National grant funds Direct2UH initiative to simplify college path for students
The University of Hawaii has been selected as one of 10 recipients of a national grant from Lumina Foundation's Great Admissions Redesign initiative to expand its Direct2UH program. The $400,000 grant is part of the foundation's $3.5 million investment to simplify the college admissions process and expand student access across the country.
Building on the success of Direct2UH--the direct admissions initiative launchedin October 2025, offering free entry to public high school seniors based on their GPA--the grant will fund a unified admissions system with enhanced outreach and guidance. This creates a more equitable pathway for Hawaii students to apply, access financial aid, and enroll across nine campuses, with UH Manoa expected to join the program later this year.
"This investment allows us to build a simpler, more connected pathway to college for Hawaii's students-one that ensures every learner, regardless of background or geography, has clear and supported opportunities, making it easier for more students to move from aspiration to enrollment and ultimately to success," said Farrah-Marie Gomes, UH associate vice president for student affairs. "This work matters locally because it directly addresses the barriers our students face and strengthens our responsibility as a statewide system to serve every community."
Lumina's Great Admissions Redesign initiative supports states, systems, and institutions in integrating admissions, financial aid, advising, and enrollment systems. The goal is to remove unnecessary barriers and help more students successfully enroll in and complete college.
"Across the country, we're seeing real momentum to rethink how students access college," said Melanie Heath, Lumina strategy director. "This cohort reflects a clear shift from fragmented fixes to coordinated, student-centered systems."
Commitment to college access
At full scale, Direct2UH will reach students at all public and charter high schools across the state, with implementation in partnership with the Hawaii State Department of Education and Hawaii P-20. By aligning systems and expanding support, it will increase college access and enrollment statewide, particularly for rural and underserved communities.
Lumina's Great Admissions Redesign initiative is part of a broader national effort to increase post-high school attainment and advance Lumina's Goal 2040, which aims for 75 percent of working-age adults to hold a credential of value.

UAlbany Students Receive Hands-On Training in Powering the Grid
By Bethany Bump
You're on deadline working on an important project when you hear a thunderstorm.
"What is your confidence level that you're going to be able to work uninterrupted with your power with severe weather coming?" Terry Benton asked an auditorium of UAlbany students who showed up to NY Creates' Albany NanoTech Complex last month for a workshop on energy storage and microgrids.
The answer to that question is of critical importance,Benton explained -- not just to students on deadline, but to communities, industry and any institution requiring continuous power to deliver essential and life-saving services. These institutions often rely on microgrids, which use renewable energy and battery storage to ensure reliable power when the main power grid experiences an outage or disruption.
The March 26 workshop -- offered by NextEra Energy Resources, a global leader in renewable energy and energy storage, and UAlbany's College of Nanotechnology, Science, and Engineering (CNSE) -- gave students a hands-on opportunity to see just how resilient a microgrid is to disruptions. Students were shown how to perform a microgrid resiliency test using a solar array simulator, demonstrating how batteries and renewable energy can help ensure grid stability by maintaining power during an outage.
Collaborations between universities like UAlbany and industry leaders like NextEra Energy Resources are essential. In addition to developing a skilled workforce for the future of renewable energy, these programs help ensure students engage directly with the technologies and opportunities shaping the power grid in real time.
"Being able to work with a smaller system like this, it gives you an idea of what a job might look like going into the field," said Jay Van Allen, a freshman nanoscale science major who helped lead the simulation. "It honestly makes me more interested in potentially going into this type of work, and understanding what it would be like to be behind the scenes running these things."
The training was provided to more than three dozen students across CNSE, including students taking courses in Disruptive Nanotechnologies and Electrical Energy Storage. It kicked off with remarks from CNSE Dean Michele J. Grimm, NYSERDA President and CEO Doreen Harris and New York Power Authority President Justin Driscoll, who discussed the need for a skilled workforce that is able to design, build and operate the next generation of clean energy systems.
"Right now, we have over 180,000 clean energy workers in the state of New York," said Harris, adding that number is expected to more than double as the state works to achieve energy goals in areas such as solar, wind, energy storage and building decarbonization.
For Benton, an energy systems training engineer with NextEra Energy Resources, the workshop represents more than a single training session.
"These students are entering the energy industry at a pivotal time, as the nation works to modernize and strengthen the power grid," he said. "That effort represents a long-term opportunity to build a meaningful career, and it requires a skilled workforce with the strong technical foundation these students are developing today."
The workshop took students on a deep dive into the architecture of modern energy systems while also covering basic electrical principles. Benton emphasized the importance of following property safety protocols to reduce the risk of accidents such as electrocution, slips and falls, before leading students in the hands-on demonstration.
The training is one of many hands-on learning opportunities for students interested in renewables and energy storage, said CNSE Professor Harry Efstathiadis, noting a two-week electrical energy storage workshop he puts on for students each year that combines classroom learning, lab training and site visits.
"It's very important connecting what they learn from class with the hands-on experience so they can see how it is applied in real life," he said.
That was a major goal for Alex Mohan, a master's student in nanoscale engineering who began working for NextEra Energy Resources six years ago and helped to organize the workshop.
"You are often taught fundamentals and not necessarily real-world applications," he said. "I wanted students to be able to connect what they are learning here to what's happening out there and see that there are job opportunities waiting for them."

NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey, April 10 -- Rutgers University issued the following news:
* * *
New Jerseyans Give Sherrill Solid Ratings at 100 Days, but Uncertainty Remains
Gov. Mikie Sherrill nears the end of her first 100 days in office with ratings on par with New Jersey governors of recent past and marks that indicate an electorate still forming its opinions of the new state leader, according to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll.
Now that Sherrill has assumed office, 44% have a favorable impression of her, while 29% have an unfavorable one. Both positive and negative opinions have each tickedup a few points since January as more New Jerseyans take a side, but a quarter (24%) still have no opinion on the governor and 3% say they don't know who she is.
Sherrill has the highest favorability among the political figures included in this Poll.
Her first approval rating mirrors her favorability: 45% approve of the job the new governor is doing, 29% disapprove and 26% are unsure.
"Barely three months have passed since Gov. Sherrill has taken office, and while we see her continue to garner more positive reactions than negative ones, many of her constituents are still forming an opinion," said Ashley Koning, an assistant research professor and director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. "No governor can move the needle on the issues that matter most to New Jerseyans in just 100 days - especially against the backdrop of a hyperpartisan political climate and kitchen-table concerns like cost of living that have been building for years and will not yield overnight. But among those who have made up their minds, about 6 in 10 hold a favorable impression and approve of the job Sherrill is doing. These are solid baseline numbers, and the real test will come as New Jerseyans see more of what she can deliver."
The Poll asked residents to give Sherrill an overall grade for the job she is doing as governor on a standard educational grading scale ranging from A to F. Thirteen percent of residents give her an A, 30% a B, 19% a C, 11% a D and 14% an F. Fourteen percent are unsure.
The same scale was used to grade various policy areas. Sherrill receives average grades across the board - some areas higher than others - with around 1 in 5 residents on most issues unsure of what mark to give.
Sherrill's lowest grades are on the two most important issues that have been constantly at the top of New Jerseyans' minds: affordability and taxes. On both issues, about 3 in 10 New Jerseyans give the new governor an F. On cost of living, 5% give her an A, 13% a B, 21% a C, 16% a D and 30% an F. Fourteen percent are unsure of how to grade her. On taxes, 6% give Sherrill an A, 14% a B, 21% a C, 14% a D and 28% an F. Sixteen percent are unsure.
On the state's economy and jobs, 8% give her an A, 21% a B, 21% a C, 13% a D and 18% an F. Twenty percent are unsure. On the state budget and government spending, 9% give her an A, 20% a B, 16% a C, 12% a D and 21% an F. Twenty-three percent are unsure.
"Gov. Sherrill's grades mirror much of what we saw as Gov. Phil Murphy left office, pointing to how difficult it is for any new governor - especially one of the same party - to make headway on substantive issues while still building out her administration and setting an agenda," Koning said. "None of these issues have easy answers, and the grades reflect that reality and the surmounting challenges that have grown over time more than any judgment of her early governorship thus far."
Sherrill gets her highest marks on crime and public safety, as well as transportation and infrastructure and education.
On crime and safety, 11% of residents give Sherrill an A, 24% a B, 19% a C, 8% a D and 18% an F, while 21% are unsure.
Twelve percent give her an A on transportation and infrastructure, 21% a B, 20% a C, 12% a D and 14% an F, with 21% unsure of how to grade her. On education and schools, 10% give Sherrill an A, 23% a B, 19% a C, 10% a D and 15% an F, with 23% uncertain.
Sherrill also garners good marks on healthcare, with 8% of residents giving her an A, 19% a B, 20% a C, 12% a D and 15% an F, with 26% unsure how to grade her.
Regarding other New Jersey politicians, residents are split on U.S. Sen. Cory Booker. Thirty-eight percent of residents have a favorable view, while 33% have an unfavorable view and 20% have no opinion. Eight percent say they don't know who he is.
New Jerseyans are twice as likely to have a positive than negative view of U.S. Sen. Andy Kim (34% favorable versus 17% unfavorable), though half either have no opinion on the junior senator (30%) or don't know who he is (20%).
As for President Donald Trump, 26% say they have a favorable impression of him, 61% are unfavorable and 12% have no opinion.
Results are from a statewide poll of 1,568 adults contacted through the probability-based Rutgers-Eagleton/SSRS Garden State Panel from March 27 to March 30. The full sample has a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percentage points.
