Hawaiʻi is a unique place, because it is the treasured home and acknowledged benchmark for the empowerment of the Native Hawaiian community around the world. The College of Social Sciences recognizes the importance of its role to be an inspiring place for the next generation of Native Hawaiian leaders among both students and faculty. They are invited to cultivate their ethnic awareness and growth through distinctive programs and projects in place to strengthen ethnic awareness ad pride on an ever-globalizing planet.
