June 20, 2014
A) Priority Action 1.2 - Applied Learning
The PISC launched Highly Engaged Learning Placements (HELP) as a way to
incentivize Pacific Islander students to engage in applied learning initiatives in Hawaii
and in their home islands. This is part of the AANAPISI-funded "high impact"
employment initiative with particular focus on putting our students into the workplaces
that match their majors or career aspirations.
- PISC increased the quantity of HELP opportunities and doubled the number of
HELPers working in various locations throughout the Pacific.
- PISC launched a HELP Symposium to share the experiences and research findings of
the HELPers with the larger campus and Hawaii community.
- PISC implemented a new website for the HELP program where our forms, evaluations,
student experiences / blogs will be hosted (www.help.pacificstudents.org)
B) Priority Action 1.4 - Targeted Academic Support
-PISC's Educational Specialist continues collaboration with other units on campus to
provide advising and mentoring strategies for the targeted population.
-PISC implemented a 'Tutor on Demand" initiative to provide tutoring to Pacific Islander
students wherever, whenever it works for both tutor and tutee including weekends,
nights, classroom, home, etc.
-PISC increased the number of participants in our Summer Bridge program aimed at
preparing new Pacific Islander students for college-level expectations.
-Provided extended hours to enable used of the Center for academic pursuit.
PART B: Please list and describe your unit’s 2-3 priority areas for focus to improve outcomes
or enhance positive impact for students or the constituents your serve. How will you know if
you have achieved your desired outcome or impact? Note that both quantitative and
qualitative measures are acceptable.

1) Improve the retention rates of Pacific islander students
- Measure: review #s from Fall - Fall
2) Increase the type and quality of HELP positions during the summer and academic
year
- Measure: A) survey the level of satisfaction of student participants, B) survey the host
organization supervisor, C) count number of placements
3) Increase opportunities and number of Tutors-On-Demand participants
- Measure: survey participants and tutors
4) Expand outreach efforts to transfer students in addition to freshmen
-Measure: survey & focus groups
PART C: How are you reallocating your fiscal, human, facility, technology and other resources
to support your priorities?
PART D: What strategies have you implemented, if any, to either increase efficiency and
productivity in your unit, reduce waste and unnecessary cost, and/or increase your access to
alternative funding sources, including extramural funding? What new strategies do you have
planned in the coming year?
PART E: So that we can better plan and prepare for future UH System biennial budget and
supplemental budget requests, please indicate your most urgent resource needs (e.g.,
human, fiscal, facility, etc.) in the next several years and provide an estimate of the annual
recurring funds required, i.e., base dollars, and justification for the need.

- As much as possible, use carry-over grant funds from previous year(s) to support the
"high impact" activities including employment and targeted tutoring services.
- Requested AANAPISI supplemental funds to support the priorities
- Plans to increase PISC student staffing to extend the Center hours to nights and
weekend for quiet computing and study location for students who need computers and a
better study venue.
- Decreased work hours for students for more time devoted to studies; limit work hours
for our students to 10 weekly hours during the year and 20 weekly hours during the
summer.
-Will continue to apply for AANAPISI supplemental funds as available from US DOE to
fund
- Will hire academically strong non-Pacific Islander students to serve as members of the
Tutor on Demand program to support our target population.
As we are entering the 4th of a 5-year AANAPISI-funded program, the question about
Next Steps become increasingly important. Should UH Hilo follow the same strategies to
get additional AANAPISI funding?
PART F: (if applicable) Please describe at least one learning outcome that you intended to
achieve for students who interface/interact with your unit’s functions, programs, and/or
services for the coming year. How will you measure student learning relative to this
outcome? (For units who are exempt, please note what efforts you made to assess program
outcomes, e.g., conduct self-study using CAS standards. Units may conduct both learning and
program assessment.)

support your unit’s mission, goals, priorities, etc.? Examples might include helping to
change/update a policy, establishing a pathway for better communication with another unit
