In spring 2010, Kilohana will open its new
space on the ground floor of the Mookini Library.
In addition to providing much needed
space for tutors and students to meet, the
center will house reference material and resources
to help students with academic challenges
such as effective time management,
managing test anxiety, taking and using
notes from lecture and textbook, and studying
smarter. In fall 2010 we will launch a selfpaced
developmental skills program that will
allow motivated students to further prepare
themselves for the academic rigor of university
coursework.
