The next big step in the college emergency management plan is happening.

The All-Hazards Training is an excellent overview of what faculty and staff should be prepared for in various emergency situations.  The training is an hour and a half long and will be presented on numerous dates and times. On Wednesday, June 18, the training will take place at 9 a.m. in room 2925.

This important training is mandatory for all faculty and staff.

For those unable to attend the scheduled trainings offered before the end of this academic year, additional opportunities will be offered in fall, 2014.

Faculty members are not expected to attend trainings that occur outside of the contractual academic calendar. Associate faculty members who attend mandatory training and submit a completed time-sheet to the VPASA’s office will be paid for that time at the contractual rate for non-instructional work, $39 per hour.

There is nothing more important to this effort than a well-trained staff.  Preparation, training and readiness can make all the difference should the college ever be faced with a critical emergency.

Local company glassbaby produces hand-blown candle holders and are votives with a motive, giving – and giving back…

Twice each year glassbaby holds a special sale at their Madrona location to sell their “perfectly imperfect” glassybaby at their “seconds sale”.

To further their mission of giving back, glassbaby selects partners to receive 10% of the proceeds from the day’s sales. The upcoming June sale will direct 10% of sale proceeds to grow the profession of nurses and help support their educational costs.

glassbaby has chosen four nursing programs to benefit from this June’s sale: Seattle Pacific University, Seattle University, Bellevue College and Shoreline Community College. The proceeds will go to help fund need-based nursing scholarships. SCC Foundation and the nursing department are grateful to glassbaby and their kindness and devotion of giving back and supporting Shoreline’s nursing students.
