Congratulations to Nāwaʻa Napoleon (Dean of Arts & Sciences) for being selected as a recipient of a Title III fellowship to attend the 2017 Achieving the Dream (“ATD”) Conference. As a Title III fellow, Dean Napoleon represented Kapi`olani Community College among the delegates selected from the University of Hawai‘i to attend the ATD Conference. Nāwaʻa learned about outreach efforts at other community colleges to serve their vulnerable populations. One presentation that stood out to him was the community outreach at Coastal Bend College’s EMT program. “The students would take the ambulance out to the community in parking lots, just to show the community what they were learning.” Learn more about Hawaiʻi Papa O Ke Ao, a presidential-appointed work committee tasked with developing, implementing and assessing strategic actions to make the University of Hawaiʻi a leader in indigenous education.
