Kauai CC Hosts Kalaupapa Exhibit (until 5/5)

E kala mai for the late announcement, but we were able to host an exhibit in the One Stop Center lobby put together by "Ka ʻOhana O Kalaupapa" nonprofit organization.  This exhibit chronicles the leper settlement on Kalaupapa, Molokaʻi in pictures and stories.  One of the missions of the organization is not only to preserve the history of Kalaupapa and those sent there, but to also re-connect families and descendants with their connection to this part of history.  It will be here to May 5th just before graduation.  It is a very compelling, interesting, and emotional story.  Please take some time to wander through the exhibit.

Mahalo nui,

Cafeteria Closure (Until Fall 2013)

Just to keep everyone up-to-date, the cafeteria will be closed until the first day of instruction in Fall 2013. The closure is due to an unfortunate shortage of staff. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We'd like to thank all our supportive guests for their patronage, and look forward to seeing you this Fall semester. We appreciate your business!

Mahalo,

International Education Within Reach (4/29 - 4/30)

Students, find out how you can see and serve the world through international education!

In March of 2012,  through the Wofford Scholarship and Honda International Travel Fund, Kauai CC student Dylan Wehrly was able to travel to Costa Rica. While in Costa Rica, Dylan volunteered at a local daycare. He will share his stories and experiences about his trip on Monday, April 29, 2013, in the magazine alcove in the Library. His presentation will begin at 12:30 p.m.

Dylan's presentation is part of a two-day event to promote international education and the Wofford Scholarship program. Chancellor Cox will speak about her trip to India on Tuesday, April 30, at 2:00 p.m. in the Library's magazine alcove.

Sponsored by the International Education Committee.
