New Director for KPC - Kenai Peninsula College has been informed by the University of Alaska Anchorage Provost’s office that Gary J. Turner has accepted the position of Director for Kenai Peninsula College.

KPC Falls into Next Semester - Preparations for KPC's fall semester are well under way. Suzie Kendrick, Community Relations Coordinator, pointed out that the college offers more than the regular academic courses.

KPC To Acquire Mobile Lab - Soon, students won't have to travel to the labs to access computers; the computers will travel to them. KPC is acquiring an innovative new computer lab system for fall semester.

Fall In Finances - Before students forget about school for the summer, they should remember to plan for the fall. For students interested in financial assistance, changes are being implemented in loan programs.

Words of Wisdom for New KPC Grads - At the request of Connections, several KPC professors offered advice for the new KPC graduates:

School Days, School Ways - KPC students don't have to be on campus to take courses. Besides the traditional classroom method, there are also three distance formats available: Telecourses, Satellite delivery, and Online.

Summer Session - KPC in the summer is not a desolate place. It is rather low on student population, though.

Popular Humanities Class Returns - Humanities 220, Film as/and Literature is returning for the Fall semester. The course focuses on Film Noir and the literature that inspired these "dark films" which were produced between roughly 1945-1955.

Andreas Veh, KPCs' new Physics instructor says there will be a partial solar eclipse on June 10, 2002 that will be visible on the Kenai Peninsula.
