Aloha KCC ʻOhana,
Mahalo to all of you for your continued efforts to support our students, our community and each other.
We continue to work together to prepare for the fall semester. I want to express my thanks to the “Comeback Committee” for their thoughtful deliberation, participation and contribution to the development of our campus’ plan to return for the fall semester.

Aloha mai kākou,
Together we have faced events none of us could have imagined. Our ‘ohana continues to adapt to our ever-changing circumstances. Our challenges, financial and otherwise, will continue to need our attention, thoughtful deliberation, and decision – making.
Many of our high school graduating seniors have had their college plans disrupted by the COVID-19 crisis and were unable to connect with Kauaʻi Community College during their senior year.
The Hawai'i Community Foundation, Kaua`i Community College, and the University of Hawai'i System are offering a new program to help our recent grads called “Next Steps to Your future.”
Kauaʻi CC is offering free online summer courses. Students receive college credit and get a headstart in their education and career.

Aloha members of our Kaua'i CC ‘ohana,
Please let me share my gratitude to each of our faculty and staff for a successful conclusion to this very challenging semester. Many unexpected events converged in a perfect storm to up-end life as we have known it.
This community of learners, faculty, staff and students has each felt the effects of this pandemic in very personal ways, and have met these challenges with a willingness to adapt to circumstances beyond our control.

It is my hope that you are all doing well, as well as can be expected and that you are staying safe!
Together, we have faced previously unimaginable challenges and so far we have risen to new heights to meet them. I appreciate the many sacrifices that have been made by our college community in order to ensure our students can continue to be successful, and as we work through the many restrictions implemented to ensure our continued health and safety.

It is my sincerest hope that each of us is healthy, well and staying safe. It is evident during this difficult time for all of us, the challenges we face both individually and collectively seriously tests the spirit of Aloha and the strength of our ‘Ohana. At this point we can only imagine the lasting impact this pandemic will leave on us once we are on the other side of it. No doubt we will continue to be challenged and our spirit will continue to be stretched.
