7. Reason for this curriculum action:
1. This course was taught as IS 190V (1 cr) during the summer 2008. Native Hawaiian students
responded enthusiastically to the way the content was taught. Inclusion of their native culture (values,
systems, protocol, etc.) helped students to develop personal strengths and pride in themselves while
working toward mastering course learning objectives. Adding this to Maui Community College's regular
course offerings will allow students to more easily transfer the credits to other colleges/universities. 2.
Because of the UHCC System's focus on retention via the Achieving the Dream initiative, the adoption
and offering of this course will aid the college to increase retention and student success, especially
among its multi-cultural populations, including Native Hawaiians. This course offering is flexible in that
other native cultural values can be used and taught. Native cultural values need not be limited to the
Native Hawaiian culture.
8. New course description (or year of catalog and page number of current course description, if
unchanged):
Teaches, infuses, and uses native culture to help students successfully transition into post-secondary
education. Explains the decision-making process. Teaches students how to apply collaborative skills to
pursue individual and/or group goals and how to accept responsibility for their own behaviors and
attitudes. Helps students to develop an understanding of personal strengths. Introduces students to
resources, contacts, and information for student success.

31. Course is taught at another UH campus (see Sections 5 and 6 above):
no Explain why this course is proposed for MCC: Goals of the Title 3 Mu'o A'e program are directly
tied to incoming (new) Native Hawaiian students' retention and success. Students who completed
this course (IS 190V) in summer 2008 provided enthusiastic feedback for the course content and
learning activities, especially because of the inclusion of Native Hawaiian cultural activities and
values. Offering the course under a regular alpha and number, would make the course a permanent
part of the curriculum and allow for greater validity and transferability throughout the system. The
Achieving the Dream initiative would benefit greatly from the offering of this course because
positive student outcomes of those completing the course would likely increase.

33. Additional Information (add additional pages if needed): A similar course is taught at Honolulu CC as a
1 credit course and at Kapi'olani CC, Kaua'i CC and Windward CC as a 3 credit course, course
IS 103; Introduction to College. This course, previously taught last summer as IS 190V (1 cr),
was very successful in providing incoming (new) Native Hawaiian students with a headstart into
MCC, using protocols, ways and systems valued in the Hawaiian culture to shape teaching
methods. This course may also be taught infusing other cultural values, depending on the
student population. Student retention and success are expected to increase for Mu'o students
who completed this course. The Achieving the Dream initiative, a focus and priority of the
UHCC System, will also be able to use this course to provide entering students, especially those
of multicultures, minority, and Native Hawaiian ancestries, with skills and personal strengths
that will allow them to better attain their post-secondary education goals.
