Dr. Sun Yat-sen is recognized by the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan as the father of modern China. To commemorate his 150th birthday, a bust in Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s likeness will be unveiled by his granddaughter, Dr. Lily Sui-Fong Sun this Wednesday, November 30 beginning at 12 noon on the second floor of Lama Library.
Seating for invited guests will be arranged near Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s extensive book collection and educational display. Because the ceremony may disrupt the comfortable quiet zone on the second floor, we are asking for everyone’s patience and understanding during the brief ceremony.
Please plan accordingly.
Thank you.

Laulima 10.7 Information & Migration Guidance workshops will take place on:
During each session, we will preview the new features in Laulima 10.7 and walk you through the migration of your course into the Spring 2017 site. In November and December, before ITS completes the upgrade, you will get access to the “Sandbox” version of Laulima 10.7. Sign up for a session at https://ohana.kapiolani.hawaii.edu/training/
A frequently asked question is “Can I import my course into the Spring 2017 site now? How will it be affected when Laulima is upgraded?” A short answer: Yes, you can import it now and most of your course should stay the same. After the winter break, review your site carefully to ensure that everything is in order. If you use Lessons tool, please follow the Guidelines.
We are in the process of documenting the new features of Laulima 10.7. The standout features seem to be
But the teacher in me thinks Extra credit option in the Gradebook and the Assignment comments being pushed to the Gradebook are pretty significant too. Please email or call CELTT if you have questions!
We hope you can join us at one of the scheduled workshops. If not, please submit a request for a one-on-one session.
Aloha kākou!
