KPC HEADLINES

An interview with Barb Christian: Belief in Dialogue - Barb Christian, professor of English at Kenai Peninsula College with a Ph.D in Literature and Criticism, recently published her second book, Belief in Dialogue: U.S. Latina Writers Confront Their Religious Heritage. An interview with Dr. Christian reveals why this book is a must read for anyone who wishes to broaden their horizons.

Spring break in Italy; Buon viaggio! - KRC Art Student League Association members are going to Italy! They'll be traveling March 3 - 13 throughout the country for 10 days of art, architecture, culture and personal experience. According to Celia Anderson, director of KRC's art program and one of the advisors of the league, "This is the first 'big' event that speaks to the club's mission of promoting and enhancing arts education for its members."

Student health clinic: The nuts and bolts of a timeline - A behind the scenes timeline that looks back on the referendum process for establishing the student health clinic from Nicole Simmons, KRC Student Union communications officer…

KPC continues to revitalize Dena’ina language, culture - With several projects (major and minor; structural and intellectual) under its belt, Kenai Peninsula College has grown immensely in recent years. But the visibility and value of projects can be elusive. Many have no doubt noticed the construction area outside the Ward building but probably have not noticed what's going on upstairs in the anthropology lab.

Classroom spotlight: Business & Personal Selling - Personal Selling (BA A2640) is offered each semester here at KPC. In this business class, taught by Professor Ray Zagorski, students learn techniques in professional selling and develop human relation skills.

Finding Homer night life - There have been many attempts in our fair town of Homer to provide young people with venues for entertainment, but just about all of them have gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Student information release mandated by federal law - Military recruiters are an ordinary sight at college campuses, including KPC, but many students don't realize that the recruiters may never have to set foot on campus to learn about that institution's students. The Solomon Amendment, a 1996 federal law, "mandates that institutions receiving certain federal agency funding must fulfill military recruitment requests for access to campus and for lists containing student recruiting information," according to a guide put out by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO). UAA is among the many universities that must provide student directory information to recruiters, or forfeit those federal funds.

Arctic Winter Games Special Report
Kenai, Alaska - There have been reports of telephone solicitations for donations in support of the Arctic Winter Games being made on the Kenai Peninsula, particularly in the Kenai / Soldotna area. These solicitations are unauthorized and are not affiliated with the Arctic Winter Games Board, Committees or Organization. If you receive a call of this nature requesting you to donate funds to support "The Games" do not give out bank account numbers, credit card numbers or other personal information. Please contact your local authorities or call the Arctic Winter Games office at 262-2006. The 2006 Arctic Winter Games has not contracted with any company to solicit funding in this manner.
