1) Below are your program's student outcomes (SOs). Please add or update as needed.
The core values, which drive and shape our student support activities stems from our mission and informed by our collective experience and initial assessment work. In Summer 2013, NHSS drafted a new program logic model (see attachment). The document is still in working draft form, as we have not yet finalized our eloquent “long-term” impact and vision statements. Additionally, we feel that there is one more piece missing in this overall logic model that still needs to be represented here (as illustrated in the large gap in the second column). We are confident that this next year will help us fill in that missing piece with the assessment data we collect and our ongoing conversations about our work.
(1) Haumāna develop a sense of place & belonging at UH Mānoa.
(2) Haumāna build networks of mentorship support with peers.
(3) Haumāna develop a critical thinking epistemology using Hawaiian identity and history as the foundation.
(4) Haumāna recognize their place within the lāhui.
(5) Haumāna develop transferrable academic & career skills.
(6) Haumāna develop positive attitudes about their career or graduate school potential.
(7) Lāhui Hawai‘i develop a sense of place & belonging at UH Mānoa.
(8) NHSS develop and maintain a contributing presence in the Hawaiian community.
Update: We are currently in the process of hiring a new Director of NHSS and will be waiting until the new person is on board to finalize our core documents to include these student learning outcomes. Additionally, we are in the last year of funding on our Title III grant, Hulili, that supports a large percentage of our programming, and are about to start up with our new Title III grant, Eia Manoa, that started October 1, 2014.
