部落学院和大学计划 (TCUP) 的目标是提高为国家土著学生服务的特定高等教育机构的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教学和研究能力。扩大这些机构的外展、研究和 STEM 教学能力，可以为学生提供更多机会，让他们在 STEM 领域追求具有挑战性、回报丰厚的职业，为可能与当地相关的领域提供研究性学习，并鼓励教师群体超越传统课堂，寻求智力和专业发展。该项目与这一目标直接一致，而且将成为该领域代表性不足的学生进入地球科学职业的新途径的典范。这些夏威夷社区学院和夏威夷大学海洋学系之间的地球科学教育合作伙伴关系 (PAGE) 将实施一项战略方法，以增加主修地球科学的夏威夷原住民的数量和成功，其中包括向当地高中进行推广，实施夏季桥梁，通过微积分提高数学准备程度，输液将夏威夷原住民传统知识纳入参与机构的扩展地球科学课程中，为本科生提供与当地和文化相关的研究机会，分享研究成果的社区外展活动，以及每个参与机构的环境科学专家的参与以确保学生最大的可能性？学业上的成功。

A goal of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to increase the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities of specific institutions of higher education that serve the Nation's indigenous students. Expanding the outreach, research, and STEM instructional capacity at these institutions expands the opportunities for students to pursue challenging, rewarding careers in STEM fields, provides for research studies in areas that may be locally relevant, and encourages a faculty community to look beyond the traditional classroom for intellectual and professional growth. This project aligns directly with that goal, and moreover will serve as a model for novel pathways to careers in the geosciences for students underrepresented in that field.The Partnerships in Geoscience Education (PAGE) collaborative among these Hawaii community colleges and the University of Hawaii Department of Oceanography will implement a strategic approach to increasing the number and success of Native Hawaiians majoring in the geosciences that will include outreach to local high schools, the implementation of a summer bridge that will increase mathematics readiness through calculus, the infusion of Native Hawaiian traditional knowledge into an expanded geoscience curriculum at the participating institutions, locally and culturally relevant research opportunities for undergraduates, community outreach to share the results of that research, and the engagement of environmental science specialists at each participating institution to ensure the greatest likelihood of students? academic success.
