Leeward Garden Provides Space To Experience, Reconnect

Nestled in the back of Leeward Community College’s Pearl City campus sits a garden that preserves the beauty and rich history of Pu‘uloa, providing a safe space for students and faculty to reconnect with the land. With views extending out to Pearl Harbor, the Leeward Garden is utilized to practice ‘āina-based learning, providing students with an opportunity to experiment, to grow and to refocus.

Hunger touches everyone.

It's been over a year since our lives were turned upside down. We've been hit hard, with food insecurity increasing locally by 50 percent. Here's a hard fact: Over a quarter of a million Hawaii residents, including more than 89,000 keiki, struggle with hunger.

Last year, Leeward's ‘ohana stepped up and donated $8,279 and 547 pounds of food. This effort helped support the Hawaii Foodbank's distribution of over 18 million pounds of food. This year, we're setting the bar higher and reaching for $10K!

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CCSSE 2021 ONLINE SURVEY

What is the CCSSE (Community College Survey of Student Engagement)?
The CCSSE asks about your college experiences related to how you spend your time and what you feel about your classes and interactions with faculty, counselors, and peers. This important survey helps Leeward Community College to be a better place of learning.

Our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs focus on industry-specific skills to prepare you for a new career or help you advance in an existing one.

As we welcome you back to Leeward for our Spring 2021 semester, we are excited to announce the opening of our new Student Services Welcome Center. Despite most of our classes being offered online we have created a space, on campus, where students can get access to key services all in one place.
