In case youʻre wondering who the new face is in TRiO SSS, itʻs Kai Noa Lilly. Kai Noa is the coordinator for the Ka Piko Center. The Ka Piko Center provides career counseling and exploration, supplemental instructions, tutoring, and writing assistance. Currently the Ka Piko Center is located on the first and second floor of Ākoakoa. Beginning fall, some of the services will move into the new library.
Kai Noa is on a mission to find out what works for the various student programs/projects on campus. Heʻs observing practices, work flow, and interactions as well as asking students, faculty and staff what the good things that make the program/project successful are and what are the things that donʻt work so well and could be improved. He hopes to take all that he learns and incorporate it into the Ka Piko Center when it opens in the fall.
Please make him feel welcome and let him know what is good about TRiO SSS as well as what can be improved on. And just because we are TRiO SSS, please feel free to call him on what he knows, thinks he knows, or tell him what he should know. We want the Ka Piko Center to be just as successful or better than TRiO SSS so we all donʻt get stuck in the loser land of status quo.
