Opportunities

HISSI

The Hawaiʻi Student Success Institute brings together faculty, staff, and administrators from the seven colleges and system office of the University of Hawaiʻi Community Colleges. Participants engage in best practices, innovations, and strategies that lead to increased student success.

Online Teaching

The UHCC's Online Teaching Service offers information and opportunities to support UHCC faculty and lecturers in their online teaching endeavors. UHCC faculty and lecturers can find information, ask questions, apply for professional development opportunities, request technology tools for teaching, and share ideas for online teaching strategies.

Hawai‘i Great Teacher Seminar (HGTS)

The Hawai‘i Great Teacher Seminar (HGTS) has been a UHCC system summer professional development event for more than 30 years. Founded by the late David Gottshall and grounded in the principles of the National Great Teachers Movement, this unique and rejuvenating experience will be unlike any other professional development you have engaged in.
