The Alumni Association is encouraging alumni to become judges for Kekaulike Senior projects, which will be held on Friday, March 14, 2014.  Every Kekaulike Senior is required to complete and present a project to graduate.  Therefore, community support in this endeavor is important.

Receiving feedback from the community is an important component in giving students a realistic experience in delivering professional presentations.

Judging times available include 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.; 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.; 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  It is not necessary for volunteer judges to stay for all presentations. The time you contribute to these seniors is greatly appreciated.

King Kekaulike, then senior, Mary Klein shows volunteer judge Leo Caires a saddle she built for her 2013 senior project last year. Klein said she prepared rawhide and replaced an old saddle she found with new leather. “I love it,” she said. “It’s very comfortable and fits my horse.” The project took about 170 hours of work; she was mentored by leatherworkers Henry Silva and Gretchen Cardoso. The Class of 2013 members presented their individual senior projects to about 330 volunteer judges in classrooms across the campus.
