KPC HEADLINES

Valentine’s Day Approaching - Love is in the air this month as people at KPC and around the world prepare to celebrate Valentine’s Day by exchanging popular gifts such as cards, chocolates, and flowers. For others, Valentine’s Day is merely an over-commercialized holiday they can do without.

Skywalk vs. Elevators - The KPC Skywalk project has turned from an exclamation point to a question mark. According to Philip Miller, KPC’s maintenance supervisor, the original $425,000 approved by the UA Board of Regents for the plan, which was designed to provide disabled access to the upstairs faculty offices, may not be enough with the rising costs of construction.

KPC To Hire Assistant Director of Academic Affairs - KPC is seeking an Assistant Director of Academic Affairs. According to Arts and Sciences chair Professor Barbara Christian, the person hired will help to streamline some of the college’s administrative functions.

The KPC Student Union Reports Open Mic Night Return - Open Mic Night is back! Requested by many people on campus, the Student Union has brought back the awesomely successful, fun-filled, music night.

ASSET Out; Accuplacer In: KPC Gets New Placement Test - One of the first things students do when they start KPC is visit the learning center to take the ASSET placement test. It helps determine their proficiency levels in math, reading, and writing. They then know what courses they qualify for in those areas. But now a change is coming. Testing is not going away, but ASSET is. KPC is switching to the Accuplacer test.

New Kicks In Online Console Gaming, PS2s! - The ability to share your gaming experience with Gamers from across the world is nothing new, but presently software developers from companies such as Sony are bringing the people a marriage of epic joy—online console play! Console systems are rapidly catching up with the PC’s ability to throw a good gaming experience, and the next generation of PlayStation games is in.
