Campus Updates 6/1/23

Events and News 

Good afternoon, folks- hope all are well! Toward the end of last week, I had the chance to greet some of our incoming Dolphins from our area high schools. I did my best to engage but honestly these teens are a tough crowd! 😊 In all seriousness though, it was great to see some new folks coming in for the fall and have an opportunity to brag about Shoreline and the great work that you all do. 

This week I have been with some of our amazing folks from International Education at the NAFSA: Association of International Educators conference in Washington DC.  It has been fun meeting new colleagues and seeing all the amazing work that our team (here with me – Samira Pardanani, Yushin Wung, Lisa Maroni and Cynthia Okawara) does to bring the world to Shoreline! The time has been very productive and has given me some good ideas for future collaborations to support our students. It’s also inspiring to meet with people from all over the world who share an educational vision and respect for humanity. 

One standout moment for me from this week, was a meeting with representatives from the United Arab Emirates Education center here in Washington DC.  We have about 8 students at our college through this partnership and we met with them to discuss progress, support, and potential future students being placed at Shoreline. I really enjoyed meeting these representatives and discussing our partnership! We are the first Community College in the country to host these government sponsored students.  

See you back on campus next week! 

Best, 

Jack

Institutional Research (in PIE Planning & Institutional Effectiveness) 

New Student Registration for Summer and Fall began May 22, 2023. The first day of summer instruction is July 3, 2023. You can view current and archived Daily Enrollment Reports here: Daily Enrollment Reports (Public):  

• Summer 2023 
• Fall 2023 

Caveats: it is still early for Fall enrollment and due to ransomware, we do not have access to past year same-day comparison (even if we did, fraudulent students in Summer/Fall 2022 would make this a bad comparison). 

A link to these reports always can be found at the Shoreline Support Center > Employee > Daily Enrollment Report.
