“Chasing Coral” film this week
There will be a free showing of the movie “Chasing Coral” on campus on Tuesday, Oct. 23
The movie is a visually stunning and scientifically sound documentary on the subject of coral bleaching.
A newly released report estimates that 70 to 90 percent of all the coral reefs in the world will be lost if temperatures rise 1.5°C increase scenario and more than 99 percent would die if temperatures rise 2°C. The report said that is likely if dramatic action to stop global warning doesn’t happen in the next 12 years.
The movie will be shown in the Loui Room, Building 2, Room 201.

Accreditation team welcomed to campus
A team of evaluators from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior colleges is visiting Honolulu CC this week.
Every five years, the group evaluates all the facets of our school and makes recommendations to be sure we’re operating in the best interest of students.
The purposes of regional accreditation include encouraging institutions to improve academic quality, institutional effectiveness, and, ultimately, student success, according to the group’s website
The commission members are meeting with many different staff, student, and faculty groups this week and will issue a preliminary report of its findings later this year.
On Tuesday, the group was introduced to the school with a traditional Hawaiian welcome.

Free ice cream — while it lasts
Students will be able to get a free ice cream cone on campus on Thursday.

But it’s first-come, first-served, so find that friend and get there quickly.
The event is sponsored by the Student Activity Board.

Kumu Palani and his alakaʻi Kalawaiʻa Moore, an associate professor at Windward, both of whom have been teaching us to erect our hale, will be going to Chicago this week to receive the award. Kumu Palani will be featured on a panel discussion as well.
The hale under construction now will be a usable space to gather and meet, as well as create a sense of identity for our campus and community, promoting sustainability on our campus and community, and teaching the foundational skills to create a sense of place and culture for our campus community.
Work on the project is continuing and volunteers are still needed to help. You can inquire at the Hawaiian Center for dates and times.
