Response to Admin. Feedback Survey

Don’t forget: our first ever ALFS (Administrative Leadership Feedback System) Annual Update is coming soon!

Instead, they will be sharing with us how they plan to address our concerns and respond to the survey results. Designated speakers have yet to be determined, and the agenda has not yet been finalized.

Community College Leadership Champion–Jackie Lindo

Congratulations to Jaclyn Lindo, Economics instructor, who has been selected as Kapi‘olani CC’s Community College Leadership Champion for 2017-2018. Jackie will serve in this leadership development program along with representatives from each of the other UHCC campuses. The CCLC was established in 2004 through the vision and sponsorship of Dr. Joyce Tsunoda and the many UHCC and community contributors to the Joyce S. Tsunoda Community College Leadership Development Fund in order to develop and support future leaders within the UHCC system. Participants in the program have the opportunity to meet with UH system administrators as well as leaders from the community and culminates with a capstone project developed by the team. Former CCLC participants have advanced to leadership positions or have become actively involved in important UHCC or campus initiatives. We are proud to have Jackie serve as Kapi‘olani CC’s Community College Leadership Champion!

 

The Bistro

Gosh – summer is almost here and today’s the last day of service for our dining rooms.  So if you haven’t dined at our Ka`Ikena Dining Room for lunch or dinner yet – too bad! We are sold out!  However, you can still dine at our “Bistro” (formerly known as the 220 Grille).  Today is our last day for our dining rooms!  So again if you haven’t dined at the Bistro, please do so!  Why?  Why not? Plus it feels like Christmas – summer is almost here, then Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!  What lovely thoughts!  Oops here I go again digressing!  So come on down and dine at the Bistro!

See you there!
