The CORE program is a mentored research experience. Undergraduate students from UH Manoa and UH Hilo participate in Change(HI) research projects and are mentored by faculty from the Change(HI) team. Students have the unique opportunity to gain exposure to research methods, data science techniques and develop valuable skills. Students participate in cohort activities and professional development modules.
