Renovations for Student Success in Developmental, Digital Media/STEM, and Business Education
This program seeks to complete three renovations in the Kahikoluamea Center, Digital Media/STEM Center and Business Learning Center for improved student support, high context learning, retention, continuation, and degree completion by Native Hawaiian and all students. The college is proposing comprehensive renovations modeled on the College¡¯s very successful STEM Center, will incorporate Hawaiian cultural design concepts and result in improved student support services, increased student effort in the active, collaborative, technology-integrated learning of academically challenging Developmental and Business Education curricula, increased peer mentoring and faculty-student interaction, and comprehensive ePortfolio-based learning outcomes assessment. The renovation of the Digital Media/STEM Center will support the integration of digital media applications into STEM and other degree programs. These renovations, with campus-funded personnel support, will facilitate the College¡¯s efforts to improve pedagogy and student support as measured by higher financial aid participation and course success, retention, continuation, and completion rates for Native Hawaiian and all students in developmental courses, as well as in STEM, Business and other degree programs.
