Hello everyone,

Due to structural changes of SPACES (Student Promoted Access Center for Education), the center which funds both KP STAR and KP CORE, has consolidated both internships into one. For this reason, we were only able to hire one intern, who will be the KP Access and Retention Coordinator. However, KP has decided that it would like to keep each coordinator for both KP STAR and KP CORE, but since we do not have the funds to pay these interns these positions will be unpaid. Regardless, their job descriptions will be nearly similar to that of this year.

For this reason, we are opening these positions once again! If you are interested in becoming the KP STAR or KP CORE Coordinator, please fill out the application(s) attached to this email. More information about each program and each position is listed in the application.

The deadline for these applications are Wednesday, June 4 by 11:59PM to brentcadavona@gmail.com. If you have already filled out this application for the first time we opened these positions, please simply resend your application. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me through email or phone. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

So were there things you liked and didn’t like about this year’s PCC process?
Well we’d like to know! We want to hear what you have to say so we can improve the process next year!
So join us on THURSDAY 5/29 in the Large Conference Room in the Cross Cultural Center (NOT the one in PC Expansion) at 5pm.

——————————–

If you are so excited about next year’s PCC already, there’s also a script forum for next year’s PCC!
Since you guys are going to be there anyways, you mind as well come a wee bit earlier to this event and bounce some ideas around for NEXT YEAR’S SCRIPT. Doesn’t this sound so exciting??!!?! Come at 3-5pm on Thursday Lecture Hall in the CCC (NOT the one in PC Expansion).

Messages from your lovely 07-08 and 08-09 Co-Cultural Coordinators,
Artchie, Ming, Melissa and Camille!

Labor outsourcing has systematically pushed workers of “developing countries” into a difficult situation. Brands like Gap, Sean John and H&M have been found employing sweatshops, labor institutions which often force individuals with very few options into a bereft situation of poor wages and uncooperative working conditions. (See also: human rights violations, capitalism)

KP wants to explore this topic by raising awareness of the issue while still raising funds for KP and GABRIELA Network (all-volunteer, US-based, multi-racial women’s solidarity mass organization; gabnet.org). Come out for a presentation of the issue (as it happens in the Philippines, yes, but also in the US), and enjoy the “oohs” and “ahhs” of fly college students strutting their alternative-yet-practical-clothing options!

Regardless of your position on economic standards and human rights, learn more about the issues and some ways you can get involved.

$5 at the door gets you:

Light Refreshments/Snacks, Fashion Fierceness, Consciousness-Raising, Networking with Activist Orgs and Poppin Performances to Dazzle You Senseless.
