Our Hawaiian Population

• Hawaii Community College is a leader in meeting Strategic Planning goals for Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian participation in undergraduate education.

• The percentage of Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian students enrolled at Hawaii Community College exceeds the UH system undergraduate levels as well as the levels for the other community colleges.

Challenges

• As the only publicly supported, open enrollment community college on Hawaii Island, the College seeks to serve the entire island through distributed sites and the use of technology. Some of the special challenges we face are:

• The geographic size of Hawaii Island poses another challenge for our population seeking higher educational opportunities. Student populations are scattered over 4028 square miles of land.

Challenges

• Outdated facilities on upper and lower campus and the need to build capacity for enrollment increase

• Underserved community in West Hawaii currently being served in inadequate leased facilities in Kealakekua

Advantages

• The advantages that Hawaii Community College has are found in its people and the environment.

• Outstanding team of faculty, staff, and students ranking us 16th by Washington Monthly using CCSSE (Community College Survey of Student Engagement) survey results

• Excellent support from the community• Good relationships with other campuses within the

UH system• Abundance of natural resources• Fastest growing county in the State
