“I am deeply grateful for Chancellor Daisy\u2019s guidance of Kauaʻi<\/span> CC<\/abbr> and contributions to the community colleges system, especially over the past few years helping to navigate the campus through the pandemic,” said University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Vice President for Community Colleges Erika Lacro<\/strong>. “Chancellor Daisy\u2018s legacy of service and dedication to the residents of Kauaʻi<\/span> County are much appreciated.”<\/p>\n
