Alumni Testimonial
Without KapCC STEM, and the kind heart of Aunty Keolani, I would not be in college. Through the KapCC STEM Program, and specifically the STEM summer bridge, I was able to take math classes for free, find a career that I love, and make lifetime friends. I am very proud to call myself a KCC alumna.
