Facing the Future--On the Edge of a New Millennium. University of Hawaii Community Colleges Report.

Compiled by the University of Hawaii Community Colleges (UHCC), this 1995 comprehensive report provides information about the seven UHCC campuses, focusing on educational programs, accomplishments, and enrollment. Following a message from the Chancellor, the report describes educational and employment training efforts implemented by the UHCC to accommodate the changing economy, including credit and non-credit instructional programs, cultural and tourism programs, partnerships with high schools for school-to-work programs, and career education. Next, the report reviews efforts to improve instruction through distance education, an international focus of the campuses and curricula, conversion of noncredit courses or job competencies to degree credits, and computer and interactive multimedia instruction. Profiles are then provided of the seven colleges and the UHCC's Employment Training Center, with each profile including an introduction, a history of the institution, a narrative of 1994-95 accomplishments, and fall 1994 enrollment figures by program area and degree objective. Finally, a systemwide profile for 1994-95 is provided, including data on general fund appropriations; staffing; enrollment; classes taught; degrees and certificates awarded; student characteristics, such as full- or part-time status, gender, age, and ethnicity; programs of study offered; and special programs and community services.
