Cornell's involvement
with the Center is as follows:
"By involving
K-12 students in its island-wide research projects, Cornell University,
will provide them with important connections to senior scientists
and will also connect these students with one another. Cornell
envisions a collaborative sharing of results and building of databases
which will culminate in the presentation of K-12 scientific congresses.
Mentoring programs will also allow Cornell's student scientists
to work with younger students on island-inspired research projects.
In addition to pursuing
its research interests, Cornell will partner with The Kohala Center
to develop an environmental sciences program for its undergraduates.
The semester-long educational program will place undergraduates
and their supervisors in island-managed research projects, giving
the students first-hand information about real field situations
and about the societal, cultural, and spiritual contexts of scientific
work."
