If you need special accommodations please contact me ahead of time.
The PVAW Task Force will also be sponsoring a Red Flag Campaign on February 14-16 in the LRC Lobby area with our community partner, the YWCA of Kaua'i. It is similar to the Clothesline Event held in October. Instead of t-shirts we will have red flags and cards to decorate with messages relating to warning signs in relationships. The Red Flag Campaign draws attention to dating violence and what bystanders can do to help friends who may be involved in an abusive relationship.
What was your red flag? (write your message on either a card or flag) Thank you,

College Conversation about Mathematics
Did you know that only 10% of students testing into MATH 22 will ever make it through college mathematics?
KCC Ohana, You are invited to a talk-story session with the Math Department and Jon Kalk. We will present data on how KCC math students do compared to national statistics. We will also offer some solutions to address this complicated math problem. In order to make a difference to those who tested into the lowest level of remedial/developmental math, we need to consider an alternative to how we do mathematics here at KCC.
Since math affects almost everyone here, as a prerequisite or program requirement, your valuable input will be much appreciated.
