Students from Toyama Lend a Helping Hand

The inaugural group of students from Toyama National College of Marine Technology visited Hawaii last March. As students who study modern navigation techniques they were stumped when asked the question, "So what is navigation?" by KCC professor Dennis Chun. With all the computers and precise instrumentation on modern ships, it wasn't a concept they had ever separated from those tools. The students spent time learning Polynesian Navigation, Hawaiian culture, and English. Among their many activities was helping with KCC's outrigger canoe project, interacting with various KCC students and organizations, and learning alongside others on the Big Island.

This March, we'll greet the next group of students from Toyama NCMT.　 お楽しみに。

"A Safer Learning Environment" College Discussion January 19th at 12:00

All Faculty, Staff and Students are invited:

On Wednesday January 19th, Dr. Luoluo Hong, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at UH Hilo will be giving a talk entitled "A Safer Learning Environment" at 12:00 in Technology 114. The presentation is scheduled for 1 hour, from 12:00 to 1:00, with another hour of discussion to follow from 1:00 to 2:00.

About the presentation:

Campus violence continues to be one of the most serious public health concerns facing college students. The incidents at Virginia Tech and other universities has increased our sensitivity to the issue, but what exactly can we do to decrease the likelihood of violence in our lives? Whether it is sexual assault, cyberstalking, domestic violence, or bullying, every member of the campus community has a role and responsibility to play in helping make a safer world for all. Please come join us for this provocative and interactive conversation about how we can all work together to end violence at Kauai Community College and beyond.

Martin Luther King Day Mural Project and Open Mic

There will be a Mural Project and Open Mic titled "Peace, Love, and Understanding," that will take place next Tuesday, January 18, from 12pm-2pm outside of the library. The idea for this project is to bring us all together as a campus and create an event that celebrates a great leader. I hope to have student and faculty participation to do readings and help fill in the sidewalk mural in remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s message. The Open Mic participation is a way for spoken word artists and performers to speak out and express themselves about world peace, overcoming differences, and comment on our shared humanity.

Please spread the word to your students, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
