The University of Hawaii GP-IMPACT project seeks to address the challenges of securing the future geoscience workforce in the U.S. by investigating geoscience student pathways, especially for diverse student participants. This project introduces and develops a Geoscience, Earth/Environmental Science, Ocean Science (GEO) Pathway at the University of Hawaii, that provides students with a clear academic goal and support services as they navigate their way to their intended Baccalaureate STEM major. The GEO STEM Pathway incorporates specifically designed student learning outcomes at all critical junctures of the students' progress. The pathway is designed for stop-out/move-in, so that students facing external, unanticipated challenges can leave the program with an academic credential and an established set of skills attractive to industry and rejoin the path later, once they are ready. This pathway is more than a recommended progression of required and elective coursework and academic curriculum. The pathway employs selected high impact practices in education aimed at native Hawaiian and other STEM students at critical junctures in the pathway to support student retention and persistence.The Primary goal of the University of Hawaii (UH) GP-IMPACT project is to increase the number and diversity of undergraduate students who enroll, persist, and complete a degree program in the Geology, Environmental/Earth, and Ocean (GEO) Sciences at the University of Hawaii. To accomplish this goal the UH will create a formal GEO academic pathway and college collaboration between UH Manoa School of Ocean, Earth and Science Technology (SOESTS) and the two largest community colleges in the State. This partnership will: 1. Develop engaging and sustained academic and career pathways in Geosciences from K-12 to higher education and between 2- and 4-year colleges. 2. Build capacity for career relevant geoscience programs in Hawaii; 3. Broaden participation in GEO Sciences by leveraging high impact practices for engagement of underrepresented groups, particularly native Hawaiians. 4. Provide opportunities for UH GEO students, faculty, and staff to engage in effective strategies that ensure learning, support teaching and strengthen undergraduate research experiences. The Hawaii GEO Pathway consortium envisions sustained inter-campus and UH system partnerships, a collaboratively developed and rigorous geoscience curriculum, effective recruitment, retention, and cohort experiences with strong support services and engaged learning opportunities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

夏威夷大学GP-IMPACT项目旨在通过调查地球科学学生的途径，特别是针对不同的学生参与者，解决确保美国未来地球科学劳动力的挑战。该项目在夏威夷大学引入并开发了地球科学、地球/环境科学、海洋科学（GEO）途径，为学生提供明确的学术目标和支持服务，帮助他们顺利进入STEM学士学位专业。GEO STEM路径在学生进步的所有关键时刻纳入了专门设计的学生学习成果。这条道路是为中途退出/迁入而设计的，因此，面对外部、意想不到的挑战的学生可以带着学术证书和一套对行业有吸引力的既定技能离开这个项目，一旦他们准备好了，就可以重新加入这条道路。这个途径不仅仅是必修课、选修课和学术课程的推荐进展。该路径在教育中选择了高影响力的实践，针对夏威夷原住民和其他STEM学生，在路径的关键时刻支持学生的保留和坚持。夏威夷大学（UH） GP-IMPACT项目的主要目标是增加在夏威夷大学注册、坚持并完成地质、环境/地球和海洋（GEO）科学学位课程的本科生的数量和多样性。为了实现这一目标，休斯敦大学将在休斯敦大学马诺阿海洋、地球和科学技术学院（SOESTS）和该州两所最大的社区学院之间建立正式的地理学术途径和学院合作。这一伙伴关系将：从K-12到高等教育，从2到4年制大学，在地球科学领域发展引人入胜和持续的学术和职业道路。2. 在夏威夷建立与职业相关的地球科学项目的能力；3. 通过利用高影响力的实践，让代表性不足的群体，特别是夏威夷原住民参与进来，扩大对地球科学的参与。为休斯敦地理学院的学生、教职员工提供机会，让他们参与有效的策略，以确保学习、支持教学和加强本科生的研究经验。夏威夷地理路径联盟设想持续的校园间和UH系统合作伙伴关系，协作开发和严格的地球科学课程，有效的招聘，保留和队列体验，强大的支持服务和参与学习机会。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
