This paper explores the process and identifies the results of the Mōhala Alaka'i Emerging Leaders Program's two-year research project. As a part of a Title III grant to promote first-year Native Hawaiian student success, students conducted original research to determine the top ten barriers to student success at the University of Hawaii Maui College. Through the course of two research classes, the students in the 2017 Cohort 1 of the program conducted a study to identify the top ten barriers to student success. Based on these findings, students in the 2018 Cohort 2 of the program determined that the major barrier was access to and knowledge of resources, and suggested solutions for addressing this barrier since it affected most other barriers. The students settled on creating and implementing two projects: digital signage to be displayed across campus and a campus-wide scavenger hunt designed to share resources with first-year students.
