Testimonials

“I had a tremendously useful experience in CCLC. The week of workshops at Claremont College was informative and the learning I picked up was almost overwhelming. Here in Hawaii, with colleagues across the community college system we devised the first mission and the first group activities of the organization. Much that I learned that year has served me well as I’ve been involved in UH system-level activities over the years. Joyce Tsunoda, Peggy Cha, and Cammie Matsumoto were extraordinary in helping us go from vision to execution.”
