Leeward students – you're almost there! Just one more week of class, then finals, and you'll have made it through the Fall semester. Now, it's time to set your sights on Spring 2021.

This December marks the one-year anniversary of the project, Faces and Places of Leeward Community College, a website created by and for Leeward CC students.
The site features profiles of students, faculty, and staff, in addition to videos of students’ speeches about their experiences studying at Leeward. The goals of the project are to showcase the work of students in English as a second language (ESL) courses and to foster connections among students, faculty, and staff.

Here are some good resources about hurricanes and emergency preparations:
Leeward Community College has flipped the switch on becoming one of the first virtually net-zero campuses in the country. The campus is generating 97 percent of its energy through on-site photovoltaic (PV) systems, including solar shade canopies, rooftop arrays and distributed energy storage. This was done following a performance contract that reduced consumption through various energy efficiency measures.
The past few months have been trying times for our communities. Last week, the death of George Floyd sparked national and international demonstrations. The death of an African American man at the knee of a white police officer is unacceptable and is a vivid expression of the racial injustice that continues across our nation. Our Leeward ‘ohana sends our deepest sympathies to those who have been directly impacted, and to everyone whose hearts are broken.
