Publication: Ka Wā Ma Hope: the Future is in Back of Us

The Shared Services Center proudly presents its inaugural publication, Ka Wā Ma Hope: the Future is in Back of Us. This publication began with a desire to share the academic research of the Title III Fellowship recipients with the Kapi‘olani Community College community. After securing a diversity grant from the UH Office of Student Equity, Excellence, and Diversity (SEED) IDEAS Award program, the Shared Services Center hosted the inaugural symposium focusing on current Native Hawaiian student success strategies, followed by a panel discussion on juggling graduate education while working full-time.
