Campus Report November 7

C A M P U S R E P O R T

The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is accompanied by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest realization of the world in which we live.

-Bertrand Russell

CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES ABOVE KIEFFER HALL

Jackhammers pound through rock and backhoes scoop up dirt, making for a cacophony of heavy metal construction equipment meeting the hard rock pohaku of Chaminade.Construction will continue on the mauka side of the road from Kieffer Hall through the early part of next year. According to Chaminade's Facilities Department, there will be noise and dust, but all efforts will be made to keep the inconvenience to a minimum.

Once the parking lot is completed they hope to have about 20 to 30 more parking places available, said Physical Plant Director Michael Haisen. The lot will be paved and striped with landscaping added to form a visual barrier. The landscaping will enhance the campus by using plants that are complementary.

In the meantime, 14 new parking spots will continue to be available to Chaminade Faculty and staff in the newly opened lot next to the Mystical Rose Oratory. The chains to the new parking area were taken off recently. The spaces will be available from 6:00 am. to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. The lot will also be rechained every afternoon at 5:00 pm, as well as on weekends to allow parking for functions at the Mystical Rose.

WASC Approves Online MED

Chaminade's online Master’s in Education (MED) is the University's first degree program to receive full approval by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges), the University's accrediting agency. The program, designed for neighbor island students, will present a degree which mirrors Chaminade's regular campus MED.“The program has had an enormous success since we started it,” said Chaminade’s Master of Education Program Director Rosemary Wolfe, PhD. “This approval validates the quality of our program.”

In January the Ed Division will join a Secondary Education Licensure program to the MED so that off-island students will be able to be recommended for teaching licensure to the State of Hawaii as well as receive the MED.“This will bring opportunities to people who otherwise would be unable to get their degrees,” Dr. Wolfe said.

In terms of enrollment, Chaminade's is currently the largest online program among those offered by Hawaii universities. Between the graduate and undergraduate programs, the University offers over 50 online courses a term with average enrollment of about 750 a term. At the graduate level, the University offers courses in Criminal Justice Administration and Pastoral Theology and Leadership along with those from Education.

Construction on parking lot above Kieffer Hall will continue till the early part of next year. But then there will be 20 to 30 more parking spaces on campus.

Jonathon will remain in Seoul as he awaits the possibilities of extending his rowing visit to include the coast of North Korea.
