Construction Update- Noisy Work in and Around 2200 Building

June 25, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Hello Campus Community,

Starting Tuesday, 6/27, through Tuesday, July 18th, Forma will be conducting noisy work in and around the 2200 building.  They will be performing HVAC work in the roof from June 27th to July 9th. 

On July 10th, a mobile crane will be onsite to lift the new HVAC unit from the South side of #2200 to the roof. After that they are installing a new gas line on the East exterior wall the week of July 18th.  The most disruptive part of this work will be the crane work. 

Please reach out to Kim Clark (kclark@shoreline.edu) with any questions or concerns.

Events and News 

Good afternoon all! I hope your week has slowed down a bit while the quarter comes to an end. My highlight for the week was Commencement. This year was a little different for me as I’m not faculty and therefore don’t know as many students as many of you, but I do know some, and of course am vicariously proud viewing our students through the eyes of faculty, staff, and audience members. It was a great day and so wonderful to meet so many students and their parents, and to connect with our faculty. My favorite moment was when this man yelled from the stands “THAT’S MY GRANDSON! THATS MY GRANDSON!” It was a beautiful sentiment.  

I want to thank the Commencement Committee (Sundi, Caela, Yushin, Lauren, Akagi, Michaela, Pamela, Randy, Linda, Derek, Greg, Kimberlee, Suzanne, Eberth, Aimee, Tsetsen, Crystal, Taylor, & Lori!) for organizing such a fantastic event, and everyone else who helped volunteer to make it memorable. Congrats to our wonderful students, and to all of you for all the work you did this year- this is why we do it, right? 

On Monday I attended the Juneteenth event at City Hall. It’s nice after living here a year to now attend events and see people I know in the community. It was both fun and inspiring to participate in an event filled with community pride. There were a lot of great performances from many of the youth team associated with Black Coffee, including local faves Double-Dutch Divas, who always get the crowd going.  

This week I have been busy with interviews and planning items and haven’t had as much time to touch base with community members. I did meet with two folks from a new health care agency that will be coming to our area in the next 1.5 years or so. They are hoping to get connected to local organizations to provide job opportunities for nurses, entry-level mental health workers, and others. It may be a great opportunity for our students! More to come in the future. 

On a personal note, I’m thinking about enjoying some summer long weekends to take advantage of the nice weather here and explore some new areas (Eastern Washington for example). If you have suggestions (particularly that are dog friendly), please let me know! I hope you all have some exciting plans for the summer as well. After a tough year this year of losing two of our canine family members, we rescued a new pup. She’s sweet, and also quite a handful! Agnes Elaine pictured below.

Have a great weekend!

This is an ad for Shoreline. It has a green background and three images of students- one is of nursing students, another is two students chatting outside and a third is manufacturing.

“Bon Voyage” to Lisa Maroni, Senior Associate Director of International Outreach

June 22, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Lisa Maroni, Senior Associate Director of International Outreach, is bringing her time at Shoreline to a close this summer after six and a half years of dedicated service to International Education. 

Lisa has been instrumental in broadening Shoreline’s reach around the world. Because of her hard work in developing markets in Africa and the Middle East, the international outreach team has diversified our incoming students. As of Spring 2023, we have international students from over 64 different countries around the world. 

A passionate advocate of community colleges, Lisa spent her time not only extolling the benefits of Shoreline, but also educating countless international students, families, and partners about U.S. community colleges and their essential role in our education system. The relationships she has nurtured with agencies and partners around the world over the years have proven to be invaluable to Shoreline. 

At the 2023 Annual NAFSA Conference & Expo in Washington, D.C., Lisa received the award for Outstanding Contributions to International Enrollment Management (IEM). NAFSA, the Association of International Education, is the world’s largest and most diverse nonprofit association dedicated to international education and exchange. The Annual Award for Outstanding Contributions to International Enrollment Management honors a NAFSA member who has made exemplary contributions to the field of IEM for at least 10 years. 

Lisa will soon be moving to Nairobi, Kenya, to work for the Institute of International Education as the EducationUSA Regional Educational Advising Coordinator (REAC) for East and Southern Africa. This U.S. Department of State network of over 425 international student-advising centers in more than 175 countries is the official source that promotes U.S. higher education to students around the world and provides services to help the U.S. higher education community meet recruitment and campus internationalization goals. Lisa is excited to continue the work of broadly promoting international education while supporting a network of 30 advising centers across a 25-country portfolio. Lisa will be missed by all of us at Shoreline, but please join us in congratulating her on her distinguished award and prestigious new role!
