NHSS Community Outreach Mission Native Hawaiian Student Services - - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Native Hawaiian Student Services - Outreach mission is to make all students (K-12, transfer and non- traditional students) feel like the can reach higher education, alter and push back the narrative of Native Hawaiian displacement in higher education, expose

• ur students to other Native Hawaiian faculty/staff,

programs and resources on campus and in the community while transforming UH Mānoa to being a “Hawaiian Place of Learning” and a culturally rich place for all faculty, staff, students and community through a Hawaiian lens.

NHSS Community Outreach Mission

In 1986, a University of Hawaiʻi Hawaiian Studies Task Force completed the Kaʻū Report, which identified problems and recommended solutions to address Native Hawaiian education. One of those issues was the under-representation of Native Hawaiian students. Below are more identified problems:

• Native Hawaiians do not feel or perceive college as

accessible, affordable.

• Certain high schools have more resources and

preparation for college (disparity of college prep resources in Hawaiʻi high school.)

• Not enough strong pipelines from K-12 that direct

students into high education.

• Feeling not worthy what it takes to get into college

and continue in college.

• No clear “pathway” students take when attending

college (full time job, take care of family, etc.)
