Wave of Gratitude to Tom Harvey

A Wave of Gratitude to Tom Harvey for His career of Service.

Tom has worked tirelessly over many years to support all aspect of this college and deserves way more gratitude than he has received. With his pending retirement October 1st everyone should extend a thank you for his commitment and service keeping systems operating, events set-up, carpentry, and worksite preparedness so rooms are comfortable for students and staff.

He is known for his willingness to help out, let’s get it done attitude, to share knowledge, pleasant conversation, and ready sense of humor. On countless occasions he has spent hours getting equipment set-up for hourly students and classified staff so jobs can be accomplished safely, then taught equipment use and supervised job completion. He is always a wonderful example of dedication and commitment to task no matter what the assignments he is given. Shoreline College will be hard pressed to find a replacement for Tom Harvey!

Have a wonderful retirement, you deserve every moment!!

Shoreline Shout-out to Facilities

A Shoreline Shout-out to Facilities and Capital projects for Inclusive Excellence, Respect, Student Engagement, and Community Engagement.

Melanie, along with the entire Grounds and Facilities team, provides ongoing and exceptional care for our buildings and outdoor spaces, often through work that when done well can easily go unnoticed by the community they serve. Recently, I observed Melanie taking the initiative to deep clean the outdoor trash containers, a task that many would never see but one that reflects their commitment to maintaining a clean, welcoming environment for everyone. This proactive attention to essential details demonstrates a genuine sense of care and stewardship for our campus community. –  Submitted anonymously.
