EVENTS AND NEWS  

Hi folks, hope your week is going well!  It’s been a busy one as usual- I imagine for you as well.  I will give you a few highlights from my week here.  

Last week VP King, Dean Hamilton, and I presented to about 100 folks attending the WACTC Promising Practices: Innovative Practices in Dual Credit event.  The event featured a couple of other colleges and was very interesting.  Dean Hamilton did a great job describing our partnerships with our awesome K-12 district, Seagen and Fred Hutch, and our Biotech programs.  Collaboration with our various partners has been applauded by many groups. The faculty and staff that make it happen should be proud of what we are offering to students.  We will bring this same presentation to the board next month, so stay tuned! 

On Friday I had the opportunity to meet with interim Chancellor Rosie Rimando-Chareunsap from the Seattle Community College District over at Black Coffee Northwest.  It was great getting to know her and learning about her experiences here in Washington.  We discussed some shared project interests which I am hoping to get started with this spring.   

This week I also had my first opportunity to see how our tenure process works at Shoreline Community College.  The best part, of course, was hearing about the interesting and engaging work faculty are doing within and outside the classroom.  It was fascinating, and I am glad to be part of this process. 

Lastly, we had our monthly community forum this month also and I am very appreciative of the folks who attended.  We did a review of the budget and budget processes as well as an update on accreditation. We will do this every month to help increase financial and accreditation literacy across campus.  We will continue with the updates coming. 

Have a great week! 

Be well all! 

Cheers, 

Jack
