The Academic Resource Center (ARC) serves students with a holistic lens that focuses on
individual differences to generate growth and forward movement with clarity of purpose,
values, and goals to create a foundation for successfully crossing the multiple bridges on
the academic journey. ARC develops independent, effective learners in a collaborative
learning environment incorporating the Native Hawaiian concept of Pilina Circles to
identify association, connection and relationships as key to both being an effective tutor as
well functioning as an effective ‘ohana. ARC actively partners with other campus programs
in responding to the needs of our diverse student population to enhance the student
experience in supporting the development of success-oriented strategies to achieve
academic goals. ARC facilitates learning to provide the groundwork for generating a future
path for students to contribute to the broader community, both locally and globally.
