The Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture has issued an alert about a new pest of avocado that has been reported in the Islands, the avocado lace bug (Pseudacysta perseae). First discovered in Pearl City in December, it has since been seen in Waialua as well. So far, it has only been found on O‘ahu.
The Office of Communication Services is updating its CTAHR CALENDAR OF EVENTS, and your kokua is appreciated: we’re asking each department, unit, program, or county office to email OCS a list of events you have planned—or will participate in with stakeholders—during the Spring 2020 school year.
If you haven't updated your professional profile on the CTAHR Directory in a while, now's the time to do it...starting with headshots. And the Office of Communication Services could use a headshot, too, for celebrating all your illustrious accomplishments. So take a selfie or three, or stop by Gilmore 211 for a professionally taken photo. OCS staff will be happy to capture you in your best light, free of charge!
