Rezina Habtemariam is Acting Director of Student Life.
Habtemariam is stepping in for Rae-Ann Barras, who in January had to unexpectedly leave the college due to a personal issue.
Habtemariam is well-familiar with a broad spectrum of student-life opportunities. She is a 2009 Shoreline graduate and then transferred to Seattle University. As a student at Shoreline, Habtemariam worked in The Ebbtide newspaper, was president of the Black Student Union and participated in several study-abroad trips.
Habtemariam worked with International Education before moving to the Student Leadership Center (SLC) in 2013. In addition to her current position, she is pursuing a Master’s degree in Cultural Studies at the University of Washington.
Dean of Students Kim Thompson said Habtemariam will continue as acting director through June 2015 while SLC staffing needs are reviewed.
