HONOLULU (AP) — A new partnership agreement makes it easier for students who begin their post-secondary education at Windward Community College on Oahu to complete their baccalaureate degrees at the University of Hawaii-Hilo on the Big Island.
UH-Hilo Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Kenith Simmons says the most rewarding thing about the agreement is that it was faculty driven.
She says the faculty "took the initiative, did the heavy lifting and deserve the credit for bringing this about."
Among other things, the program offers students the opportunity to be admitted to UH-Hilo while they are completing their studies at Windward Community College.
UH-Hilo already had similar agreements with Kapiolani Community College on Oahu and Hawaii Community College on the Big Island.
