Hawaii Education Activities
Unit scientists at the Hawai'i Unit teach courses at the graduate level that are responsive to the needs of graduate students. While our classes currently are primarily in support of the University of Hawai'i-Hilo's graduate program in Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science, plans are being made to expand our offerings to the University of Hawai'i system at large. The Unit also supports the Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science Program through research and mentoring.
