 35 percent of Earth land surface and the situation is worsening (United Nations Environmental Program).
More than half the World population lacks access to the badly needed essential drugs. More than 150 million children are born every year worldwide and approximately 10% of these will never see their fifth birthday. One child dies every other second, due to malnutrition, hunger and poverty. It is estimated that one quarter of the World population is subject to chronic intestinal parasitic infections, which have insidious effects on growth, malnutrition, and cognitive functions. (World Health Organization, World Health Report)
It is no small aspiration to strive for a world filled with greater peace, balance, cooperation, and the promise of an evolved human fellowship. These are noble foundation stones upon which to establish the fundamentals of sustainable human culture. They are spiritual principles that demand a worthy mission, and although the tasks and goals before us seem immense, they are attainable with adequate understanding of the problems and solutions, and the full commitment and participation of the global community. The Honoris Causa Program for Human Advancement is intended to serve the University's mission toward the amelioration of major world problems.
