The Kaua’i Beekeepers Association (KBee) in partnership with the KCC Apiary Program invite the public to an evening discussion with Hawaii State Apiary Specialist Danielle Downey this Friday, May 4, 2012, at 6:00pm in the Technology Building’s Multi-Purpose Rm114. Beekeepers, wanna beekeepers, and anyone interested in beekeeping is encouraged to attend the free event.
Ms. Downey will be focusing her discussion on updates from the statewide effort to manage, control, and eliminate common honeybee diseases and how to identify, treat, and prevent them from becoming problematic for beekeepers. A brief legislative update on the state's plan for assisting local beekeepers and helping Kaua'i keep the small hive beetle and varroa mite off the Garden Island will also bee included in the discussion. Following the discussion the KCC Apiary Program’s Bee Lab will bee open for a tour and honey samples.
The KCC Apiary Program, in partnership with the Kauai Beekeepers Association and Garden Island Resource Conservation and Development, has also received funding from the County of Kauai Office of Economic Development to provide services and training for Kauai beekeepers. Support for Kaua’i beekeepers may also come from the state legislature with the recent passing of SB 2100 for Governor Neil Ambercrombie to sign into law. This bill provides money to the UH system for honeybee research and apiary development.
While visiting Kaua’i, Ms. Downey will also bee assisting KCC Apiary Program instructors Francis Takahashi and Jimmy Trujillo with technical training to increase the capacity of the KCC Apiary Program. The KCC Apiary Program has been offering beekeeping courses to interested community members through the Office of Continuing Education and Training (OCET) and the Ho’ouluwehi Program’s Sustainable Agriculture Program with funding from a federal Rural Development Program grant. For more information about upcoming courses or to enroll in the next apiary course on Saturday, May 5, 2012, contact KCC OCET staff at 245- 8318 or Apiary Program Instructor Jimmy Trujillo at 245 8380.

ACCJC Memo on Institutional Reports of SLOs
April 5, 2012
Memo to: Chief Executive Officers and Accreditation Liaison Officers
From: Barbara Beno, Ph.D.
Subject: 2012-13 Institutional Reports on Institutional Status on Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment of Learning
A few years ago, this office informed you that the Commission expected institutions to demonstrate they were implementing the (2002) Accreditation Standards that deal with student learning outcomes by showing the institution to be at the Proficiency Level on the ACCJC's Rubric on Institutional Effectiveness, Part III, by fall 2012. On February 24, 2012, I wrote to inform you that the Commission would be conducting a special assessment of institutional status with respect to implementation of the standards about student learning outcomes during the 2012-13 academic calendar year; included was information about whether your institution's report was due October 15, 2012 or march 15, 2013.
Attached please find the College Status Report on Student Learning Outcomes Implementation to be used for completing the college report. The report form is also being sent to you in electronic form so that you can easily download and use it. Instructions appear on the form itself. You will find the report a useful document for assessing your own institution's progress in meeting Standards and you should keep it in the college's accreditation library for use in future institutional self-evaluation work.
The Commission will receive a summary report on institutional performance based on fall 2012 reports at its January, 2013 meeting, and a second summary report on institutional performance based on spring 2013 reports at its June meeting. The Commission may use an institution's report to take action to require follow-up for purposes of assuring institutional compliance with Accreditation Standards.
Please contact our offices if you have any questions about this report by calling Vice President Krista Johns or sending an email to kjohns@accjc.org. Of course, as always, please feel free to contact me as well at bbeno@accjc.org.
