This textbook meets the new Guided Pathways Requirement

First Edition We are happy to announce the first edition of Hawai'i and Pacific Island College and Career Success. This textbook includes a Native Hawaiian and Pacific Island cultural perspective. It is based on the premise that students are more successful when they take pride in their culture. While the textbook is designed for Native students, all student who live in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands can benefit from increasing knowledge and appreciation of the culture of the people where they live. A new interactive online edition is now available.
Textbook Cover Artist We are also happy to announce that Nicole Arielle Maka’āhina’ālohilohi Jack was selected as the artist for the textbook cover. She was born and raised in Kapahulu on the island of O’ahu and will graduate from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa with a degree in Pacific Islands Studies in 2017. She states that the cover art for this publication aims to highlight just a few of the many accomplishments of indigenous Pacific peoples. In recognition of their skills in long distance voyaging and celestial navigation, the Hōkūle’a is featured, sailing within the 32-point star compass that Nainoa Thompson adapted from the Satawalese version taught to him by Mau Piailug. Navigational aids like star constellations, birds, the moon, the sun, winds, and ocean currents are included, as Oceanic navigators cleverly devised how to utilize them for open ocean sailing. Island people skillfully developed sophisticated agriculture and aquaculture techniques like terraced kalo farming and fishpond wall construction, which enabled them to provide stable food sources for a thriving population. Petroglyph designs symbolize people joined together, exemplifying the customs of laulima and of working as a community—integral values for living on geographically small islands with finite resources. Shown too is the abundance of healthy natural environments like forested mountains and plentiful waterways, which were the product of Pacific Islanders’ successes in applied sustainable living practices. Moving into the future, we can glean from the Indigenous people of the Pacific the importance of staying ancestrally rooted in the foundations of the past, but also remaining ever adaptive and flexible to changes that will invariably come with the contemporary age.

Overview of Content

Chapter 1, Cultural Identity and Success, contains an overview of Hawaiian history of higher education from
colonization to the present day. It helps students to understand that taking pride in their culture and appreciating
diversity is the foundation for learning. It also helps students in transitioning to college and overcoming common
obstacles to their success.

Chapters include a section titled "Appreciating Island Cultures" which helps students to connect their culture to
success in higher education. Discussion questions help students to understand traditional stories and how the
teachings can be used for success in college, careers, and in life.

The textbook includes a career emphasis to help students make an informed choice of a college major and career. It includes the
Do What You Are personality assessment that yields results comparable to Myers-Briggs. It also includes the MI Advantage
